personally i think the CH-53 might be a better buy then the CH-47.  As the 53 are more modern and would not require the upgrades that the 47's do.  I don't think 5 attack helo's of any kind would help the forces.  How do you deploy only five and train and have parts.  I think if you are going...

Sources tell us the Defence Department has drafted a detailed plan to buy up to $10 billion of new aircraft over the coming decade, an expenditure just slightly less than this year's entire <military> budget. If all goes to plan, the biggest procurement program in Canadian history would...

It doesn't even have to be a terrorist attack from or on Canadian soil.  What a bout at Cat 4-5 storm hitting the east or west coast.  The USA had over 70,000 troops deployed in the gulf area after the storm while still maintaining their commitments over seas.  This would be an impossibility in...

Just a question,  Why is no one asking or talking about geting the Ch-53 instead of the chinook's.  Both are heavy lift choppers.  The Chinook may be a little tough to get ahold of but I would think that we could steal some Pav Low 4's for a fair price from the Americans.  Are they to small not...

They hate us until they need us, we attend more wishy washy calls then any other police force in Canada.  Could you imagine TPS (METRO) or any other large city or even regional police force writing a report on someones stolen combats from a barrick room.  Or the dog barking or neighbours music...

An argument for both higher learning and military experience can be made and in MOO has been made.  Former CFPM's have stated that in order to specialize the branch the education was needed.  The Currnet CFPM will continue this in order to maintain our specialisation within the forces.  This...

Yes that was a joke

But then Harper should not have used the tapes to try and hammer the liberals he should have used them the hammer Grewal.  But his masters saw this as a chance to kick the Liberals when they were down.  This blew up in his face and now he has to live with the decision.  But i feel you may be...

Have to agree with Pronto on this one.  One can understand that in the heat of the moment a lack of tact or Political Correctness can come out.  But we still have to be carefull not to mix opinion with fact and truth with lies.  Now for my two cents,The way this Parliament is playing out it is...

I don't think China has ever really given up its claim to TW.  That would be why they would want to reassert control over it.  I don't think the Imperial ambitons of old would make for a good argument for new territory but it never really stops ambitious nations from expanding there own...

It won't and i never said it would.  All i stated was that if they valued human life the way we do you would not even have to worry or we would not be having this discussion but they don't.  And even if they left TW alone there is a big flashy pool of resources right up north of them.  Traing...

If they valued human life the way you and i do i would agree with you.  But they seem to be a little behind in the caring for there fellow man.  It would be no cake walk that is for sure but if they were determined and were able to isolate the island it would not be impossible.  They are...

I have to agree with the maj on this one.  The resource based economies of India and China are out stripping the local resources at an exponetial rate.  Siberia does have vast untapped reousces but the ability to extract them will be costly and dangerous.  India and China could attempt to do...

I am sure you take part in the tradition already by holding your cup of Tims in the morning.  Just kidding not really well maybe. What types were you looking for ceremonial or dress or history a direction or hint would be nice.

I debated on whether or not to weigh in on this conversation but i think i have a right we do live in a free country for now until they tax that. 1) Why can Harper not win?  He does lack alot of the charm and smiles that Ontarians love and admit it so does much of the voting public.  He is...

This thread reads like a Tom Clancy novel.  Who will help Russia when or if China invades?  The Americans would at least in terms of air power and naval power.  They would not want to see all of those resources funnelled into a military IMOO.  As for India they may even side with China as both...

Are you sure about that?  I may be wrong it has happened before. Last i heard all personal had to have some background in L&S or PF remuster and direct entry. Either way they still have to go through MPAC and that selection phase.  I know experience counts but there is alot to be said about the...

It is no longer pretty soon it is already in effect that you must have either a police foundations or a Law and Security program.

So, let's not try to find a single solution "Wunderwaffe" for several problems. Problem is we have people buying this equipment looking only at dollar value and not at capability.  Sure like anything we but forward three or four "wish list items"  but as things stand now the deceisons are made...

Do you really have to wonder why the Militayr is loved in Alberta?  Umm let me think..... We drive trucks and carry guns.  We fit right in with most of the population out here.  On a serious note i have had the pleasure of both Ont, and AB as postings and have to say it does varry but you run...
