"The latest cuts, estimated in the range of $32 million, will slice into the army’s ability to train for operations in the jungle, desert and mountains" Situation no change. "Defence sources say as much as $600 million will be cut out of military “readiness” in all branches in the coming year"...

You won't do anything at BMQ that would require you to have any supplements. Except maybe a multi-vitamin and a lot of hand soap. Too many diseases floating around there.

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for.

Can anyone sum up what the reservists job is in Canada. I recently got into a bit of an argument and was told that reserves are not there to support reg F in areas of need that they cannot otherwise fullfil themselves. Just want to see the otherside of things before I go back.

Feel free to pounce on me as I suggest that different trades are held to different fitness standards. As I see it's fine for a clerk to be unfit. But the current tests seem to be kind of weak for the combat arms let alone an infantryman.

Yea, I wasnt even in, in 2008

Interestingly enough I have not seen the ruck covers, only tops and bottoms.

You can say that all you want, but a few guys from my old platoon had them issued from clothing stores.

I have seen some of our guys with somthing similar. Just a little grey here and there.

I have to agree with chevy on this one. Not only in the industrialization of it but the fact that they so meticulously documented it.

The Germans in WW2 had an equivalent of darpa it made the first long range rockets and subsequently jet powered aircraft. As well as the first useful helicopter, the first guided missiles, another aircraft with "stealth" capabilities the b2 bomber is almost identical. All stuff that normal...

I don't think it means 1% of german jews were targeted, they account for 1% of people overall. And a lot of German Jews left the country prior to the war. Of which a lot tried to enter Canada and the USA but we both turned them away

It started well before the war with England and such, it is hard to put it all in a paragraph. There is a book called the Great Betrayal by Ian Smith. Though in the end when Rhodesia was left to stand on its own they did lose. And I am quite certain sf personnel waive some sort of right when...

You have got to be kidding me... They may not have used the term holocaust but the Germans documented everything. And it clearly shows they were harvesting the people (hair, gold teeth etc) Working them to death and exterminating them. I heard a story of man scooping up the fat from fellow...

I enjoy reading them as well, doesn't mean that they should be written. At least while the war is ongoing. Eating soup with a knife, first read that in seven pillars of wisdom. Also a good read for anyone interested, as it's from the guerrillas themselves. Perhaps the inventor of modern...

Successful counter-insurgencies (English Speaking) Rhodesia Malaya Ireland Oman All of which were kept under wraps at the time, 2 of which required a putting a local face on the war. Also none of which used very many conventional troops, and usually when they did they weren't acting as...

No they win the war becuase they put an indigenous face on the war and use indigenous forces as a front so people will believe that they won the war and not America. Becuase if they believe that they might trust and support their army and choose sides and not just play like italians. Also if...

No, but they should focus on their budget and just use SF that won't write a book about it to fight there enemies. I am not even sure if there was ever an unconventional war won by conventional troops in the history of war. So you spend more and put more at risk too lose the war.

Point taken, but the only thing that is going to destroy America is America. Not a guy with an AK 15000km away. Yes I know a guy with an AK attacked and killed thousands of Americans but it didn't destroy America. It did give them a right too attack them, but continuing to hurl themselves into...
