Why does everyone have to get all hung up on race and sex or even age. If you are in the CF you are all serving Canada, and are all there for essentially the same purpose. The better the people the better the CF. Everyone should have to keep to the same standard (or everyone within a given MOC)...

I think that some people are associating "Guerrila Tactics" with terrorism. Perhaps some of the most well-know Guerrilas commited illegal acts of terrorism, but that isnt to say that illegal acts of terrorism go hand in hand with a given set of tactics. And who is to say what defines terrorism...
