I found this today, It's an interesting documentary on the Soviet Afghan war... It's mostly concerned with the brunt of the fighting in the north/east of Afghanistan, but worth a watch nonetheless. http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-140756878294549745&q=war+duration%3Along

Oh man, Shakira really let herself go..

We always figured that overseas, the shittiest way to go would be to get backed over by the shitter truck. No pun intended.  :-\

No, cooks are the hardest working! God bless the cooks, keeping grumpy Cpls like me happy with good food!  :salute:

Ninjas. Definitely ninjas.

Damnit, I'm on ex this weekend.... Going to miss it.

Nope, that poll is flawed. They didn't discount everyone who answered in a positive light.  ::)

Brilliant. I've got to admit, the back of the SWASM is really well done, In my humble opinion.

My medal broke on rememberance day. Not sure if I'm really motivated to pay to get it fixed any time soon.

I got in trouble in the sixth grade for drawing a cartoon tank. I guess for my schooling at least, all my schools and teachers figured that we didn't really need to learn about anything to make us proud of our military history, or even much about the specifics of our military history. (Mostly...

Weren't we only part of the US led coalition (under OEF) for Op Archer Roto 0? Then switched back to NATO for Roto 1?

I'm all for looking forward and trying to find peaceful resolutions when possible, however, isn't the entire point of Rememberance day to look back and remember those who've fallen? Without looking back, you won't know the horrors that we want to avoid repeating.

I think that's more of a list of recruiting events that they want people to go to and protest. I wonder if they're actually cohesive enough to actually organize anything at any of these events. Maybe if someone here has had a run in with them? Also, from their site I found this quote...

+1 Kat. You've hit the nail right on the head there.

It's interesting, though, to see how things change over time and a news article which is valid one day is not necessarily quite so the next.... I suppose the mods can delete my previous post as it's no longer relevant.

GAP, that article was from 13 Oct, 4 days after the blast. The next day the US revised their statement and said that they had found some radioactivity, and eventually (On the 16th or so?) they confirmed that it was a nuclear test.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6056370.stm

It's best not to get too wrapped around the axle by it. Average Joe Civvy will never understand the true meaning of remembering the sacrifices made. A special day of rememberance prompts them to think about it, but for the most part they probably won't ever really 'get it'. I've got a poppy on...

Well, you can't quite give up that "Innocent until pr oven guilty" principle whenever you feel like it. I just wish the process was streamlined so that they can go from arrest to "here's the definite proof" to carrying out the sentence in less than a week instead of the circuitous route it takes...

FIRE IN THE HOLE! Edit: Just out of curiosity, where did you get that 650,000 figure? Iraqi Body Count is currently reporting just over 50,000. http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
