nbk I can understand what you are saying but comparing religion to a gang was a poor choice. nULL, I agree that children need to learn about the differences, but I think it would be best for non-biased teachers to explain it rather than some biased parents who may either be prejudiced or...

NBK, If they feel it is a religious OBLIGATION to wear it all the time, that is their perogative and it makes no difference to me. The Hijab is not an obligation that affects me, or any person other than the ones fufilling thier religious duties. I am afraid to see how you would respond to a...

Very VERY well said Gunnar :eek:

My comment was made in the context as if we had actually ever caught a bomber and he/she was no longer an immediate threat. As was said, "if someone had been reading him/her their rights." Sure if the bombers got his finger on the trigger, by all means, put as many rounds in his body as you...

I am inclined to agree with Gate_Gaurd entirely here. On the other hand, I would also be wary about what right wing parties are likely to do to our health care and education systems. The Alliance were generally made up of people who get as close to laissez-faire as possible, and most of the...

Actually, Goose wouldn‘t read anything to you since he‘s not in the military. (May the powers that be have mercy on us if he did get past the physical ..hehehehe) We all know the consequences of what your actions would lead to. You‘d be strung up as fast as the troops were after the Somalia...

Cpl Thompson, re: both your posts - I couldn‘t have said it better myself, (although I do not have the ability to say that I serving with any regiment at the moment, I will soon enough)

Thanks again, that‘s good input.

Che, thanks for the input on the ‘Hijab‘. Is that the headscarf we are all referring to? I am not sure of the significance but am going off my own limited presumptions and likely inaccuracies about why it is worn.

NBK, Someone wearing a headscarf or some other religious item isn‘t always trying to convert you. Would you take off your helmet in a shower of shrapnel because a recruit told you to? To some, wearing this item is their religious duty and the feel that they must for whatever reason (going...

Geez infanteer, You make it sound like I am protecting France. As for my writing, I will try to take that as a compliment as not all people are as wise as you are. :D What makes you think that comes out of a text book? :eek:

GAte_Gaurd, Although I agree completely that France has personality issues at times, I do not belive that national pride is only the result of military success. (Take a look at New Foundlanders..hehehe...there‘s a lot more than military pride there...and quebecois too) I see national pride...

I know this has been going on for a while, but any thoughts on this???? French cabinet moves on religious symbols Associated Press Paris â ” French cabinet ministers on Wednesday adopted a bill to ban all conspicuous religious symbols in public schools â ” the first step to a law...

Tech, As a side note on this, it might be premature to jump to the conclusion that it was done ‘by a militia group.‘ Not that I am a fan of the structure in the U.S. system at times and the deregulation you mention re: weapons and militia‘s. Mabey they came off a little strange in ‘Bowling...

Are Suicide Bombers Cowards? I would argue that it depends on the circumstances of the bombing. When it is cowardly: To openly seek help from a soldier only to blow up when he/she or they are close enough. In the words of someone on this site, "that‘s disgusting." :evil: :fifty...

I agree S_Baker. Infidels are infidels and occupiers are occupiers - depending on your perspective. Where did you hear that we have plans for those ROTO‘s? That‘s interesting to me. Like you I don‘t agree with taking this break, but from what I have seen, the problems with the CF‘s...

This guys website has some really cool stuff on it. http://www.henry.martinez.net/ My favorite links inside it are the osama bin laden liquor store shooting game, (as immature as it might be) http://www.henry.martinez.net/games/binladenliquors/ and the ‘life as a guy‘ video clip...

here‘s to the tears, here‘s to the years won‘t ever forget fallen infanteers

darn it

I can live with your arguments. lol...5 year plans...lets try and try again like they do with the army...NOT. Kosovo etc... I would suggest are a mix between wanting a good image, and ALSO our concerns for humanity (or wanting that ‘good state‘ image depending on your view. The only example I...
