If we deny these people compensation that's just going to be one more bit of propoganda used against us promoting others to join the Taliban and one more assured Taliban insurgent. I would say give the man his compensation and if that fails and he joins the Taliban, then solve the situation by...

For as long as we don't have the troops to actually hold the territory we capture the Taliban will "always" have their bases to attack from and villagers that look to them for support since our coalition forces can't get to them or help them. Until there are more troops (which will be happening...

Thanks for the reply MCG, I wouldn't know any of that unless someone with some knowledge on this told me. I didn't assume this was "right for the military" because I didn't get any non-biased information. Why do you think I posted here asking someone knowledgable in this field to comment on it...

Here are some new videos of testing his armor: Soft Armor pt.1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJl76ZnKAPA pt. 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ8AE8z7unY Body Armor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOO1aZmD-k That looks really impressive to "me" at least, but I'm not exactly an expert. Can...

RIP sir  :salute:

Let's hope that will be the case, but Kim Jong is a very unpredictable man... From what I've heard he might have had a seizure, and if that's the case who knows, he could be dead, he could be slowly recovering but okay or he could be a vegetable... or he could be replaced by a "clone" o.o

Thanks bud. Anyways, aced the interview and I was told that my merit listing should be very competitive, although unfortunately I had to re-sign certain forms and I'll be going under another background check since it was 6 months since my last one. Does anyone know how filled up PPCLI is...

RIP Sgt. Shipway and speedy recovery for the wounded  :salute:

Hey guys, I would've thought this was already posted but after going through the search function discovered differently. This is based on the novel Generation Kill "Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America and the New Face of American War" by Evan Wright. It was made by HBO and before anything else...

At the moment rocking to Nine Inch Nails "Only", "the Hand that Feeds", "Wish" and the usual assortement from Disturbed, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, Priestess, Linkin Park, Bamboo and Guano Apes. Those always get me amped for a workout and run if I'm feeling tired.

I'll be checking this out, it looks very interesting and if it's anything close to Generation Kill I'll be enjoying it very much. I'll post back on my impressions when I see a few episodes.

Good luck buddy :) Just have my interview to redo now since I reapplied to Reg. Force and then I'm merit listed. September 22nd, very excited although I know I still have some waiting to do. Keep us posted, I found this site as useful as you when it comes to information on what to expect and tips.

Great, I just got a call and my interview is at September 12, for a second I was told I might have to do it in October but then there was a spot that opened up earlier :) In the meantime spending quite a bit of time working out, playing some games and occasionally going to a movie, pretty...

RIP soldiers and speedy recovery for the wounded :salute:

Some of these articles make my blood boil, does "the true north strong and free" mean anything to these guys?

Done the medical, passed it and now to await my interview. Booyah ;D

RIP Soldiers :salute:

14 months and counting. Well now that the recruitment process has started up again for me my medical is on the 22nd and hopefully my interview will be soon after. I'll be merit listed in a month or two unless some unforseen complications arise, then hopefully a speedy job offer (and the chances...

Well, I can see how it'd be more aesthetically pleasing for Canada to be there in a peacekeeping position. I'm looking forward to seeing what this upcoming deployment will be. Maybe in the future it might be a bigger benefit than I thought to be fluent in Russian >.>
