Sorry the post from my fellow Jimmy made it as I was typing this one up. So my post is somewhat redundant.

Would it still be habitual behavior (re: tradition) from bygone days where class differences were more evident? I still believe that there is a certain requirement for this distance. It may even be reinforced into their psyche during officer training. Not many supervisors/managers/leaders in...

Mmmmmmh, doughnut!

I don‘t recall seeing germans goose stepping down main street Toronto/Winnipeg/Vancourver in ‘14 or ‘39, but Canada went off to war to help out friends anyways. From 45 to early 90‘s we were in Germany helping keep dirty Ivan at bay. It was NATO not US that bombed those tanks and arty posn in...

We have to remember that the Yanks never came on board in the first war till the very end of 1917. This was after the rest of the world had been dying by the millions for 3 years. They never saw the front lines till sometime in 1918! Let‘s look at WWII. For the rest of the world it started in...

Celine Dion? Come on you could do better than that. I‘d trade her with any U‘all for a roll of used hockey tape. Billy Bishop Diefenbaker Coffe crisp chips with more than 2-3 flavours Colour Honour words spelt correctly with U caribou Newfies laughing smugly into our sleeves at americans...

Bang on Gunnar, But all is not lost. The whole cart may be rotted but each person can make a small change if they have enough desire. Take the time with kids to teach them to accept set-back and failure. Don‘t worry about hurting their little feelings all the time. I would feel remiss if I were...

I believe without the other two elements an army would have a rough go at it. Idealistically, I think all services should have one point. To support the infantry. Just like a real army where everyone‘s job leads to supporting the pointy end. My job is to provide communications. Why? So the 031...

Speaking as a parent I can‘t see how this whole mollycoddling works. Kids need a firm but fair upbringing. I want to give them all the tools they need to be good decent people later on. Go soft on them now and they will have their butts handed to them by this cruel world. If it means a kick in...

And put thousands of otherwise useless leeches of society that lawyers are out of work and mingling with real people? C‘mon Garry, there is an entire sub culture dedicated to keeping people free from personal responsability. Blame McDonalds for being fat, blame your boss because you drank too...

Karpovage, This murderous rampage you talk about that the criminals went on in Quebec, how many people were killed? One? Five? Where is the whole movement now?

Is it part of the TCCCS program?

Doug, I hope that post of yours is true! Because if it is then I think there is hope for us WRT purchasing good kit.

I think that poster who said I‘m tired of getting bullied was talking about himself personally at his school. Can someone explain to me what "Dozens of WMD related program activities" means?

I just read "With our backs to Berlin" by Le Tissier. They are accounts from German soldiers in the last few months of the war in Europe. It gave a different version than the beaten, disheveled Germans that some historical books led us to believe were all that were left.

I‘ve read in a article somewhere that same thing about him just doing vague research and muddling through most details for this fiction. I‘ve read it and enjoyed it. He talked like a soldier though. On the surface it seems credible to most readers.

muskrat89, After reading that last post of yours it made me wonder how easy it is to manipulate foreign policy through the Prez by his Snr staff. Kinda like the tail wagging the dog? Just put the puppet behind the podium, insert hand up *** and be a good ventriloquist. Come to think of it I‘ve...

S_Baker, Why is it that as soon as someone disagrees with what Bush is doing you cry out "Anti-America". Can‘t someone just say aloud that "I think he is wrong, or the way he did it is wrong" or ""He‘s just plain batty" without the knee-jerk reaction from south of 49? Anti-American rhetoric...

Right. My apologies. Should have paused before sending out something foolish like that.

Uh, oh! I‘ve gone and done it now. I‘ve pissed off Denmark!
