    The 'myth' of Iraq's foreign fighters

    I fail to see how Britney's last response was insulting. Britney was refering to Iraqi society as a whole re: rights of women, etc. while Kirkhill took the case of one individual from Iraq that had immunity from the state's law. Edited to explain my postion better.

    CSS Troops - Less "Deserving"?

    Not to mention that CSS units usually are not equipped to act in anything more than a defensive role.

    Civi protesters, repect and the CDS's speech merged topics

    George, For your personal entertainment (or motivation to bash one's head against a convenient cinder block wall :warstory:), here's a conversation I had today with a 'friend' of mine that goes to said university in question: **WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS IMMATURE SUBJECT MATTER.** Her...

    Blackwater USA Conducting Ops in New Orleans

    Thanks CFL, I stand corrected.  However, my mistake only points out how the general public views them.

    Blackwater USA Conducting Ops in New Orleans

    PMC is just the latest euphemism for mercenary, regardless of Duke's rebuttal.  Since mercenary itself is a dirty word there's not much surprise in the negative connotation.

    Is recruiting still a pain?

    When one of my friends from high school joined it took him two years of waiting.  When I joined it took 6 months to process everything.  Other guys that came in the same time as me were waiting a year and a half to two years. I guess I lucked out since I had the shortest wait time out of them...

    Putting these videos up on the internet is a great idea too. The shame factor does wonders.

    Merged 64 Pattern Rucksack thread

    No there isn't unfortunately.  He showed me the kit in person.  But as background for the kit goes, he was an uber-zeleous cadet in his youth and ordered it from wheelers.  Now he's older and trying to get rid of all the kind of junk he accumulated.  It's actually in very good condition (almost...

    Merged 64 Pattern Rucksack thread

    Hey all, I'm looking for some advice from all those here with all that great field experience. I have the opportunity to buy a 64 pattern frame from a buddy of mine, fairly cheap and in pretty good condition.  My question is simple: Is it worth it?  I know everyone here says it's the cat's arse...

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    Maybe the CF/DND should produce their own recruting commercials instead of getting all these market research companies out of Quebec to do it.  Much cheaper and probably more effective.  I just slapped this example together in about 20 minutes.  Excuse the cheezy slogans, I just felt I should...

    CIC recruiting process...the medical

    If you're doing CIC, don't worry.  I have a buddy that just made it in, he can't run a block, and his heart sounds like a machine gun.  Ironically enough, on top of that, he got the job of PE&RT course officer at a cadet camp.
