    Just food for thought about flying retired aircraft

    Canadian Warplane Heritage out of Hamilton does non-jet stuff ... I suspect the lack of flyable jet aircraft has a lot to do with getting jet qualified technicians and pilots to work for free ...  As much as I like this stuff, I'd rather not see limited taxpayer-funded budgets being spent on...

    Mission Editor

    Any way of "selling" my mission allocations? Not being in the military, I have no realistic mission ideas.

    Feature Requests

    More a query than a feature request What Is the distribution of the insurgency depletion value? (I'm assuming its equal i.e. 25% 1 25% 2 etc.) and is it modified by anything?

    Challenger/"VIP" Jet/CF Chopper Use (CDS, others) [merged]

    which would serve the purpose even better ... Perhaps I've watched "The House of Cards" trilogy too often.

    Challenger/"VIP" Jet/CF Chopper Use (CDS, others) [merged]

    I thought pretty much about the same thing as in "this would be a convenient way to get rid of a CDS"

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Just speculating ... but are there any possible synergies with the "honken huge" ships that are needed for the Central Baffin Project (Iron Mine in Central Baffin) for ore haulage .. Could there be a common design for at least some elements ?

    The National War Memorial and the Afghan Mission (and Boer War too)

    And the WWII and Korean War Dates didn't go on until the 1980s. 1982 to be precise ... so 37 and 29 years after.

    Canadian Kangaroos bound for glory

    I've got a pedantic point ... engineering units don't get battle honours so how can they perpetuate battle honours of an antecedent regiment ? Do the Kangaroo honours not just get lost in ubiquity of it all I do admit that a engineering unit does seem the most appropriate unit of those current...

    Nik on the Numbers Sept 12, 2011

    I Think the most interesting aspect is the ~22% party undecided and ~26% leader undecided . Not sure if this is in line with historical trends but it seems significantly higher than usual and certainly enough to swing an election in any case.

    Currie as Field Marshal?

    Well if Haig was replaced by Currie (as has been postulated by a few historians), Currie pretty much would have had to been promoted to Field Marshal because of the optics (Can't be replacing a Field Marshal with a mere General).  Perhaps 6 months is too short of a time frame ...

    Currie as Field Marshal?

    Not Canadian Army Field Marshal ? {nitpickers note below} (yes I know that rank doesn't exist anymore nor has there ever been a Canadian Field Marshal or even if it ever theoretically existed .... Currie may have gotten it had WWI lasted 6 months longer)

    Discussing Military Quotes.

    I've often wondered if Churchill was deliberately referencing Henry V  {by William Shakespeare or someone else of the same name} " ... We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;     For he to-day that sheds his blood with me     Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,     This day shall...
