There was also the War of 1870 between France and Germany, never heard of it till I visited grave sights in Luxemburg, in the German cemetery they had German graves form the war of 1870, WW1 and WW2.

I purchased a pair of motorcycle sun glasses made by MXL, they are called Freedom Polarchromix and they are fantastic, they where 249.00 and worth every penny. I purchased the yellow lenses so I can see great in low light. They use the same lens technology on the lenses that they use for fighter...

Yes I agree and I will stand with pride and sheke the hand of Mgen Verno any time anywhere and General Lewis MacKenzie I have the upmost recpect for them. But they where too few to change the course of history at the time.

I was not going to reply at all as I was angry and frustrated. But I feel the need. My point from the beginning was that the Canadian Airborne Regiment was disbanded because of the Somalia incident. I do not agree with anyone being murdered and that if any Canadian soldier murders a man...

I have a pair of them and they work great, tried a few other models but I have big legs and they where too small or just did not fit right, these ones are great.

Even at my age, I would consider joining a American Legion. But as in all Legions, we would be a be put in all of the shit fighting, but if you are looking for combat then that is what you would want....

Actually the Chinese government does not tax fuel, hence very cheap gas in China. In Montreal today gas was $1.02 cdn a liter; it sells for about $0.60 a liter (3.90 Yuan a liter) today in China. Also they are getting wealthier in China, 20% of the population now makes $100.00 cdn a month where...

First off I am just going to say that this will be my last post on this issue, the pain of reading the posts are just too much for me at this time. As I said, I think that the CAR was disbanded do too political and financial reasons and the press was used to have the news of what had happened...

My god, George, you really want to make your point here I see. I did not say they wore the same badge, I said go to a Veterans hospital and see what badge they are wearing now, today, at this time. They all or should I say 99% of them where the Canadian Airborne Regiment badge, that was formed...

Actually we see things quite differently, this has all to do with the disbandment. The reason the Regiment was disbanded was totally do to this individual. The disbandment was a political decision; therefore if they put up the painting they are going forth with that political position. End of...

Well shame on you guy's for going to the museum, you are no friend of mine. Even Cliff Chadderton the head of the War Amps and a WWII veteran is livid. This is an issue that should have the suport of all members of the forces and veterans, and the CAR was first established in WWII, and also...

The point is the Liberal government of the time used the press of what happened to disband an expensive unit when they where looking everywhere to cut spending. I would have no problem with the painting if the Canadian Airborne Regiment who at the time had between 700 and 1,000 men serving at...

Yes well how would you feel if it was your Regiment, I feel like a dog who has to get my nose shoved in the S**t.

The shame I refer to is the shame of disbandment.... It is a pain I suffer everyday, I was with the CAR a short time in the 70's but the disbandment hust as much as the members that where on parade....

What is hapenning is an outrage, there are 2 paintings depicting Clayton Matchee and Kyle Brown beating and torturing and killing that Somalian that will be in the new museum of Cliff Chadderton is livid. He is well known in the veteran community as well as head of War Amps Canada...

All badges, crests, logos of any unit name or title are owned by the government of Canada or you could also say the Crown and are administered by the local unit or CO of said unit. Because of the big demand as a tourist item the Crown has the same company that protects the rights of Disney...

3 Mech Commando was in Baden, 1 R22R was in Lahr. I do not know why they made 3 Mech Commando, they wore the Maroon Beret and the Canadian Airborne Regiment badge and so forth, but the majority where not jump qualified. At the time the Canadians where in the North in the British sector, But...

Yes you are right, but the Mk III are sized in English, that is why there are people who love them and hate them, you can see a metric size on the sole, but they issue them in English sizing, funny part is most of the staff who issue them do not know that. Myself I take a size 8 Running Shoe...

Thanks
