So what happens to the 2 Generals now? Career halted, I did not see either one becoming CDS. But the court cases sure ruin a public sector job. Retirement ? New positions for LGen and MGen are hard to come by, give back their old positions then what happens to those Generals? Forced...

This is how the average Canadian thinks and does not want to change the status. Who in the right wants to invade Canada? Option 1 is Russia, but they have to go thru Alaska to get to Canada, or over the pole and down thru Canada's Arctic. Solution is and always has been since the 1950s is...

No NATO country has fought the Russian army directly. We cannot really compare First World War and Post War action to todays war, using modern weapons, electronics, and other equipment. We have a modern trained army and since 1950 it has only seen direct action 3x , Korea, Medak Pocket, and...

Movement by train is an easy thing to stop, but they can repair the damage quickly and get back on the rails quickly. To kill a modern day railroad ( only know North American roads well enough to comment ) it is hard because of the inhouse construction teams and planning. Since the railroads...

Base Toronto was a complete imaginary place, even people who lived across the street, did not know there was a base there. So I could have imaginary friends too. Summer camp at Meaford was more strict.

I do not think your victory lap would be a week or 2. "If V Corps was fighting the war, it would have been over, a week or two after the start. Simply because the US Military can exert a level of firepower and coordination that no other force on the planet can, and wouldn’t need to fight like...

I asked this question months ago on another post on this site. NATO is teaching the Ukrainian forces how to fight the Russian forces and the Ukrainian forces are having some success. Now it is because of they are using NATO doctrine or because they are using a blend of NATO training and a blend...

If DND had go and license every person doing a trade from doctors to nurses, to accountants, to mechanics to engineers according to every provincial standards posting a person would be a nightmare. Lawyers need to members of the bar ( only guessing here) due to the fact they might to have...

You would think as a full Colonel and Base Commander, you would be 100x more careful in how you did things off base. You can arrange range days fairly easy, you can get paid to shoot things on a Base range, you are trained to use firearms in a safe manner. If this was some enlisted man we would...

Every uniform person could be " a watcher" every 11 November, everyone is looking to find the walts on parade.

Now cuts with this 1 Billion dollars, and just my guesses. Tank rebuilds and upgrades, cancelled LAV upgrades and other IFV will be delayed. No extra units to be built,. Replacement parts will be used for operationally required vehicles only, delays fixing equipment not required for...

I am a train guy. It is like every other hobby out there it has it over the top personalities just like we have here in the military world. Some of the guys can tell the locomotive coming towards them by the sound of the horn, the vibrations in the ground, others will know it by number, have...

Biggest problem with Canada and military purchases , Canada does not buy new equipment every year, every decade or even every generation. How does an in country industry survive from 1 generation to the next if there is no interest in new equipment, how does the company keep up to date on the...

The liberal spin will that bring this man to the house on the hill helped Poland kick their investigation into high gear. Poland announces request for extradition orders. Applauses were premature congratuling themselves for this great plan they came up with. In actuality some staffers should...

de Haviland Canada was sold off to Viking Air of Victoria, they purchased the rights to the Chipmunk, the Beaver, the Otter, Caribou, Buffalo, Twin Otter and the Dash 7, Dash 8 models. They are not building new designs or designing new aircraft, they are building from older designs. Only new...

I am speechless, but does anyone really think a 98 year old man would take up arms and fight in this day and age? No one did a background check, or security check, just bring anyone in claiming to be a vet and give acknowledgement to for his or her service? Reminds me of a war crime...

The Canadair Sabre is a jet fighter aircraft built by Canadair under licence from North American Aviation. A variant of the North American F-86 Sabre, it was produced until 1958 and used primarily by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) until replaced with the Canadair CF-104 in 1962. Several...

Do not worry Bombardier would of ended up rebuilding the Arrow and ruining everything about it in no time. Canadian companies build and design great products but no internal market, and the international market unless it is manufactured in the US , for the most part it is gone. Canadian...

I am colour blind, so I went thru some of this stuff. The Medical Officer is not looking at the condition for today or this week, or next week or next month or next year. They are looking at your condition could progress in 1 to 10 years or longer. You could be deployed in that time period and...

Everyone thought this aircraft the end all be all. It was a great aircraft for its time and limited testing done before it was chopped up. Anyone who thinks this aircraft would still be flying and still keeping up with the aircraft of today or yesterday has to seriously think about going back...
