Just a random curiosity. Do Canadian Police Forces tend to Recruit the Officers (as in inspectors and up) separate, like CF system, or are they all/mostly promoted up from the NCO ranks?

And the waitress would be bored of you talking about your game of darts from 20 years ago, still going on and on about that bulls eye you made in 1987.

NORAD was created to counter SOVIET air threats. You know, that country that existed from 1917 to 1991. The one that no longer exists. This thread is about the Russian Federation, the country that formed in 1991, after the USSR folded tent. The one that is not communist and uses a tri color and...

It was a quick reference to a well known event in world history. Not meant to show the relations implications, just the rough outline of the USA doing what the USSR did. Exactly the same thing, killing 100's of civilians by being far too happy on that missile firing button.

The US shot down Iran air flight 655 as well. Accidents happen, and maybe that pilot really did believe it was spying, even if it was not. I see a history of hostilities with the USSR, we all know that. However, the USSR folded camp in 1991. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655

So 3rd herd, what your saying is USSR (not Russian Federation) Shot down USAF airplanes that violated USSR air space?

There was even more anti Semites , oh, I recon, about 70-60 years ago. A lot more. In fact, if I remember, about 6 million dead Jews as result. Race Riots? I think the good ol USA has had more of them in recent time then France.

Well said SR. Centurion, when do you suppose We are going to be hit by a barrage of Nukes and VX preceding tanks and troops rolling off landing craft to invade North America? Or when are the tanks going to be rolling though Europe? I my self dont see it happening, thus I do not really care...

That is the least objective thing I have ever heard, ever. The Western world is not decaying. its advancing. It gets freer, richer and more powerful ever year, not the other way around. Then again, what I said was not objective or fact based either, but I recon if you wont give me facts to back...

None, I do not think they are better then us. I however, also, do not think they are enemies or in the ranks of the Taliban, they are a good, proper Western Nation. (proper as in they are properly, and truly part of political "west" ) Thus they are our friends (since the west needs to stick...

They diddnt violate air space. So we cant say much, now can we? The US sends it ships and subs into our waters too. And they are our best ally. Why would they do that if they are our best ally? (which I know they are, and Britain is number 2) But still, answer that? That comes into our actually...

Canada Russia relations seem to be fairly neutral to slightly friendly, at least one gathers from the department of foreign affairs...you know, the diplomatic types from our government who do that kind of stuff for a living. http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/canada-europa/mundi/country_rus_c-en.asp...

So they never ATTACKED our sovernity. French troops never landed and tried to wrest control of PQ, now did they? The Americans seem to send subs into OUR waters, but no one talks about that. They are still friends and allies. Didnt France send troops to A'stan? In fact, are some not there...

I must of missed that Franco Canadian War that happened sometime in the last 60 years. I also missed the memo saying NATO members are no longer allies or friends.

Making fun people who bled and died along our own troops in the great war? 4,266,000 of them bled and 1,397,800 of them died fighting the same fight and the same enemy as our troops.

I just go WTF. If that kind of STUPID recruiting ad on TV counts as brainwashing, your brain must of been pretty empty to start with. For that matter, I barley consider even soviet propaganda(I really only consider the wwII and the 1950's stuff to be so) to be brainwash, never mind the very...

the problem is a lot of people seem to think that the Russian Federation is actually still the Russian Socialist federal republic from the USSR days, and thus they are still stuck in a world of T80's coming though Berlin, instead of catching up with the modern times. ;)

I know, it was a bit of a poor comparison, thats why I did insurgents that US and CDN forces battle right now, with the Forces the Soviet Union battled in the 1980's as a more fair comparison in my second paragraph. ;) As that one is much fairer. And yes, I went the fighting WAFFEN-SS not the...

Just wondering, what if instead of a Us Marine it was a  Waffen SS writing about putting a 8mm Mauser instead of a 5.56 into a wounded Canadian, instead of an insurgent at Dieppe, instead of Fallujah to save valuable deutschmarks instead of valuable dollars. Would it then become a war crime...
