Putin is from a naval family and advocates aggressive naval expansion.  This can only turn out badly.  what happens if Israel decides to hit Syria, with Russian troops there.  This kind off stuff will keeps us very busy IMO over the next decade...

Very misleading.  The Jerusalem Post says here http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1225199612287&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull that it was an exit poll with a very limited and flawed sample that oversampled the Orthodox Jewish community, a natural McCain constituency.  I wonder...

The polls say that a majority of the electorate thinks otherwise...  He's even getting 15%+ of the Republican vote according to most polls

McCain is doing it wrong:  you run to the right in the primary and then you plan yourself in the center for the general election.  McCain inexplicably ceded the center to Obama while running to the lunatic fringe on the right. 

http://www.globalsecurity.org/ Good one as well.  There should be quite a bit of CF Cold war era literature on the subject, check with your unit.

The Columbian drug cartels had a similar idea some years ago....

Even if the "Bush Doctrine" response is debatable, Palin's inability to name a single Supreme Court decision she did not agree with other than Roe v Wade is pretty telling of how informed she is.  I am not even an American, and I could name a few: Dred Scott, Boumediene v. Bush. This is somebody...

I think you are talking about the subsidy that reservists get.  The original poster is talking about a reg force program.

I would not have had a problem with "real American Hero" because that is what McCain is.  He said " Real American."  That implies Obama is not a "real American."  Why?  Is it because he has a funny name?  Is it because he is black?  That what that implies to me.  McCain did not even bat an...

The big problem I see with many civilian positions in DND is that, even though they go to competition, the competitions are designed to hire a particular person who allready works in that department and all else is for show.  I know many people who accepted lower level positions to get their...

+1 for Baden Guy and Redeye.  Maybe there is something about Palin that appeal to the right in the US.  While I consider my self a centrist right on some issues, left on others there is nothing about her, or the McCain campaign that would appeal to me if I was voting in the US election.   They...

Let them cry about it... They would raise more of a stink if the military did it.  Some European navies cannot even arrest pirates because they would have to give them asylum then.  An increasing body count would dissuade people from pursuing a career in piracy.

This is the perfect situation to use military contractors IMO.  A few converted merchant ships with armed helicopters could do the job.  Baiting them out and them blowing them out of the water is the way to go.

As to the only fraud being from Democats and ACORN, I bring your attention to a Mr Xavier Suarez who was ousted as the Mayor of Miami by the courts in 1998 for absentee voter fraud.  In 2000 he was the head of the Republican Party Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade county and responsible for...

See Florida 2000 for voter suppression.  Purging 50 000 voter form the voting rolls for being convicted felons even though 25000 of them were not and then turning them away from the polling stations.   This ACORN thing is being used as a talking point by the Rush Limbaugh types.   The truth is...

5-6 hours if for the duration of your Basic Officer Training Course (BOMQ), minus weekends, and any courses like CAP and any field exercises.  As for lifestyle, that was beaten to death on this site.  As I said, the search fiction is your friend.  To be a linguist you would have to join as a...

+1 Bane On a related note, I think this election will cause even more of a legal circus then the 2000 Florida fiasco, with allegations of vote fraud on one side vs. allegations of voter suppression on the other side.

the search function is your friend.... But since I have time.  Because you have been living abroad it will take you longer to get enrolled.due to security clearance requirements.  take home depends on the province you are posted too...  In Ontario it would be about 33-35k.  In training and on...

Short answer:  Yes.  The requirement for passing the fitness test on enrolment was dropped.  So after you enroll and go to BMQ you are tested there.  If you do not achieve the standard you are sent to (I think it is called) Recruit Fitness Training where you have 90 days to achieve the standard...

How about some educated guesses on the outcome....
