Sure. Put me down for that. IMHO if you're contemplating gassing your citizens or neighbors you'd think twice if "the West" would knock out some of your regime assets. Oh, that might play up nicely for you on Al Jezeera or some other media outlets but chances are you've already mobilized...

Sounds like the best way to sustain the skills across the Corps and I'm sure morale as well. Thanks

And I would think that co-location of reserve units would undermine some of the PRes' capability when dispersed to maintain a footprint across Canada and provide local responses in emergencies.

Well, we could re-badge some RegF bns to affect the same change.... return QOR and the Black Watch to the ORBAT for example.

(Attempting to) revive the thread to find out what's the current status of the Leo 2 fleet WRT 2A4, 2A4M and 2A6M? Does the average Tank sqn contain a fairly random mix of the 3 variants? Do they concentrate the 6s in a single tp? Thanks

Well let's be proactive on this. Please have Ottawa cable them immediately to accept their unconditional surrender.

IMHO I have problems accepting the rogue commander theory: a dictator clinging to power after years of civil war adopts a laissez-faire attitude about WMDs held by commanders whose Intent can probably be summed up as "stay alive"? Commanders who could easily get it into their heads to manoeuvre...

Well clearly we need to open a dialogue with these "poor misunderstood" vandals.....  ...so how about they sit down face-to-face with each of the families who lost someone in Afghanistan so they can apologize to them personally, one family at a time.

pbi I was going to quote and comment on the finer points of your post but really I'd be endorsing line for line, so.. :goodpost:

Mmmm we could tell them they could be grateful... or perhaps they need us to deploy Celine Dion and Justin Bieber on a Friendship Tour to convince them?

If you've ever just looked at the Middle East and in frustration at the never-ending cycle of Isreali-Palestinian violence wondered "why the heck can't they just co-exist?" then you're already looking at the problem with the Melting Pot approach. Everyone wants it to be their pot and the other...

Hmmmm could we kill both sides and then rent the place out to the Palestinians?

Well honestly I can't give out cookies and gold stars for that. Canada and everybody else in the West created a special category for WMDs and spoke out against proliferation and their use very strongly... just luckily nobody was using them at the time. Without praising Obama but.... This is...

::) Well at least we can rest assured that the Soviet Union Russia has.

ERC, I think several nails hit on heads there. The lesson learned from keeping Saddam on the Xmas card list while he gassed enemies foreign and domestic is that a minor league despot using WMDs on your watch is a major pain in the legacy.

So do you think that that would be an easier sell and legitimately the West's problem if Assad was gassing people of a different ethnicity / religion...?

I'll go with... c.  All of the above
