This is the largest part of the reason as well as the two missiles hitting each other has a more predictable post collision flight pattern than just being hit by fragmentation. The other concern, particularly with a C-RAM shooter is collateral damage of the fragments that fire out since we often...

and snipers. Perhaps the infantry can make the delta up with female snipers a la the Soviet Union? https://www.rbth.com/arts/history/2017/06/20/lady-death-and-the-invisible-horror-the-female-face-of-war_786422 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Battalion

Unfortunately, there are many directives that specifically state that units are not to hold merit boards and that units are not to hold PERs or reference PERs for annual evaluations. The nature of the beast is that merit boards, regardless of direction, dont seem to want to go away. But you're...

The problem for the PC party is that they seem to want to always, as has been noted, go socially conservative. The problem with that is that the vast majority of people in Ontario live within urban areas (11 million to 1.8 million in 2011) and have little interest in pro-choice (why even bring...

Grandpa/grandpa? How progressive of you!

I couldn't agree more that standards shouldn't be lowered. I don't believe in the long run they have to. Men and women are proven to be just as effective in leadership positions and there's no reason why this isn't true in every trade. Moreover, I don't think the kind of women or minorities we...

To play a logic game- if we cannot get enough women/minorities into the doors of the recruiting centre what quota can be implemented? The recruiting system already allows any applicant who meets the basic standards of service (or in the case of physical fitness not even). Aside from identifying...

If I may- I believe that the idea was to set the ideal for a force representative of the larger Canadian population in terms of gender and cultural/race makeup rather than establishing a direct quota. The equality of men and women in leadership positions is an established fact, with women being...

Agree. It's a dangerous path to walk, particularly in light of the same thing happening in the Ghomeshi trial. Governments have the right to challenge the supreme court on matters of constitutional importance, such as was the challenge of same sex marriage and 2 x governments challenging...

Yes, choice. The ILT articles and most research on the matter says that Prof Peterson is accurate though he certainly doesn't go into any sort of analysis of the "why" but points at the "what". The question then becomes, why do they choose to stay out of these fields? Why do women generally not...

I agree. The PM and justice minister coming out with the assertion that the legal system failed is extremely unprofessional. One can safely assume that the PMs comments were basically clag designed for sympathy. While he shouldn't comment on such things, "sending love" isn't a direct assault on...

Well, the academic studies would suggest that implicit bias/Implicit leadership theory (ILT) is an indicator for female numbers, particularly within the combat arms. ILT, in its simplest form, is simply the concept that leadership and the leader/follower dynamic is based on in group/out group...

the sex isn't of interest. The paying off of someone should be as it's a pretty good character indication.

So, the Democrats did exactly what the Republicans did when Obama was president? To imply that one side or the other is inherently different in what is essentially acting as an obstruction to the president or other party is not rooted in any fact or critical analysis.

They're both power dynamics so I would argue that the employee/employer or social dynamic is irrelevant. Regardless, in neither case is there any real evidence that the power dynamic is what caused the relationship aside from the assertion that Monica Lewinsky/Stormy Daniels only slept with...

Why not? Both were extramarital affairs with legal aged consenting adults. Both were done from positions of power. The fact that one was an intern and the other is a porn star isn't relevant as the occupation of the person, or the fact that they had an extramarital affair. It's that both...

Ahhh, ok. So you had no opinion about Bill clinton then?

Draining the swamp of course!
