When I did my background check, they wanted to know what I have been doing for the past 10 years. Where I went to school, work, where I‘ve lived and if I‘ve left the country, where, when and how long. I summed all that up on my application (had to add a couple extra sheets). If you were a...

Canadians developed the machine gun tracer bullet if I recall correctly and in the First World War developed effective gas/anti-gas doctorine. If you want to get really specific, mouseholing was developed by the Loyal Edmonton Regiment during Ortona.

Aw crap, I wasn‘t paying attention and didn‘t realize there was a whole other page to this thread. Now my first post on this thread makes me look like a class A turd. Rene and other Liberals like that piss me off to no end. They miss the point completely. They talk about being misguided but...

:eek: Ouch. Not the brightest thing to say among trained and experienced soldiers who are actually in the military and are living the life as we speak. Me thinks they have a slight advantage over us cadets/former cadets when it comes to talking about things military. Please keep your mouth...

Maybe the mods should lock this topic for a while and let everyone cool down.

Hey, I just happen to be one of those "misguided" Uni students! :D And I do have a very Liberal-based mindset, but I‘ve seen just as many conservative dumdums in University as I have on the Liberal side. Being a self proclamed Liberal, that‘s bound to not win me many friends here, but meh...

To add to this question, if Canada were to implement conscription, would include women as well? I know chances of selective service in Canada are close to zilch now, but I‘m just curious. Now, to answer the original question, I would expect so if trades that they can be accepted to are in...

How many Flames fans went into cardiac arrest when Vancouver tied it up with 6 seconds left on the clock?

As an aside, I think everyone can see this as an ironic twist, especially since the vast majority here are more tory-oriented. But the only time that this country has ever funded the forces to an acceptable level during a time of peace was in the 1950s under a Liberal government. The Tories...

Carpet bombing was an accepted fact of the World War II era, but that was a total war between two European powers. It was a fight to the finish, with every last man and dollar put into it. You cannot say that Iraq is the same situation. Simply calling an air strike or artillery bombardment on...

I agree with sdimock. Scum like this is not worth spending time over. Shoot him, get it over with, use his body for fertilizer and move on. He‘s not worth wasted time.

I live in a heavily multicultural neighbourhood here in Calgary and I see all those characteristics every day, both from the majority and the minority. We do respect each other. We all have the same goals in life: to be sucessful, happy and safely raise families. The only difference I can see...

I heard that a long time ago (even before they got rid of the Cadet MP course) that Air Cadets actually had their own parachute course running out of Edmonton. It was canceled due to a couple incidents involving cadet pancakes.

To answer this and to simplify (well, for me anyway) what everyone else has said, i would say that the difference is that the army‘s purpose is to use the maximum amount of controlled force while police try to use the minimal amount of force possible to carry out their responsibilities.

Has anyone been called Hitler Youth yet? It kinda backfired on the guy that screamed it at me. I just started laughing and couldn‘t stop (I don‘t know why), but it got even better when a security guard grabbed the guy and manhandled him out of the mall. I don‘t know about these cowards. Give...

RTC13, I‘m not quite sure you meant in your last post there. What do you want to know about the quote in my signiture block?

I was doing that as a sgt for my sqn. It was the beginning of the year so we were recruiting at the same time. But we were doing this right after sept 11. More people came up to us and asked about whether we were 1) taking money for the victims in NY, or 2) asked if we were going overseas...

Well you know this country, we‘d rather spend money on those that drain the system than on those who protect it.
