Good post PBI (as usual). However I think your looking at it to black/white. Religion (and lack there of) or "morals" play apart in everyones lives and help them make decisions. No contest there. There is no way to ban such things. However it is naive to say that each religion or ideology is...

Agreed. The article is far to black and white and over stated. Which is what I was pointing out. As for the those issues you are talking about Mainer. I agree totally. What I would question on this is, Is it the media's fault for printing only the "Bad, sensational" things? The Military's...

Sorry. Mis-read. "smack" :salute:

Are you not making the case for "all arms" type units? The idea of Cavarly being bantered around here would fit this quite well. So is someone suggesting we take the turret off and make them into modern day kangaroo's?

Good ideas... I agree that we still need our MBT's and that alot of what is being chatted about as new, is actually old. Its just how the info is being exchanged is new. People will always be required. With what is being said here with tube launched missiles, etc. And with Majoor's ideas of...

This conversation is probably better suited to your new thread on future armoured vehicles Majoor. But I see your point. However the vehicle in the pictures seems to me to NOT have any of the requirements such as 360 fire arc and ability to fire high and/or low? I guess it has yet to be...

It was always in the requirements. At least at first. If you cannot fire on the move, then you may as well go back to WWII tech. Its a rather important feature for any mobile gun system (tanks and otherwise), so that you do not become a stationary target yourself. We all know this. However...

Well that was some spun story there. Its amazing how many people and levels of government can be attacked in one article. Raving? Or journalism? You decide.

Confused. Neither of these are "alternative" energies. There just regular 'ol oil tied up in a different medium. So with the price of a barrel of oil climbing rapidly towards 60 dollars, how is that going to affact the whole security issue? Should we and the States be looking at things like...

Oh man... Ok, here we go. Since when is secular and non-religion considered Left wing? Was Hitler left wing? I think not. There are many cases of left wing priests/ministers. Tommy Douglas for one. Sigh. Religion has no place in politics. However since most people have some kind of belief...

Just a note on Majoor's environmental article. All of those "improvements" to the environment that are claimed in that article would have taken place over many years. In other words. Its not Bush's policies that did it. Nor can you say it was even Clinton's. Environmental damage is very...

Thats what I thought. Now the question is, was LCol. Petit misquoted about the MGS? Considering that happens on a regular basis in the media. Or did he actually say that? Which calls into question he credibility as "director" of this program. Normally I would question the media source. But...

I didn't think these things had even come close to deployment yet? So how is he saying that the US is using them? Or is he just talking about the chassis? Now this is cause for concern. Extra maintence is something we cannot afford. Not to mention is the whole reason we're getting away from...

Ah Yani, Yani, Yani. If you take the time to read all of the posts and other threads on this topic, you will quickly learn that our government has taken us out of the Tank bunisness a long time ago. Regardless of the fact that we have had Tanks until just recently, we have not been in the...

Yaniv - Sigh, if only we could convince our government of the need to spend the money and it would fit with our operational outlook. Otherwise it is a fine set of vehicles that you guys have created. GW - I would guess your right in many cases. But I interpreted Majoor's OWS stations to be...

Ouch! Considering what a flash-bang does to the eardrum and the "stun" effect of its concussion, I can only imagine the possable damage one of these "tank" rounds would have on any close proximity crowds. And having them filled with rubber balls similar to riot bullets but at a higher velocity...

There are problems with the strykers and LAV III's. Fact. There have been role overs in the Canadian LAV III's that have seriously injured their crews. Fact. The LAV III is what we are getting. Fact. The LAV III is better then the Grizzily. Fact. The LAV III offers more protection then the...

Thanks TCBF. Actually since the gun laws are not/have not changed, I do hope you are able to take your FN's to the range to "have some fun". In fact I remember fondly my first military (cadet) range firing the FN. It blew me back about 2 feet prone. Man, what a time. As for the lack of...

Agreed. I've said my peace. The agreement is to disagree (Although I would like to hear from Infanteer. ;D). Except on the original question. The registry should be shut down. Waste of money. Thanks

Funny? Sounds like you are? Ah well. You are right to a point. The fact that they give money out without accountability is what is wrong. So the intention is fine, but the application is all wrong. Easier said then done of course, but if your going to try to help people there has to be a...
