    White Supremacist Infiltration of Canadian Forces?

    Personally, I think this and any articles like it are, for the most part, wishful thinking on the part of the so-called MSM. I think they miss those halcyon days of the mid-nineties where they could bash the living crap out of the CF and have a good chunk of the general population singing the...

    Hero inflation

    I wonder if this whole thing would even be newsworthy, much less cause all this acrimonious debate, if the original words had been spoken by...say...a retired USMC Gunnery Sergeant with a chest full of medals as opposed to "some left-wing bedwettin' commie from the MSM" ? Sometimes it's the...

    HMCS Charlottetown taking greenies

    A pair of questions from a landlubber: 1) I notice the guardrail  <- (insert proper nautical name here) is folded down. Is it always down when the ship is under way ?

    Canadians are ignorant about defence/military

    Unfortunately RD, it's not just today's youth. Over the years, I've worked with countless 40 and 50-somethings who are amazingly, appallingly pig ignorant of just about anything that doesn't involve sports, celebrities or recreational drugs. I'll step into conversations when they crop up...
