After watching this spiral into name calling, and against my better judgement, I am going to wade into this debate.  Just once.  Call me names. Firearms owners should be licensed in my opinion, because in the hands of the wrong person, firearms can be very devastating and dangerous.  I...

The whole mobility argument irritates me.  If we want our military to be truly mobile, then bring back cheap PMQs with the same price everywhere, and base schools with a common curriculum across Canada.    Then there is NO excuse for not being mobile.  Until that happens, you will see...

Maybe they'll ask to bring the "The" back as a nod to the good old days....just like pips and crowns.

Hideous....truly awful.  And a stupid waste of money in my opinion.  On a barely tangentially related note....The Canadian Women's rugby 7s team beat the Aussie women twice last weekend at the USA sevens on the way to take second place in the tournament.

I'm with Journeyman on this one.... emasculated.... Much has changed in my time, though not always as a negative.

No meal gets better than this... Camping expresso maker + immortal milk (chocolate preferrable) = Afghan Cafe au lait And then add an MRE  brownie :)...

Thus spoke the "Drill God"

Yes.  The last three paragraphs are not a great prognosis for the short to mid term situation in Afghanistan and the tribal areas.  Not unrealistic though either in my opinion.

A very interesting article in STRATFOR titled Pakistan:The Coming Conflict in North Waziristan

Listening to F u cked Up - No Pasaran This is real punk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFEEtIOtGU

My son just quit a "punk"  band because they thought Blink 182 was punk.... its not... :)

Let me check my pile of "stuff".... one on my mess kit, but i might have another nice one picked up in the UK about 16 years ago....

Really?  No mukluks?  How is that possible?  And winter jackets?  C'mon, we have enough jackets in the system and throw a civvy down fill under anything we own and  you are good for minus infinity. The old mukluks were awesome and have been for ever (i'm dating myself with 30 years service and...

Just finished The Heart Of A Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov, a satirical look by a Russian author in 1925 about creating "the new Soviet man".  Funny, biting, angry and very daring given the time frame in which he was writing.  First published in 1968 outside the Soviet Union and apparently first...

Having finished The Dogs Are Eating Them Now, I believe that any professional who feels strongly about our time in Afghanistan should give this book a read. I believe part of being a professional should include being widely read, whether you agree with the subject matter or not. On my first...

Don't make me dig mine out......

Not my fav, but giving The Money Store by Death Grips a listen at the insistence of my oldest....Kind of his generation's Rage Against The Machine.  Best described as a hip hop - punk  fusion I think. 

Entirely possible.  I sometimes get the feeling that some Canadians, and their politicians, would rather have no jobs, if the option was to have energy industry, or industry spin off, jobs.  Too busy dithering and pandering to special interest groups as you have stated.  We may become...

Sheer genius...this should be a new competition
