The monkey quote was not my insult. It was an insult from a Directing Staff member of Millnet.ca who had heard it from the German's teaching them about Leo 2's. I just carried it not added it. In terms of WW2 I was referring to the gross tactics that were used to take out German Tiger tanks in...

Some people aren't interested in a 10k a year job with training that is what you will do basically the whole time. Whereas in the Canadian Military people can be an Infantry soldier trained to parachute, drive a LAV3, manage a radio, and use the mortar. In the U.S. military you can sign up as a...

Hey, thanks for the reply. So I am guessing the tanks aren't leaving LdSH anytime soon. Yes, in WW2 that was a common situation because tankers ignored the capabilities of their vehicles and didn't have fire extinguishing systems in their tanks. The sherman tank was a horrible tank to be in but...

They should print everyone's religion on ID cards too so that way they know if they are wearing a Burqa illegally or not.

+1 Seriously, Rifleman62 there are hundreds of incidents since the 1900's of terrorism and you pick a few. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_1970 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_1971...

Nice one....not.

I am too tall to be a driver for the Leopard 2 would this affect my chances of ever being in a Leopard? That's what I would rather be doing than an armoured recce vehicle(truck). I would be fine even with the Coyote but the TAPV is just a truck from what I have seen on the candidates page...

Says the guy who thinks he's going to be blown up every time he sees a Middle Eastern person.

So on a daily basis when you see a Middle Eastern person you pray they don't blow up, when you see an african american person you assume they can play basketball, when you see a redneck you assume they have a shot gun and when you see an asian person you assume they can tell you what 11.267...

Wow, what a load of propaganda no wonder the average Russian considers the U.S. their enemy in interviews. Why don't we get news like this? :P "Russian nuclear sub found 1000km from Canada!" "Russian speaking man found in Nunavut! Clearly a top secret spy!"

This reminds me of the "Cobra Vortex"  ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxmUuR8yn0c&feature=related

I believe it has command, recovery and medical versions as well. Not to mention the gun can be changed for different anti-tank capabilities (30mm, 40mm, 105mm, 120mm). The only bad thing I have noticed about it vs. the Puma is the engine of the CV90 does half the distance and half the power of...

I didn't know they were looking at wheeled variants since I thought the entire program was made so that IFV's could support Main Battle tanks at the same speed as a MBT and over the same terrain (since the LAV 3 fleet according to project cannot go over rough terrain well enough to keep up with...

You mean armoured soldiers will be using a truck (TAPV) for recce instead of the Coyote?  :o :o :o :o :o While, the British will be using the CV90 with a different gun for recce? http://www.casr.ca/doc-news-cv90-demonstrator.htm If TAPV is a Truck or Car and most armoured soldiers begin...

Jeez, if they were going to put a hold on this purchase then what were all those reserve "cuts" for? By the way does the Puma/CV90/Marder only replace Infantry soldier's LAV III or does it also replace the Coyote? (Yes, I know Coyote is surveillance and the other vehicles are troop carriers but...

That would increase the cost of a Pakistani AK-47 from $50 USD to $55 USD!!! Seriously, just because U.S. official policy says one thing doesn't mean it's what they actually do. They don't want religion in other countries but American currency is in other countries with "In God we Trust" (ok I...

He's not that far off the bat about the company. If you look up information about them and watch the news broadcast you'll see the owner (who is not dead) was the one who came up with the inscriptions and was a very devout christian. Fundamentalism isn't the right word but it's definitely more...

Damn, you beat me to the punch of posting this story. But I agree that people in the military might not actually care if the sights do their job. I would have never known that these were on the sights unless I had memorized the Bible or seen this news broadcast. The people that are most...

How many/much Reserve qualifications/experience do you need to skip Regular BMQ if you are CTing and changing occupations? I have heard stories of Reservists having to do Reserve BMQ and Regular BMQ when they CTed.

Are you serious? Religous/Racial/Age profiling is shooting yourself in the foot. Especially as a country with security concerns. What about the U.S. terrorist attack by white muslims? What about the rising white terrorists in the U.K...
