    Sept 2023 UKR Vet Recognition Incident (merged from several threads)

    I'm disgusted. This Nazi scum was a member of the Waffen-SS. This has nothing to do with Ukraine/Russia now. As a reminder, the Allgemeine-SS and all its parts, including the Waffen-SS, was condemned as a criminal organization after the end of the war. Its members were also condemned as such...

    Late Cold War Canadian Army

    They mostly disappeared. They were being used in the early 1990s, mounted on the M113s and if I'm not mistaken, still in Grizzly turrets. But certainly gone as a dismounted MG.

    Late Cold War Canadian Army

    Although referred to as a GPMG, the C5 was definitely not "general purpose". I recall it being issued to a scale of 1/platoon, able to be mounted on the M113. But once the C6 came in, I think it pretty much vanished, though I did learn it on my basic MG course in 1989.

    Late Cold War Canadian Army

    The best source would be to look at 4 CMBG; the other brigade groups were all over the place in terms of ORBAT. The best available source for this would be Kenneth Macskey's book "First Clash". I'm sure there is an ORBAT in there, if you can get a copy.

    Canadian Forces Reservists behind fake letter warning of wolves being released

    No.  I'm sure the investigation will determine that.

    Canadian Forces Reservists behind fake letter warning of wolves being released

    I feel really bad for him, too.  :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: I guess he needs to go door to door and leave some letters telling people that there are NO wolves coming!

    General Election: Oct 21, 2019

    I think he is; he just doesn't realize it.  He is the epitome of bigotry of soft expectations. He believes in intersectionality and that the less privileged you are, the more help you need because you can't do that on your own.

    Chick-fil-A Derangement Syndrome

    I've seen nothing but great customer service at the Chik Fil A's I've been to. In fact, I'm willing to file this statement of yours under "things that never happened for 500".  Given today's saturation with media (smart phones, etc), any such blatant behaviour gets reported and goes viral in...

    Chick-fil-A Derangement Syndrome

    I really miss Chik Fil A.  From marketing to their chicken to their waffle fries.  And the Chik Fil A sauce! Their chicken soup is amazing.

    I'm not sure how I missed this. Several months later, and yes I am.  Not for a few weeks, though. I'm about to move and things are...hectic

    CANFORGEN 097/19 - IMMEDIATE CHANGES TO THE MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM

    Reference 4.c., does this mean that if someone were a reservist Sgt say in 1989 and was convicted, got a severe rep and oh, I dunno, say 500 fine (less than monthly salary), then that person would no longer have a criminal record due to this? Asking for a friend...
