I passed a car the other day with it's windows down, and on the radio was Bob Dylan's <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC5UJajo73s>Mr. Tambourine Man.</a> Will I test positive for marijuana?

According to Technoviking's <a href=http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/91802/post-907290#msg907290>post</a>, where he linked to the definition of terrorism according to the criminal code, you're right and you're wrong. Putting a creampie in someone's face is violence, and I think a case can...

Now thats comedy! ;D

To be fair, this in particular I suspected on my own.  I'm not surprised wiser heads have reached similar conclusions... Petamocto, I hope I didn't come off sounding like a jerk in my previous post.  I have a kneejerk reaction when people declare "We need to do more studies!"  Thank you for...

But don't think that this kind of personal interest will automatically make Nijmegan a good go. Somehow, our team will either: a) cross the river and finish the task three days ahead of schedule, or b) suffer a catastrophic failure as it finds itself surrounded on three sides by a dug in and...

Even between staff and candidates on BMQ? You obviously have more experience then I in these situations, but it seems to me that on BMQ the normal course of business is a lot of "MOVE NOW" going down the chain and a lot of "YES MCPL!" going back up.

From the US Govt. JP 1-02 Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms. Seems to fit the bill... ;)

Uh oh. It almost sounds like you're trying to make a new rucksack.  Are you sure something just as good can't be bought off the shelf? My (admittedly amateur) understanding of tactical shooting is that "The Best" is a pretty subjective thing.  Like you said, everyone and his dog thinks their...

Seriously Greg, I have trouble deciphering your posts. :-\ Are you saying that guys who don't want to be leaders (i.e. career CPLs) should not be given authority over anyone but themselves?

I must be an anomaly. I've been privileged to have worked for a VERY supportive chain of command, similar to the one Tango2Bravo described on the last page. I have NEVER heard anyone say "STFU, you're just a CPL".  On the contrary, I've often heard "Speak the fuck up! You're a CPL!"  If I've...

...or his robowife will lose her roboshit when she finds out she's stuck with the robokids while he's doing extras in the robobubble.

I love you, Wesley.

If you look at the 1:00 mark of the video, you'll notice Lockheed's robolegs wearing MK3 vibram soles. I wonder if it's robocartilage had to wear out in it's robojoints, or if it developed roboback problems, before it could get a chit?

If mainstream Australians are anything like mainstream Canadians, I shudder to think what would happen if their personal opinions dictated military strategy.

My point is this: While, like you said, no one actually complained to you about the words on the sign at FOB Union, you did get quite a bit of hot lead sent your way. My impression is that things really didn't start to turn around until Petreaus came in and emphasized that the war in Iraq...

As if the war in Iraq was going well in 2006?  ::) My understanding is that until Petreaus took over as Commanding General in Jan 07, the place was a sh|t show.  One of the things that got him the job was his article from Oct 06, Learning Counterinsurgency: Observations from Soldiering in Iraq...

Have you taken a look at Kyle Lamb's book Green Eyes & Black Rifles?  He's an Ex-Delta guy, and kind of a big deal.  He wrote his book while in Iraq on his off time to wind down from a long day of killing terrorists. He's all about teaching SPORTS, and letting it naturally evolve to TAP, RACK...

You sir, just won the thread. I retract all my previous assertions on the topic. ;D

Maybe I just wasn't clear on what I meant "done wrong". There is no doubt that the PRes is important and that PRes soldiers have served admirably in Afghanistan. My point is simply that they (we) can't treat this "re-allocation of funds" to be a personal insult. You can make a case that other...

Which is exactly why we shouldn't be doing the same thing. The Taliban call this a Holy War to garner support among moderate Muslims.  The more we look like Crusaders, the more they can justify Jihad. The personal feelings of our soldiers towards this religious inscription is pretty...
