Now if only we could get the people that matter, to listen to this today, we would be in much better shape for tomorrow. How many times have I heard when I was attached to my old reserve unit, "Sorry we have to cancel training for the next few months because we have to money, but hey lets go...

I think that "dollar" has been stretched about as far as it's going to go. Unless the government comes up with some real money and when I say real money I don't mean a few billion here and there, I mean some serious money, 20-30 billion, there is no way they can stretch the dollar anymore than...

Why does it take a committee to tell us what we already know. Starting in 1968, when Trudeau mania started, the forces went to the dogs. Now 40 years and 5 consecutive governments later the forces are in taters. It will take another few decades of big spending to get the forces, prior to were...

What really gets my goat is when people start saying "Oh I would have handled that differently, or why didn't someone do this or that". Rubbish! Every situation is different and unless we were there personally we haven't a clue. I'm just thankfull that a few people had the presence of mind to do...

Its obviuos someone hasn't learn't from past mistakes ??? I can see the headlines now. "American made military equipment falls into hands of terrorists groups in Iraq". Dumb!

Happy birthday all fellow RCR's, hope to see some of you (former & current) in Kingston this weekend at the reunion, to toast the regiment and toss a few cold ones back. Should be a good time for all. Also i'd like to wish a happy birthday to our RCD brothers. Pro Patria.

Its very apparent that the post cold war days have hamstrung NATO. Because even after almost 20 years since the end of the cold war, many of the former warsaw pact countries still have more kit than we do.  :-[ Go figure.

I've seen this happen a few times when I was in, actually worked for a WO who retired in Gagetown and he ended up waiting 3+ months for his pension. After an inquiry of "What the hell is going on" by him and his former CO, he found out that his file had been sitting in a file cabinet of the...

Here's a few question for you aspiring journalists out there on this "bias" theory and what your bias would be towards any of these scenarios "What if, these terrorists were to bring this war to our backyard? What if toronto, Edmonton, Montreal or Vancouver were targetted? Would you still have...

Bureaucrats "nil" Mr. Murray +1. Wait a go old chap!! Big fat foot in mouth looks good on them for a change! Wankers!

Oh, well the way I see it, the beer will still be cold in germany next summer and mother-in-law will be just as controlling as ever ;D Ach mein boor kleines Töchterchen, lebt sie so weiter Weg von ihrer Mama! ;)

I hear ya. I go the dirty end of the stick by being the drunk bus duty driver for a few of these mess dinners in germany and having to clean up after these clowns. The pilots were the worse, couldn't seem to hold their booze in a moving vehicle. Working mess dinners was not to bad, by the end...

"WOW" that boy has balls!! He should get the VC.

De-ja-vous. Seems the British military is going through its own form of the "decade of darkness".

Good one Geo, I laughed so hard I almost wet myself!! I could just vision the poster of a jackass with its tail up and its behind facing out with Laytons head popping out of you no where ;D. HEE HAWWW ;D

I've said from the start that these "extremists" must be held to another standard, they don't recognize any other authority, legal or otherwise but in their misguided Jihad beliefs. This in itself places them in a category all to itself. So I believe that we should also have a special place for...

Carefull now Axeman, you could have the anti-gun panzies at your doorstep next.  ;) That's not a bad idea, then I wonder what they would say to save face. Wankers! Look at it this way, these people have nothing better to do but waste our money by siting in their little insignificant offices...

I have a flag flying in my backyard of my rental housing complex in London ontario and i have never been asked to take it down. Its been up since our men and women went to Afghanistan and its staying up until they all come home. Stick to your guns Mr. Murray and don't let a few malcontents...

The misses and I are taking the offer and travelling to PEI to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary on the 19 July, we picked up our tickets last week. Great offer, to good to pass up! With this offer we now have more money to spend. Originally we planned to take a trip to germany to see her...

it will be a day to celebrate when the oil runs out and these clowns become just as poor as the rest of us. This sounds like in the middle ages when the royals and the lords became filthy rich of the back of the pheasants. Got to love capitalism. Anyway heres some of the latest wind fall pay...
