Thanks BS (no pun intended ;D), it was a good read. As is most of the time, GW has in my opinion the clear sight over the situation. We are once again going back(still going I should say) to the pre-WWII ideas of the post WWI mounted rifles and "saving" money. Thus we are going to have to waste...

Oh man. Why do I see the signals of descending into a conversation that has happened but a few times on this board? In this case, I'm staying out of this one (for now  ;D). Must be a paraire boy. ;)

Well I'm glad I'm not the one in the middle of this brew ha ha (for once). But as someone once said of my ravings...    ...things are starting to not make much sense. Do you guys even remember what the argument/debate was started about? If so, then lets get it back on track. Whatever that...

Wow. Very nice. I like it. However Majoor. Do you see a realistic chance of Canada either affording this in either money or will? Even for the light side of things? I hope so myself...

Thats the whole point. The provinces did not want to lose their power base, nor their access to the taxes (ie. Saving their own jobs/skins). The whole idea of re-writing the constitution to reflect the whole urban idea would be to take away much of the provinces/federal power/tax bases and give...

Good reply Jimy I think I would agree with you on a need for change as far as a new deal under confederation. But I would extend that to federal, provincial, AND municipal. Since the vast majority of citizens are now in cities and this is growing every year, it would make sense to hand off a...

Thanks Majoor. I'll certainly look at doing that. I just do not have a clue as to how to do that. Although one thing I should look at doing (after far to many years) is joining the Armoured Association. My bad. That alone would probably give me the contacts in order to do so. Do you know how...

Thanks Rick. So that leaves us with LAV II (Bison and Coyote), LAV III, and of course the Leo that probably won't last very long either. Are we still keeping the Husky(AVGP)? We're supposedly getting the MGS (if it ever works, which I hope it doesn't), TUA, and of course that other thing...

Good reply Majoor. To add. Not everyone is going to be able to use biomass diesel. But if the majority of the 1st world changes over to some kind of alternative fuel source, it would not be long after before other nations follow and everyone is on the same playing field or close enough to it...

Either way, to combine advance technology (and be able to use it properly) with China's sheer superiority in numbers would be a very frightening thing for US and other western powers. Aegis or not that is...

So what your saying Brit is that Taiwan as a majority of citizens WANTS to re-join China if conditions are right (no communism)? Ok. I can see that, and understand to a point. Can the same be said about Tibet I wonder? And I wonder what the States would do if Taiwan began direct overtures to...

So if we want/have to keep it light, then what is wrong with having more then one chassis? Almost every military in the world worth spit has many different varieties of armoured vehicles with less population base and much less money. Why not us? Right now with the Leopard still working (??) we...

All this is interesting. But I still struggle with WHY they feel they need to own one little island in the first place? If it is because they did in the past? Then should we not expect them to want to have land all the way to Hungary? Should not the Italians feel they own most of Europe and much...

I agree. It is a great step in the right direction. It would be a wonderful alternative until the processes for making hydrogen as well as making even better batteries has improved to the point of being commercially viable. All baby steps in the right direction. Now I'm curious as to the energy...

There have been many "massacres" in many of the countries we have dealt with. But to ignore them for the purposes of making money and being "competitive" is wrong whatever way you choose to look at it. Although does it happen? Yes. Kyoto if handled properly would not make us less competitive...

Hmmm...      ...our Navy uses it? Ok. Did not know that. I only know that we were not allowed to use it in the Armoured Corp. Maybe they tried it. Don't know. All I know is that it packs a hell of a bigger punch.

I'm going to have to question you on 3,4, and 5. So your saying that we should sell to the highest bidder period without any other considerations period? Isn't that something akin to dealing with the devil without our eyes open? And as for Talisman in Sudan? So they should be allowed to go...

Done.

To further qualify that, it is the western ammo of the depleted uranium variety that fills that claim. Not all NATO countries allow the use such ammo (such as ourselves).

That because Alberta sells very little beyond raw materials and so does not wish to be limited or penalized in any fashion. Hurt the rest of the country? Yes. But who cares beyond the borders of your own power base eh? As for 80% trade with the US. Maybe we should diversify that some and not be...
