To go where no man has gone before-How can we not do it?.                                           Regards

All the people mentioned in the above posts are part of the risk taking fraternity,in other words,warriors.The fighter pilot dropping ordnance from 5000 feet is not absolutely sure that the bad guys may not pick this day to fire their newly acquired SAM,the arty guys are never safe from counter...

Mea culpa,Mea culpa,I suppose murder was a poor choice of words and I apologise to anyone who may have been offended, however I still find this remote control, no risk killing ,disturbing. I think the idea of the warrior disappearing to be replaced by the computer geek in uniform equally...

That is not at all how I view pilots at all,in fact quite the opposite,I guess you could almost call me a fighter pilot groupie I have been fascinated by pilots and air combat since I was a kid.Economic factors kept me from fulfilling my dream of becoming one myself however the fascination...

Defence Secretary Gates recently stated that the F22 and the F35 would be the last manned fighter/attack aircraft the forces would buy.This was included in a story about remote controlled aerial vehicles in the US Air Force,on CNN,last week. The British Defence Minister was way ahead of him,in...

I read that over 10,000 Canadians served in Vietnam and they were also victims of the great left wing lie perpetrated about this war.They were of course volunteers,as they served in the US Forces,as were 75% of the troops that fought in this almost forgotten war                                ...

I am afraid I can find very little sympathy for the Iranian people. A much smarter person than me stated once that in the long run a people get the government they deserve,and the Iranian people layed the shackles on themselves when they went to the streets to bring a power mad group of clerics...

ÙS 8th Airforce bomber crews claims were totally fictitious.Scenario: a FW 190 flies through a box of B17s and is hit and goes down trailing smoke, at least 15 gunners fired at the enemy fighter and are convinced they were the one that made the kill.When they go to the debrief all claim a kill...

I think I am beginning to understand whats going on,the fiscal incompetent and irresponsible,individual and cor perate, are going to be bailed out by the government.That means the people who live in a house they can afford,pay their credit card bills at the end of the month,and generally avoid...

I remember watching this incident on TV,as I said in my previous post the tank was crossing a bridge and they were underfire, the highrise was of to their right and if they had gotten a flash reflection from the camera lens they could not help but believe the were receiving fire from  that...

Reminds me of the rumour started started by some lefty twit in Lahr.Just after the F18 came into service the rumour started that the Canadian planes were dumping fuel over Lahr.This even made it into the local papers.This was caused by the F18 dragging vortex off  the wingtips if any moisture...

Tank crew fighting their way into Bagdad, crossing a bridge and some bonehead journo.sticks his big telephoto lens out of a upper window of a high rise building.Would any soldier be at all surprised at the result.                               Regards

After first having read about this on the CTV website I am still not sure what this is all about.Is it a publicity stunt to support the Inuit living in their "traditional way" or is it someway to support the unemployed Newfoundland fisherman`s annual seal hunt?. If its the former I can only...

Thucydides,pray tell what role do you see the CF 105 fullfilling in a Euro war in 1985?.The Arrow was a one trick pony a all weather interceptor designed to shoot down,with missiles,a high flying bomber.This threat dissapeared shortly after the CF 105 would have gone into service,with the...

Midnight Rambler                     I was somewhat confused about the time frame of your scenerio.                     Regards

Content removed by Moderator You can have your opinion but keep it on the topic.

From a strictly military point of view I suppose you scenario has some merit,we may have done even better.From what we discovered after 1989 the tip of the Soviet spear was sharp and bright however what was behind that tip was inefficient, worn and riven with corruption. Add to that is the fact...

England expects every man to do his duty,unless of course you feel it would somehow infringe on your human rights. WTF                             Regards

Get a machete,not exactly "cool" for you jnr.Rambo's out there but the most effective bladed weapon in the world, judging by body count.                           Regards,with tongue in cheek.

The answer to that is self evident,Maggie is long gone and the socialists would be more than happy to give up the Falklands if they could sell it to British public as a money saving move and leave the graves of the soldiers who fought to defend it behind. After all they have done it before,all...
