We do know what kind of Army we want to be.  A multi-role net-centric multi-faceted technologically advanced adaptive diverse modern and flexible force.  ;D  

Growth potential is nil for tracks unless you make the surface area bigger or make the vehicle lighter. For wheels, tire inflation systems can lower tire pressures to create plenty of surface area.  Another feature are nitrogen struts, giving the ability to go gangsta, and raise up, away...

I think you've made their point.  You're bringing a 20 year old argument.  I know this has been done to death, and I am not suggesting that wheels are better.  All I am suggesting is that tracks being better than wheels isn't a hard fact anymore, and it's certainly not a safe assumption. ...

Seriously?  You want them doing low level, high speed bank shots with high explosives, at a target the size of your tool shed?  If they are coming that low, they might as well use guns. I do know the video you are talking about.  It is a pretty cool. 

Not even sure if that is possible.  Not saying that is a bad idea, but it goes against the intent of the project, which was to deliver a new capability.  If a new capability is not possible or not needed, then moving the money (if possible) to the LAV 6.0 could be beneficial.  It could be a...

"Canadian Army has told the government that it does not need or want the vehicles". I wonder what context that is in.  Is it that we don't need or want a CCV; or that we don't need or want the options that have been presented to us?  I see those as two very different things.

Websites are just like HQs.  Want to streamline your website?  Make another website!  Duh!

He he!

I agree, they are not, but I still believe higher education is anything above high school.  I say the real difference between skilled and learned are their actual usefulness for their moment in that person's life.  Maybe the article is on to something.  Perhaps "higher" education is not meant...

Maybe we can stop the shitflinging if we agree that a welder actually has a "higher education"; his paycheck is probably enough to win that argument.  Anything above and beyond high school is higher IMO, including a lot of things us dumbass army guys do. I know this has been mentioned before...

This seems like it should be a good thing for us.  This plays right along with the way we do business already.  We train for competency of operational tasks; education is a by-product, assuming instructors are given the leeway to go above and beyond. I we trained all of our soldiers in strict...

There is probably a significant amount of Muslims that adapt well to Canadian culture; they are what is called "whitewashed". Maybe we can get them to take a survey to determine how susceptible they are.

It makes sense to have a retest on the shuttle and the drag as these tests can be failed with a simple stumble.  The sand bag lift and sandbag walk/run provide more than ample time to recover, even if you fell flat on your face and needed time to stop the bleeding first. This one blows me...

From what I have heard, these (small and light) body types are the only ones that have difficulty with this part of the test; damn you Isaac Newton!  Even with an extreme light build, I believe that technique will go a long way.  She needs to lean back and get the feet pumping as fast as she...

This is true, but they don't necessarily have to come from there, and that is not the only way.  When it comes from the bottom it is a revolution, which we are witnessing. Unfortunately, and this can be said for pretty much any culture/society - to get anything to come from the top (without...

This wraps it up into a nice neat little package.  Makes sense to me!

There was a very good documentary on PBS, just the other day.  "Mohammad: Legacy of a Prophet"http://www.pbs.org/muhammad/index.shtml No doubt, Islam (and most other religions), have been distorted to their detriment, and all because of a small minority of "assholes". Ironic too, that the...

Yeah, that might be the longest one I've ever seen. I think George may even have converted by now. :)

NATO symbol or not.  If I am controlling a BG map, I am using a blue rectangle, squad size and whatever arm indicator/CS/higher HQ is appropriate.  If this is a coy map, then use whatever you want, even their first name if you're air force.  :) Whatever is decided, someone please tell the...
