Man, I think the tinfoil hats are on with this latest conspiracy. Are we supposed to only trust information that supports our view? Search the world over and you'll eventually find a website or Blog that will support any issue. Propaganda is used by each side remember "In war the first casualty...

The guide I use is when medals are on, so is the wedge.

The dress manual is wriiten in the way, that if you do not see that it is allowed, it isn't, i.e. Unless wedge is listed as Cbt dress, it isn't

I knew someone who claimed to be a Rastafarian and his dreads drew the sgt-major nuts for years

I guess thats just his opinion

The point is that it would have been a media moment one way or another..Here's to doing the right thing

He was referring to the use of Rifleman as a rank for trained privates in a Rifle Regiment. Not to be cofused with the job of rifleman in an infantry section (which can be a Private or Corporal) ::)

Big question: Are natives actually citizens of Canada?

I've always thought that we could send all the forces on operations and give 6 month tours of Canada. This of course would cause the need for a new Domestic Tour Medal

The war on terrorism is the same aggressive term as "the war on illiteracy" <--- is this a war? Being that we are there so they can stabilize and form a civil society. I would perhaps use the term Support to civil authority. Why is it so important to be called a war? I'd say in order to be...

I am not arguing the merits of the Afgan mission, just the fact that both sides use propaganda and a truly informed person will see the BS on both sides. The one I pointed out is proponents for Afghanistan will say if you don't support the mission, you aren't supporting the soldiers. This does...

I do agree with becoming informed, however I would stop at suggesting the only measure of being informed is to agree with the government. I would add question both sides, ensure that the aim has...

I always see that wackos are just that, they are on the left and the right. They both are blinded by their convictions. Both use canned speeches to get their points across and whine when they don't get their way. They also tend to attack the person, not the problem There are always three...

I'm not a history buff, but I can't think of a time when public opinion was cause for us to pull out of a theatre. In fact, in the past we were staying for way to long. I am all for the debate, as we are a democracy and that's how we do business. Give the reasons for why we are there and what...

I believe quarter wellingtons are similar to shoes, half wellingtons are high tops and wellingtons are british for rubber boots.

Wait showing up with whatever you want.........that's old school

I would like to know where the reference is to where the basic load has changed to 300 rounds (in magazines)?

How about go one step further and just give every soldier a cap badge and some money. They can buy what ever they feel they may need when launched into battle. That way time can be spent wondering if everyone bought kit that will work, whether they bought enough of it. Heck, we can just get more...

The past is nothing to sneeze at bt I would say we were respected because we were professional and disciplined.
