that looks like guys getting ready to do battle on The Rat Patrol. Yes i am old

Just my opinion and nothing more. The LAV family, the AVGP family and the M113 family are good vehicles until you try and shoehorn every possible variant out of the same box. In the civilian world, they make a fleet of trucks and each truck does one job. Lets use the a fire truck as an...

Corporal to General, that is a big career move. almost seems like a walter claim to fame

please tell us how you really feel about this highly promoted officer

Been out of the infantry for longer than I care to admit and what does a private really know or understand about life on the battlefield besides he or she is going to be the body trying to stop the enemy advance or be the advancing force upon the enemy? I personally think every NATO Army...

If we forget the present ways of thinking and think like 1940s persons. The Second World War had been waging in some place for almost 8 years in places. Japan and China had been fighting since 07 July 1937. Various sources China reporting over 20 million dead, Japan 1.1 to 1.9 million troops...

2 Cats were on the move along the 417 eastbound, caught them on haulers just west of Ottawa around noon today.

I remember a story of the Base Commander of Petawawa involved in a moose hunting incident. Helicopters, and other DND equipment used. late 80s I think. Maybe some one here has more information that can be shared

Tanks cannot do every thing that is required on the battlefield. They need to have support and specialized vehicles that can keep up and fight with the tanks, but not as a tank on tank killer. I think they are trying to make the tank crew be the anti air craft crew, the anti tank crew, and the...

I was hoping some warm bodies would show up and fill the crowd out, this is a big thing for a small town to be the National background for Remembrance commercial, and this town is short on vets and current serving members. I was not looking for legion bashing , save that for next week

Incase anyone is in the area and wants to show up for a Remembrance Day commercial check it out

Does not matter what they want or would like to purchase. It will come down to optics and the eye of the public. One of the main reasons we as Canadians did not get the tracked vehicles in the 1970s was the fact that the FLQ incident was fresh in the minds of the CF and the political masters in...

I did some more research and the Goodhue County gave their deputies a pay raise, to a base level of $32.51 up $5 a hour. The Patrol Deputy position is compensated at salary grade 112 of the Goodhue County pay scale. Base patrol pay $32.51-$50.38/hr ($67,613- $104,800 annually) as well as $950...

Canadian governments are masters of playing darts, they throw darts at the board and if the dart sticks they decide that is the project they are going to work on. But every government project takes longer than the government is in power for and the new government throws a new dart at the...

Maybe it is time to go back in time where you purchased your own equipment for your military duties, instead buying your own side arm and sword, you buy your own IFV or tank and bring it to work when required? No one agrees what is the best or the worse. Top lists or videos, cannot decide. M1A...

also keep in mind the price of a new car, or truck, credit card debt, or the price of gas is very similar in a big city as it is in a smaller city. Yes house prices might be different, food prices are close to the same. I lived in a small city in Iowa, prices for gas, food were the same. House...

I lived in Iowa about 4 hours drive this community so I am guessing it is was the same sort of policing I was use to when I lived in Iowa. Smaller towns in Iowa and surrounding States do not pay well for police services. The town I lived in ( they called it a city ) I would call it an over...
