    Yup I remember them Journeyman, come back from reforger, then it's of to the wash bay. The RQ has ordered pallets of paint. The "Maint O" is running around in a panic trying to get parts for the broken down vehicles. and the EME shop is working 24 hours hours a day trying to keep up with him...

    Libertarians

    Oh how soon the sheep will turn on the wolf. With a few stern sentences the PM has angered the herd. Not more than two years ago, these very same people stated that PM Harper's crap didn't smell. What happended? Two words "reality check" Anyone wanting a small government is living on the wrong...

    Beware starving Canadian Forces

    Yes but they get old very fast if you have to wait 20 years for new ones. A few new patch welds here and there and a new coat of paint doesn't make something new again. Even though the maintenance and upkeep on older antiquated equipment is astronomically expensive the government would rather...

    Beware starving Canadian Forces

    The underlying tone is for those of us who have served through successive governments (conservatives and Liberals) in the past have seen this type of pattern over and over again. This is nothing new, they promise us the sky and end up giving us the finger. This government is no different...

    Deconstructing "Progressive " thought

    The Baby boomers and every generation since then didn't have the privilege of living through a depression, so most don't know what the hell their talking about in terms of what to do now. They only have history to fall back on and sometimes history is not always the best measure in which to...

    Jack Granatstein on how Conservatives are treating the CF

    People like Granatstein have been doing that for the past fifty years and its allways fallen upon deaf ears. The Canadian public doesn't hold the same zeal as the Americans do for their military. We're more or less pocket pacific ts who would rather spend money on social programs rather than on...

    US Economy

    I hear and read allot of conjecture, animosity and back yard economists barking about how this would do that and that would cause this and how the sky is ready to fall on our heads. Who here has lived through an economic crisis of this magnitude who is under 79? Haven't found no one yet. If...

    Thank A Soldier - Facebook Cause

    Be carefull what you place in your profile it could come back and bite you in the behind later and may put you back in the unemployment line. http://www.dumblittleman.com/2009/02/make-sure-your-facebook-profile-doesnt.html As for thanking a soldier, I'm all for that, It seems that soldiers are...

    Let them fail!

    ya and I can just see how much it will cost you to repair that Alpha Romeo or Peugeot when it breaks down. I went form American made to Japanese in 2004 and I'm still having the same problems with my Japanese made van as I had with my American one, only this time its costing me more to repair...

    Let them fail!

    I don't think Ford or GM are going anywhere and there will always be a market for whether it be a GM Siverado, Ford F-150 or a Toyota Tundra. The Japanese market share are hurting right now right along with the big three. How much longer do you think they can go before they have their hands...

    Let them fail!

    Good read, but the only thing he did got wrong was that to allow the world market to correct itself as he suggests at this point we will end up in a fatal depression that will make the 30's look like childs play. I do agree with most of what he writes but I think its a bit to late, because we've...

    Let them fail!

    Good idea "kirkhill", my own sh** pile to park the POS pile of Honda rice beside, along with the POS buick thats still sitting in my driveway. Maybe I can recoupe some of the money I spent fixing these two POS by selling my horse poo.  ;D

    Let them fail!

    Seeing that my "Ricer" minivan hasn't lived up to all its lofty hype. I tried both American and Japanese and have been left with a thin wallet both times. I think i'll save my money and go Omish next time with a good horse and buggy. I hear you can get a bail of hay for about $3.00 and theres no...

    Canada's purchase of the Leopard 2 MBT

    You would have thought that with all those bright minds in Ottawa, they could have figured this out before hand, after all, all we had to do was ask our neighbours to the south for some insight from their experiences in Iraq with their armour. Isn't progress great George?  ;D

    Canada's purchase of the Leopard 2 MBT

    "Deja'Vu". I see nothing has changed with our ridiculous procurement process. Purchase the vehicle and then after we've driven them into the ground, some bureaucrat scratches their head and finally clues in that we have no parts to repair them. I would think that after 8 1/2years in...

    Ontario Lottery Corporation Strikes Out Again

    I guess you'll find out in about four to eight years... Couldn't be any worse than what the banks did to themselves.

    US Economy

    So true, but you would think that we would have got a clue by now... Seems the human race is destined to bring upon its own demise over and over again. If your a history buff, almost every great civilization was brought down by two undeniable factors, "greed & corruption" and theres no exception...

    US Economy

    When the government(s) gave the big banks that blank (welfare) check, welfare reform flew out the window, never to be seen again, for a very long time. I think both the Dems and Repubs know that who ever tries to open this particular Pandora's box is in for a very harsh lesson in reality...

    The Khadr Thread

    Lets face the facts. Theres no way we can successfully rehabilitate radicals. Whether we throw them in prison for fifty years or let them go and try to keep tabs on them, because eventually they are going to go back to doing the same thing, trying to kill us. You can't reason with these...
