Along the lines of 'There is no such thing as a stupid question', what exactly does that mean? I never understand these MERX notices. Does it mean that we paid 643k for an audit of the F35 program, or am I way off?

I am not trying to sound like an internet tough guy or something similar, but I can't understand why people freak out about the BFT so much. Its by no means fun, but its not THAT bad. Usually it was a 3am bug out, BFT, rest of the morning off and sports afternoon. When I did them both on...

Just wow..

I was put far right, almost to the Tea Party but also answered for marriage equality and that I am an atheist. Agreed, though, that this is just a fun little thing and by no means a fair assessment. One thing I found interesting is that "Certain Obama" is left of the average Democrat, where...

You either trust your spouse or you don't. You shouldn't be worried about what others do, and if you don't trust him/her then why did you marry them?

Wait, removing what? Last I checked, no one is compensated for their meals in the field?

You will find no argument from me that the separation is the same. I completely agree with you there. My argument is that you advocate that if one has to pay they all do, but I do not see field and mess meals to be equal. Its apples and oranges.

You're right. Sometimes they get hayboxes. Once a day, usually, was my experience. So my question still stands. My 2x IMP meals and 1x haybox a day is the equivalent of professional cooks preparing a meal, and sitting down in a mess on a ship and eatting?

ugh this is gonna turn into another field troops vs garrison troops debate, I can feel it.. But I certainly hope you're not trying to compare living on a ship with living in the field? The separation is the same, but to compare troops paying for IMPs vs making sailors pay for well cooked meals...

On top of deciding which courses you're allowed to take in school. Why isn't the Federal government speaking out about this?

http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2012/08/20120812-144335.html More on link. So let's call this what it is: Fascism. They are implementing laws that allow the government to decide what language you speak in your own business.

Its the same as LARPing, though I am sure they don't see it that way. Though I agree that it is odd, I don't believe that anyone elses opinion of what is socially acceptable (within the law) should have any effect on what you find enjoyable...

I couldn't find a Russian Megathread, so decided to start one. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/7919113/Russia-approves-65-per-cent-defence-budget-increase.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/10386480 More on both links. I know there was an article not...

oh definitely. Though I remember this being the topic of another thread, so I won't derail this one, I will say that we are in total agreement on this.

Something I hadn't considered, tbh. Maybe we should demand that in any referendum that it is to be made clear that anyone who holds a Quebec passport after a 6 month grace period relinquishes any and all rights they would be afforded as a Canadian citizen? Seems like something that can be easily...
