MedTech, from what Wikipedia says, the last war the Mexicans fought in was World War II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_History_of_Mexico#World_War_II The rest of the time, it seems, they've been busy trying to get their own house in order. I agree though, the Dalai Lama should stick to...

It's about time. If these guys have the guts to stand up for what they believe in and refuse to go to Iraq, they should have the guts to face the punishment associated with such actions. Instead, they act like a bunch of spineless cowards and run up to Canada, expecting to be treated like heros...

Wow, that is absolutely ridiculous. Unless I'm mistaken, it is the duty of any peace officer, never mind just the MPs, to apply adequate and justified force in order to apprehend a suspect. Firmly grabbing someone by the arms does not sound like prisoner abuse in any way shape or form. All this...

I have to agree with MP 811 on this one. I would be very interested to know where some of these so-called facts came from. I really did not appreciate the portrayal of Canadian soldiers that the movie displayed. Overall, I only saw the last hour of the series but I must admit, I wasn't overly...

How accurate is this movie? For example, is there any record of soldiers brutally beating one of the militants who was sleeping in his defensive position. I mean, this movie seems to be portraying the CF as a bunch of bloodthirsty, lying thugs. Anyone else get this impression?

All I can say is, excellent post, Piper.  :salute:

This link might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces_casualties_in_Afghanistan No pics but names and details for all the casualties. This link too: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/afghanistan/casualties/total.html

Seeing our C-17 roaring over Point Frederick today was a thing of beauty. I still can't get over how well a machine that large can move through the air.

RIP 22714 Mark Ashley. The RMC family has lost another great member. My condolences to his family and shipmates. You will not be forgotten, Sir.  :salute:

RIP GO!!! Your contributions to this site will be greatly missed.

To add to a_majoor's post, what on earth does Stephen Staples know about IEDs? CTV had him on earlier talking about what the CF can do to better protect itself from them. He really has no right to speak about such things and CTV should be ashamed of itself giving this man the ability to spread...

Mere weeks ago, I was speaking with his father and learned so much more about him. Although I remember him as the RMC Cadet Wing Senior in 2004, I feel like I knew him so much better than that. My condolences to his family and the families of all the fallen. Rest in peace, you will never be...

Or some other first world country that isn't at war. Wait, why don't we just save the expense and keep our troops in Canada? That way, we could strip the CF down to nothing more than a glorified police force.

Countries where our soldiers can't possibly be killed and wouldn't need to carry weapons.

Hey! I resemble that comment! Errr... i meant to say resent...

Hmmm, the only national health insurance card which I have is my CF Blue Cross Card. No way I would trade that in. But seriously, what the heck is Michael Moore talking about?

Congrats, Keebler.

Why don't we ever do a Kingston M&G during the academic year? People afraid of meeting all of us RMC folks? lol

Again, don't hold your breath on that, either. If you're lucky, you will be able to grab a wireless signal from somewhere in the blue sector, otherwise, you'll probably have to rely on the internet terminals in the various break rooms. Though, things may have changed in the past 2 years since I...
