Canada is a fantastic nation; just thought I would throw that in. :salute: :cdn:

Having violent tendencies is fine as long as you can control them; I personally want to hit everyone that gives me a funny face. dousn't mean I will; but if my nation asked me to kill for it's survival I'm sure those tendencies would be very usefull and in fact sought after by these psuedo...

I agree the U.S. would more than likely lose; China's shear numbers for one reason. As well China has been upgrading it's forces, building more technologically advanced naval vessels and aircraft. The only advantage the U.S. has is it's technology, once that's trumped the U.S. will not have what...

So true; yet people do not seem to learn from the past most of the time, despite those well known and much acclaimed words 'those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it' I guess were all just stuck in a vicious cycle of repetition the only difference's the circumstances. :crybaby:

Well despite the lack of funds our men and women are trained well, in the event of an attack I am sure they will do us proud. :salute: :cdn:

If that is true it is very disturbing, the government really needs to pick up the ball on this one. Then again if there was a terrrorist attack while the liberals were in office maybe the east would be shaken enough to vote conservative, and give our armed forces a fighting chance(excuse the...

Hillier has come out saying that Canada is at more risk of a direct attack now than at any time during the cold war, any thoughts on that assessment?

Can you people give me some pointers on the interview process i.e. what to do and what not to do? this isn't four years old, haha. March 1, 2005

Yes the possibilities are truly gawk worthy in there magnitude, though I still hold to the idea that Russia would have eventually won the war. Also; yes the United States did make most of our armour due to the fact they were at war with Germany as well, but even if they weren't and were at war...

Is the JTF2 similar to the SEALS? Or does Canada have something else equivalent? :soldier:

When the United States joined the war yes but until then no, many of the men from the African corps were kept in England Scotland and wales. The majority however of POW's came to Canada, and yes I am familiar with them. Your assuption however that because these men were used as gaurds all gaurds...

I regress; your right regarding the statistics in Great Britain and those regarding our active troop strength during the war I must have meant a million troops in the entire forces. I will however back my statement that we had many troops being held back in Canada. For numerous reasons not least...

Currently I am in preparation to join the reserves in my home city of Calgary. I have been training for a few months now but I would like to know what you men in the military would suggest is best regiment of training in order that I will be ready. At this moment in time I jog for half an hour...

I agree T.I.M it does depend on a lot of thing's, I also agree that the U.S.S.R would have eventually prevailed over Germany. I was posing the question with the premise that material support would have continued. You must all keep in mind as well though that Canada had quite few troops being...

Sorry if this has been done; I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday, he believes we would have won.

My grandfather was (he has since passed on) colonel Kenneth Munn commander of the fifteenth medical company (among other things)

Well let's move on. I plan on joining the reserves this summer can anyone give me an idea of what kind of work out routine I should have in order to be prepared? At currednt I jog for an hour, do 120 push ups and 180 sit ups as well as two reps of forty with my barbell.

I'm new here so I won't judge, but I will say it seems from my initial contact that people on this site are quite cynical.

Ha ha, so true; trusting these two is not an option. The U.S. is not a position to do anything though as it seems their services will be needed frequently in Iraq for years and years to come.

May I ask why you thought asking people who they thought was the party most fit to lead was not a valid post?
