Knowing the Doctor/MP for a number of years and having read his article through twice I disagree. His so called cherry picking of facts is based on an expert opinion of someone who has been there and done that. Again going on memory I think he was Medicine Sans Frontier a couple of times in the...

You mean something like this: "I. THE REALITY OF THE MILITARY SEXUAL SLAVERY ISSUE Military sexual slavery by Japan, which occurred during 1932-1945, was not simply the incidental raping of women by occupying soldiers, as has often accompanied war in the world. It was a deliberate, long-term...

If you enjoying reading and can stand some dry text try Stacey, C. P. Official History of the Canadian Army in the Second World War, vol. 1:. Six Years of War: The Army in Canada, Britain and the Pacific Once the Directorate of History and Hertiage comes back on line you can read some of the...

geo, that is why I tossed the reference of Williams Lake into this. The whole reserve went dry and got their act together. Again memory I think it was a three year task. Having said that nobody is perfect especially with addictions but they tackled the issues as a whole and insured the necessary...

Just reinforcing in case kincanucks could either not hear us or forgot his history lessons. ;D

Sorry I beg to differ. Until some idiotic chages were made in TOE the infantry handled the motars just fine. Hang on whie I wave my hands to a couple of those more familier with this. I'd shout at them but they are a little hard of hearing.

CDN, you might want to link the "Bear Claws Back" thread with this. I have been attempting to keep this air related and the other navy related but I would not object to a single mega thread. And yes given some of the articles and Putin's views, and his reputed successors( yes I know Russia is...

Anyone remember the Rena Virk case ? I was just getting into teaching when that occurred and was in a school adjacent to the school involved. I throw this out as the case has made it's way through the system and through the media. The immediate impact in the school system was a lot of soul...

Quite frankly I am a bit put out.  :(  Since imitation is one of the sincerest forms of flattery how come all those loud taking types whose trade is the big brother to the mortar have not posted pic's. Or are their barrels to dainty.  ;D

hence my interest in "under Spainish protection". As for playing the devil, is that not what this site is about, too many sheep in the world already.

UCModFloppy, you may also want to have one of your military alumni types get in touch with the various regimental archivists at the Museum of the Regiments here in Calgary. They have access to all sorts of "goodies".

Judging from what I have seen my students come up and some other school's students come up off the internet for either class assignments or Remembrance Day projects it is already out there. Try a google search of "Canadian troops, Afghanistan" in both text and image functions it is all there. Or...

Geo, I thought it was interesting and I imagine more will being forth coming. Some of the language/word choice was interesting. This may just be the usual problems with translation. For example "under Spanish protection" lends to all sorts of interpretations. You have brought up some other...

Vern, three does just not cut it when your daughter has your last name and raids your closet for ODs so she is styling for exercises. It is also amazing that said "borrowed' items for the weekend, week long, and summer long camp never make it back into your closet for your own use on...

Thank you for the more in depth explanation. In part because there are quite a few of these programs popping up unfortunately it is sometimes hard to keep track of which is what. Also as you mentioned there sometimes is ulterior motives involved other than the genuine intent to help. Glad to see...

What is NAAP ?

My apoligies to the mods but I could not take this serious enough but to sit it here. "..............Only 26 percent of Canadians were in favour of stretching the mission deadline past then, "if that is necessary to complete our goals there." As a result of this -- and in a vain attempt to...
