In a desperate, although misguided, attempt to increase the number of tanks the good folks in bravo company realised "it doesn't work like that".

I did a google search,  I couldn't find the article you're talking about.  So without knowing any of the facts of the story or even what the story is about or the topic being discussed ... I'll throw my two cents in: Children are compelled to attend school.  They don't have a choice,  they must...

(*)warning - this is a light hearted post, I repeat this is a light hearted post. (*) Have you ever seen a show called Family Feud?  I just had a thought for a funny skit on 'This hour has 22 minutes'.  The host asks "Question: how are are troops viewed in Afghanistan" NDP buzz in "Immoral...

With respect,  you'll likely be waiting a while.  He'll dismiss the poll as biased - people are afraid of the pollers therefore they gave positive feedback or the sample size is to small or even "It doesn't matter what they think,  we know they don't want us there" (I have heard that one...

I know many Liberals who support the mission in Afghanistan.  There is a bit of a "demographics" problem inside of the Liberal camp.  Those that are left leaning Liberal/NDP don't want the mission to continue past 2009.  Those that believe in the mission tend to be Liberal center/Tory.  The...

I happen to agree with you 100%.  I deal with anti-war people all the time.  And yes they would take the position that just because you're not in danger of being forced to go (yet) that you should still do the right thing and speak up for "the better way". From their point of view it is a...

I think he was making fun of a promanent "war resister".  But I do tend to be tendentious.

We just did PWT 1 & 2 at my unit. PWT 1  yes all 5 shots count,  not best 4 of 5.  The pass mark used to be 17/25,  it is now 15/25

I've tried to not post on this topic,  but I have to agree that it is common practice for the Canadian government to give rough outlines and suggested talking points to visiting dignitaries.  It allows them to understand how to make the best impression possible while visiting here. (We even do...

It is hard when someone you love doesn't believe in the mission.  It does seem that they do respect eachother's opinions though. 

Ship them off to Alberta,  we have a wicked labour shortage.  Completely wicked labour shortage.  I'm 100% serious.

I'm glad no one was hurt also  (I'm sure we all agree on this point save a few who will wish the one(s)who plated that device got hurt... but moving on) I'm no expert,  but that does look like a HUGE explosion.  I'm thinking it was buried to deep. 

I do have to agree... but this is the first I've heard of these new requirements.  I just did and qualified PWT I II & III this summer.

Gadng Nabbit!  Here I was fussing about what design would be best ... Good work! 

I think I have a new t-shirt idea! .... My only question is "with photograph" or without?

We all saw this coming.  Unfortunately this current government is ... lacking in its ability to properly convey the proper messages it has on Afghanistan in the mass media.  Out of a 40 minute speech,  the 30 second sound byte that implies "support us, support this war or you are a traitor" is...

I've given this thread a quick sweep,  I don't know if anyone has brought up the report to Parliament on the progress in Afghanistan. http://geo.international.gc.ca/cip-pic/afghanistan/docs/260207_Report_E.pdf (En francais...

I didn't bring my webbing,  but I had a tac-vest

.... I like Poutiene,  why are you using it the same way I'd use a disparaging term for some of my bodily waste? I just ran into a friend of mine,  he's works for the NDP's campain (back in Toronto for the provincial election).  Anti-afghanistan mission sentiment isn't as entrenched as one...

That 51% isn't spread evenly throughout the support for different political parties.  Ie 51% of NDP/liberal potential supporters don't support the war.  The ndp wanted to steal Liberal votes by being the only national party against the war.  Last election their "lend us your vote" campain was...
