Article I read today about MP Boris Wrzesnewskyj basically has him retracting his former comments... and a leading Liberal critic plans to discuss his comments with him at the soonest opportunity... 

+1; too true!

Have to agree, heavy points towards US origin for good teeth.  I know for sure that I dont recall seeing many Canadian pilots or ground crew who looked like THAT.

So were the Ton-Ton Macoute, the KGB, and a ton of other government-controlled agencies all around the world.  Because their own government granted them existence and legitimacy, they cant be regarded as 'terrorists' despite their commonly using 'terrorist tactics'.  Otherwise, the 'grey'...

From the article: [[[ "An act is labelled terrorism "if it is intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act." From Kofi...

Speaking of mistakes with food, guys from the US you may not have heard of this one... we used to get our IMPs (Individual, Meals, Prepared?) with white solid heat tabs so we could warm them up while we were in the trenches (or wherever).  Being Canada, the heat tabs had to be labelled in both...

Its YOUR life - not your girlfriend's. Its YOUR decision - not your girlfirend's. Its YOUR misery if you listen to HER for the rest of your life... If she wants to change you and direct your life now, and you are not even married yet, that is one heck of a bad sign!

:brickwall:  I read that this morning - it is such a stupid suggestion that I have lost the ability to formulate a logical reply, everything just comes out with censored expletives.   Will have to wait until 'shock and awe' have subsided a bit... (Edit - hey now! I had 10 x headbangers on...

That is exactly it - there are solutions, but they are so horrific to the general public that anyone advocating such extreme measuers would be vilified. After all, every junkie is someone's son / daughter / mother / father / brother / sister.  What annoys me is that those who cry the loudest...

There is something about bacon isnt there? No matter if its hot or cold, its always tasty.  Must be our ancestral hunter genes!

Great paper, thanks for the heads up!  Good info for adding to my course on cultural conflict...

Now back to bad box lunches... would the old C-Rats count?  I still recall getting handed one of those back in 1986 on a winter exercise.  Cold can of SPAM. Cold can of beans. Cold can of bacon coated in lard. Cant remember what else was in there other than a can opener. Horrible stuff...

Definately a question for philosphers... "What say you to a piece of beef and mustard?" (William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew)

Actually its the parents and siblings who dont understand...and yes they do envy that pension!  ;D

I joined up, did my 20, got my pension, and my family still thinks I was crazy to join.  They were proud that I served, but still don't understand why I enjoyed it...  ::)

Kudos on the slogan, very amusing.  ;D Have you got a means for receiving funds and mailing out?  Am interested in a few myself but would like to know where to send the cash...

You may have scooted out from that one, but paracowboy has still nailed your butt to the wall.  You have no understanding of militaristic nationalism if you think you can equate Nazis and WWII Japan with the current USA.  And I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say you may not have meant to...

My 2 cents: I am all for the rights of soldiers to be proud of their jobs, show what they are doing, provide insight to the rest of the country, show the 'I was there photos'...  we shouldnt be afraid of showing what the job is about.  I will disagree with the comments on OPSEC over tactics...

To refine a bit further, these are the definitions I worked with when defining the subject for LEA officers I worked with, based on explosive/non-explosive, trigger, lethality, and purpose.  Improvised Explosive Device - explosive device modified from its original form or created from...

In other words, every single soldier shot deserved it? Everyone one of them was a coward and a deserter? Wasnt that was the point of the whole review of the proceedings from then, the realization that not every soldier was guilty of cowardice and desertion?  And how does 'execution' equate to...
