HOM - Thank you very much for your comments.  You guys have added lots of ammunition to enable me to win this fight.  It's hard when you go up against a class full of hot heads that will argue simply for the sake of arguing (isn't that what debates are all about haha).  The thing is, the topic...

I'm sorry Yrys, I should have clarified that. Trinitarian war is introduced by Clausewitz but is in my opionion best defined by van Creveld as being a war fought with three key components: the military, the government, and the people.   This is best applied to be seen as instead of fighting a...

Thats a big help! Thanks! I like the approach you use, but I'm trying to keep this as academic as possible, without resorting to ad hominen arguments.  However some of that will definately be useful in the debate.  Thanks again!

Hey Guys, Not sure if this was already posted.  If so delete. Tonight there is a special on OLN (Outdoor Life Network) called Ed's Up: Army.  It is showing at 8:00pm Eastern.  It is a short feature on the Canadian Army. Just thought some might be interested to watch. Cheers

They issue them to you if you need them.

Matt, Big help!! Thanks for taking the time to share that information with me!

Thanks for the Clarification SMMT!

Here's some reading on the opposite spectrum.  Seems to be the usual crap of the Taliban talking out of their @$$.  All I have to say is bring their 10,000 weak, poorly trained excuses of fighters and watch how quickly NATO can exterminate them like the cockroaches they are...

On the news last night it stated that it was a Dutch Commander spearheading the operation?
