I was being sarcastic, but thanks TN21C. C & P: You're welcome to your opinion and I for one would like to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate your input and I only wish that you would put similar energy into completing enough of your profile so that I might take...

Ok, I was on the side of the fence that had an issue with the "camo" fad, but reading these posts has softened my stance somewhat. Yeah, I get annoyed at the para-military goth crowd; however, I see now that as stated above, imitation is a sincere form of flattery, so... And finally, I forgot my...

A couple of years ago I had an enlightening conversation with an engineer who was not enamoured with the MCDVs. Here were his views. He stated that the original design was supposed to be ~ 6-7m longer. Between the placement of the propellors and the reduced length of the hull, too much energy is...

Canadian soldiers used to be issued Rum, whatever happened to that eh?  ;D Huh? Care to explain that statement a bit? As for the use of stimulants/drugs to improve performance, I'm all for it. Euphoria meets invincibility; yeah, there's a solid combination that will lead to a successful...

This isn't the best plan I've heard today  ::) So many questions, some addressed above. Bottom line, I concur w/ Recce, I wouldn't be in a rush to board one. I can see the headlines now.

Navymich knows my views on the MCDV, but I'm softening my stance somewhat. I do feel that the design was flawed from the outset, but it still appears to be a robust, economical vehicle that meets certain roles well enough. Why can't we continue using the MCDV for "whatever" while acquiring...

Jesus MG  ;D

In regards to the IED that took out that squad, I appreciated how the Captain explained his reasoning for the decision that led to the use of the road. The Iraqi's who were accompanying the Marines had to bring their light trucks and they couldn't function in the sand, so after calling a trusted...

Are you certain that he meant disrespect? Maybe he doesn't agree with the trivializing of the military? Or maybe he just likes to argue for the sake of arguing to keep you on your toes  ;D

Watched it last night. In my limited opinion, I thought that it was well done. The commentary from the marines who worked with their Iraqi allies and their appreciation for their contribution was interesting. The fact that this wasn't a professional crew, but the home videos taken by the...

True, it isn't anyone's business but theirs. And uh, if you're against equality (and you are) then you're against an individuals right to fair and equal participation in society. "Elite?" I'd go along with "National." But you've focused on their status as the "first" police force (which I'll...

Wow, I've seen some crass things in my time. The timing would be amusing, if it wasn't for the... 'er, timing. I don't understand why such people justify themselves by speaking for "all of us?" I don't recall being asked frankly. But since he wrote an editorial of such quality, I'm afraid it's...

Combining operations with the CG/RCMP seems to be the best place to start. I like the notion of such cooperation. Everyone should sit down, identify the needs and then present their list of toys. See what we come up with. I also like the idea of domestic innovations having an opportunity to...

You can pass if you turn you head the other way  ;D

Thanks Mich. I might have to look into this further. I'm using Rogers and I'm loathe to modify my plan as I have "per second" billing from way back. I'd prefer to continue enjoying that if I can.

I went to the movie last night with some good friends. Here's what happened. We left the theatre... and game on!  ::) The debate went downhill from there. We've all read the book and consider ourselves to be reasonably intelligent, i.e., I can tie my shoes without assistance, but this was...

Inserting a peacekeeping element between two opposing military forces is the purpose of UN peacekeepers and has traditionally garnered higher rates of success. When the UN decides to intervene in the internal civil matters of any nation it can quite easily become an imbroglio. The UN wasn't...

Is the DND corporate plan open to any CF member?

Bareback Mounties -  :rofl: Sounds about right to me. G'luck lads.
