As far as i'm concerned saved lives are more important than a written off tank.  Godspeed to all the tankers and other Canadian warriors over there in harm's way. :cdnsalute: :tank:

Give 'em hell guys :gunner:!  I'm rooting for you and praying for you, Godspeed. :cdnsalute:

One of the most beautiful fighter aircraft ever just got even more beautiful.

Typical case of some sectors of the Canadian press doing their best to undermine the CF for the sake of headlines.  Good news is no news seems to be their gospel.

God bless the unnamed heroes :cdnsalute:

I've always felt that Iran was the real threat in the region not Iraq, pity the Bush administration waited until they were bogged down in Iraq to find out ( I don't care who says i'm anti Bush).

Right now the latest releases for St. Kitts carnival.  We celebrate carnival from December to January 2nd.  You guys should check it out, great way to relieve stress after A'stan. ;)

Point taken geo but that experience should be a learning one, and like the other guys noted farming out some of the work makes more sense in terms of attracting potential buyers and creating opportunities for Canadian engineers overseas (consultancy etc.). P.S. Interesting point about the...

Unfortunately it seems that the old attitude in Canada that the military is nothing more than an irrelevant afterthought is still alive and well, despite the heroic actions of our men and women at home and abroad.

The part of the article that upsets me the most is the line about political staff complaining that the money Harper has spent on the military has been rewarded with little 'political sizzle.  How stupid can one get, the military is not a vote winning machine it is a war winning machine.  How do...

Well the obvious wisdom (sarcasm) of Blair's decision to cut the size of HM Armed Forces even while deploying them on more operations becomes ever more obvious by the day.

I've regained my speech and I totally agree with shaming and naming those c*&%s. >:(

I too find the idea intriguing Ex-Dragoon, would like to hear it in greater detail.

I am speechless, utterly speechless.

Well i'll be honest it's ugly as f@#$, but as long as it works and it helps our boys shoot down Iranians, Ruskies or whoever then i'm all for it.
