    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    I think they would have shown up by now, one way or another. I'm sure the FSB has a bullseye on anyone and everyone who knows anything and everything about WMD's from the Soviet Union. As crazy and aggressive as Russia is I doubt they want something from their arsenal, or at least a scientist...

    BB King dead at 89

    http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32747979 Sad to have read this first thing in the morning but what a life this man led. My love of blues is because of him and I imagine plenty of people, young and old, can say the same. Whether you know it or not your favorite artists were probably...

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    Thankfully we don't have to worry too much about that anymore. Even though the Nuclear Age is essentially over the risk is always there and from what I understand there are safeguards to protect people from it. I never understood why WMD's were even thought of as a viable weapon given that the...

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    I'm still amazed that even today nuclear weapons are still an issue. I don't just mean having them in nations' armaments but countries still wanting them. Bringing the issue into modern times with Iran gunning for them along with terrorists' groups I would still think some of the tactics Old...

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    That sounds like a nightmare. I had always assumed nuclear war went hand in hand with the Air Force and never knew ground units were involved. I have very little knowledge of nuclear weapons and always assumed they just came out of silos. I actually learned a lot about the START treaty in the...

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    I would have thought the only training any nation needed was CBRN because once those bombs go off who would be left to fight? I would think just having nuclear arms would be a deterrent and never knew about our role apart from Korea.

    Start of the Cold War: The Marshall Plan or Soviets' exploding first atomic bomb

    It's interesting most people overlook the importance of the Soviet's first atomic bomb and its role in ensuring things wouldn't become hot (outright war between East and West). I'd imagine most people involved, from politicians to military figures, realized the improbability of a conflict and...

    Whatever happens, happens

    For the past six months I have lurked on this site along with another site trying to learn as much as I can about the CAF, trade availability, who's hiring win etc and I'm done. I think the worst thing I've done is trying to search for answers that in the end don't matter; when my time comes, it...

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    Won't the funds allocated to the missions in Ukraine and ISIS take pressure off the Defence budget?

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    I just hope the CAF won't get burned down the road; assuming the CPC wins there's always the chance they'll lower or get rid of the proposed funds through the next decade. Then again, if they dont win this'll be off the table completely. :-[

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    For those of you currently serving will the money provided by the government address some of the issues plaguing the CAF? Issues like procurement, training, maintenance and other needs?

    The Defence Budget [superthread]

    Having followed the goings on in the CAF for a few years I've yet to hear or know of any wage increases. Is that already factored into the budget?

    "Superman vs Batman: Dawn of Justice" official movie trailers

    I got a "The Town" vibe from what little we saw of him in this trailer. If you've read Frank Miller's interpretation of Batman I think thats what they're going for; older, darker and more violent Batman. I'm not of fan of his voice though although Christian Bale's wasn't that great either.

    "Star Wars, Episode VII: the Force Awakens"

    I liked what the trailer had to offer in that it doesn't reveal too much. I think too often trailers give away a lot and given that this film will probably generate 1 billion at the Box Office I'd be fine not knowing anymore

    "Star Wars, Episode VII: the Force Awakens"

    One name: Darth Maul. He makes up for three shitty films although Episode III was not bad
