    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Your examples are armed conflicts. The cartels have not engaged in armed conflict against the US. You are moralizing extrajudicial murder as a tool of law enforcement.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    No. You can’t demand accountability from someone who you have not given the authorities to manage the issue. Most base commanders don’t even have a direct line of communication to Ottawa - there is at least an L2 HQ in between (and in some cases an L3 HQ too). Base Commanders may be doing all...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    I guess “innocent until proven guilty” is just a slogan to suppress conversation about in-group members accused of something, but it’s nothing at all when it comes to killing strangers in distant lands?

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    No idea how long current reporting & accountability lines have been in place.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    In Canada, the MFRCs report to Ottawa and base commander’s have little to no authority over them.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Does this mean Trump’s war has started?

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I am not arguing that we should. Only that it is false to say that we cannot.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Alternately, DND set-up its own governance & oversight system to operate and administer a daycare system completely outside regulation by the provinces (and the provinces don't get a vote). There was daycare, public school, and healthcare administered by DND for CAF dependants in the CFE days...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Is that a requirement or a choice? There is a lot if provincial legislation and regulation that the department chooses to follow but is not obliged to follow.

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Yes. Back to what we were doing last decade. At a branch school for most occupations. Div TC for Infantry. Haven't ever seen that term. There was "TQ3" that became "QL3" which became "DP1" and is now "RQ Pte"

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    I think there is more than semantics distinguishing between an uncommitted force that exists in some state of readiness before a crisis and a force that is created from nothing once the crisis has commenced. You think we have enough reserves to create a corps of just reserve units? Support is...

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    There are some who would like to change the legislation; to have part-time regular force and continuing full-time reserve force. I don't see any institutional value in this, but it will appease some who want full time employment and the identity of being a reservist. We don't need continuing...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Don’t be surprised. He has already argued that any wrong a Republican might do is already justified by something a Democrat has done. He will justify anything if it is done by the right side of the political compass and be outraged by nothing if it happens on the left of the political compass.

    The Canada Pension Plan is a barrier to separatist ambitions, so closet separatists will act to remove it.

    Actually, the first bracket was 15 to 44. The word “younger” was not used in any bracket description, and I don’t know that a group that includes 40+ year olds is accurately described as “younger “.

    44 is “younger”?

    Army Reserve Restructuring

    Well, we have already committed the Primary Reserve extensively to continuing fulltime employment (making very difficult to mobilize what has been left behind), and there is no intention to ever mobilize Rangers nor CIC for international operations.
