    Red/ Green/ White Poppies- Does The Colour Matter?- Merged

    Without glorifying war, we are mature enough to understand that conflict, whether it is between family members, groups, countries, cultures, religions, etc... is part of the human experience. We can wish it went away, denounce it, hate it, work to prevent it, but we cannot afford to be...

    How do we treat our VETS ?

    I also agree, and I grew up in a partly separatist family, in a mostly separatist region. Québec, as a province and as a people, has it's issues, but I am not willing to wash dirty laundry here. Looks like some reasonable people are making use of common sense here... are we going to debate the...

    How do we treat our VETS ?

    Well said... if the same incident happened (a hospital orderly treating a Veteran, or any other terminal patient, with disrespect) but without the language angle, the media would not have picked it up and George would not care. Just like nobody (that includes George) cared when my wife and I...

    The brown Temperate Combat Boot (AKA: Mk IV Cbt Boot) - No longer CADPAT

    Yes, we are going the way of the "Yanks"  ::)  and of the Brits; this will prevent us having black boots for woodland and tan boots for arid regions. The brown boot will be worn with both patterns.

    Swiss to vote on whether to abolish conscript army

    I'd be surprised if it passed; and for those who think the US is crazy about it's firearms, you're in for a surprise... shooting is a family pastime in Switzerland, often with 3 generations of men and service rifles together on the range, with their ladies enjoying a good shootout. All with...

    CH-148 Cyclone Progress

    Are you talking about requesting "effects" ? Things like that and mission command are concepts that surely make for great discussions at the staff college, but we are not good at implementing them in our everyday functions. Actually, I found that the ANA was better at mission command than us...

    Syria Superthread [merged]

    I find it ironic that a bunch of hippies in the US, who voted for Obama, woke up one morning and found themselves in favour of military action...  ;D

    Wearing Uniforms Post-Release/Retirement (merged)

    That reminds me of a story from a friend's wife who was working at the Petawawa CANEX video club in the late 80s/ early 90s: - Video store clerk: "Oh, you have a movie that is 2 days late..." - Customer: "Humm... do you know who I am" ? - "No..." - "I'm Mrs Major (husband's name)..." - Ok, but...

    Spoiled Rotten: Why do kids rule the roost?

    I'm already there;  one of my boys actually has a boy of his own now. I am not saying parents should say no to everything; but when they feel they should, they should do it and maintain the decision. Weathering the storms early will prevent future cyclones... unfortunately, a lot of parents are...

    Spoiled Rotten: Why do kids rule the roost?

    Parenting, like leadership, is not a popularity contest; parents need to learn to say no, and maintain their decision.

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Delays and cost changes are nothing new in aircraft development; the C-17 is a recent example: We were not involved in C-17 development, so it didn't matter to us, but the difficulties did happen.

    Wanted by CF: (as many as) 230 x 7.62mm MINIMIs

    That's speculation on the part of CASR; speculation on my part, looking at the numbers involved, this order may also involve the LIBs.

    Lorsqu'un peloton termine le PP-1 Inf, il est envoyé dans le bataillon qui a été déterminé comme ayant besoin de soldats. Malgré l'appartenance au même régiment, chaque bataillon a une culture qui le différencie des autres.
