    Another Shooting in T.O., and one Councillor wants the army to come in.

    Do you actually have any proof that any murders in TO were carried out by non-Canadians, or is this just a xenophobic rant?

    WHY AN AGRESSIVE FIGHTING CULTURE IS IMPORTANT

    The least possible burden on others? What about helping out people in need and having some compassion? The CBSA, by arming its guards, is actively putting people out of jobs who cannot use weapons. These people will be unemployed as a direct result of new policies. In that case, it is the...

    WHY AN AGRESSIVE FIGHTING CULTURE IS IMPORTANT

    Arming of the border guards implies that someday, these guards will actually have to use these weapons. Someone that joined the CBSA ten, or even five years ago could not fathom that being proficient in the use of handguns would be part of their job description. Some of them may be physically...

    DND will fund Afghan mission out of its own budget next year

    This isn't that big of an issue. The war has been funded out of our budget all along. They're just saying "don't come back asking for anymore", which in reality is just a slap on the wrist. If DND runs over its budget then it will get the money it needs, but the government won't be happy about...

    WHY AN AGRESSIVE FIGHTING CULTURE IS IMPORTANT

    Let's pretend your job is infantry. I don't know anything about you, but let's just say it's infantry. So, the CDS decides that the infantry will no longer work with guns and run around the forest... you're going to carry a two-headed axe and ride uni-cycles everywhere. Oh, what's that? You...

    Reservists Job Protection Superthread

    That's my question as well... does this protect those that volunteer? And what constitutes service which would be protected? Volunteering to go on a course or teach a course for the summer or just for deployments?

    DAG'ing (red, green, res vs reg - merged)

    Just came back from my Medical part 1 at NDMC. I was told that, as a Class A reservist, they're not allowed to give me the immunizations I require-- even though I'm going to be Class C starting in Jan. Will this affect my ability to DAG green? Can I just get it done in Pet? Is there some sort...

    Dropzone 64 Pattern Assembly

    On the hip belt, the extra loops for para cord/zap straps... what part of the 64 frame should I loop it around? Are the shoulder straps supposed to be hard to adjust or is it just tight when it's new?

    Dropzone 64 Pattern Assembly

    I'm out and about at school and stuff all day.. maybe try writing it down here? May be useful for anyone in the future that searches the forums, too.

    A Threatening Future and a Plan for Action

    So it's a sarcastic snipe at the authors of the paper? How about, "the three authors," or "Messers Granatstein, Smith, and Stairs." Respectful and descriptive. It detracts from the impact of your editorial when you veil insults at the persons you are critiquing, and then needlessly italicize it...

    Dropzone 64 Pattern Assembly

    I just ordered the shoulder straps and hip belt from Dropzone. Can anyone provide me with any information on how to attach these best? Little bit confusing. How come army gear never comes with instructions..

    A Threatening Future and a Plan for Action

    Why do you call them "the three wise men"? It makes what otherwise would have been a solid editorial sound like something from the Sun.
