    Military Swim Test - When, Where, and How- Merged

    Government Falls! The 2006 election thread

    I'm just happy that there is now a military-friendly minority government in power. Harper + Hillier = possible good future ahead for the forces  :salute: :warstory: :cdn: (I voted conservative, but not just because of the military)

    Best "battle theme"?

    TCBF: I have the special edition DVD of Dr. Strangelove  ;D ;D Classic movie! There's also another theme that is good for marching to battle in, namely "The Imperial March" by John Williams (we all know this one). Now, all we need in the CF are AT-AT's so we can defend the arctic better  :o
