Finding out that someone you know is no longer with us by seeing their picture on the news F&&&& ING SUCKS. It isn't possible to notify everyone who knew a soldier, no matter of how close, but news organisations should respect that the families need to be notified before announcements are made -...

I voted yes...  at 02:01 Do you think Canadian soldiers should be in Afghanistan? Yes  60.84%  No  39.16% 

True enough,  but now insted of three newspapers,  we have 10 000 bloggers 30 channels for news promoting a tendentious stance,  or full length documentaries dedicated to destroying an opposing point of view.

well I know they are putting more stuff into Mod 3 - beefing up Urban Ops.  If you can only do 10 Weeks,  only go for 10 weeks.  CAP is done in Modules,  Mod 5 being last (and the easiest)  In the GTA 32 Brigade Battel school used to offer it decentralised.  There were lots of people who only...

http://foxattacks.com I came across this video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-eyuFBrWHs It was extremely ironic because I had this exact conversation with an American friend on mine two days ago.  And I did enjoy this...

Okay.... Um .... so many problems,  where to start Since when could American speak French ;-)

Personally,  I love the large scale showing of support.  I LOVE it.   Unfortunately, I find that  those against the afghan mission, get more settled in their beliefs and those who are undecided tend to lean against the mission. To understand how to persuade people you need to look at their...

Okay,  CAP is unlike other courses.... If you have been issued something that is on the Kit list BRING IT.  On my CAP I brought stuff on the kit list,  they did an inspection to see that I had everything on the list.  For a pair of missing gloves (I stuffed them in my shoes to make room and...

If we have the same Parliament in 2009, I'll be shocked.  I can't envision a situation where there isn't an election next year.  I really can't.  In fact I'm shocked we still have this one. I'm going to say something radical here,  so get those mice over that "demote" link. What if the Tories...

With respect,  they (several people I spoke to as well as official NDP policy)  tried to have it both ways a while ago.  Insisting that we pull out of Afghanistan while demanding that we go into Darfur.  It was then I decided that that they are more interested in being "against the man" than...

First let me thank your team for the responses.  It is nice to see it in writing.  Now I know the regulars around here are a little rough around the edges - caddy quips are the norm around here - please don't take it overly seriously.  I ask that you do like me and argue substance rather than...

Wow,  I go away for a few days and 5 pages get added! I am glad that the very people we were talking about showed up.  I am looking forward to their responces.  Normally when I talk to an anti-afghanistan/NDP/... person it is one on one. Usually their arguments go along these lines: "We are...

I'm sorry you went through such a painfull experence.  With that said, thank you for sharing - I laughed so hard I cried.

I am a touchy feely kinda of person for sure. If he looked like he needed a hug, I'd likely give him one. (I'm not saying I wouldn't have a stern talk with him and call his actions into question... I'm saying if he needed one, I'd *maybe* give him a hug)  I'd even give a hug to those mean police...

Now,  it comes down to it, I feel sorry for him.  If I'm right and he did this to fool himself out of his shame ... he is now suffering.  I think he thought he would say what he said then fade away - now that is is famous, and quoted all the time,  he has to live with what deep down he knows to...

For us, yes. Maybe not for him. Keep in mind when you fail at something,  you can either look deep within you and see your own flaws or you can find an excuse.  This way he isn't an Ocdt who failed at CAP, he is a conscientious objector who's being persecuted by the system. It comes with a...

I've seen people pull similar stunts on their writing punishments - it always goes badly and they seem to get it more.  For me, not that I don't do everything in my power to not need correcting, I just pull back from the subject and talk in broad terms. Very broad, very uninteresting terms. ...

That is exactly what I thought when I saw that photo.  And I do mean to compliment both of them with that statement.

When I saw 17 Steps of battle procedure I got really sad.  I just got off a course that taught us 15 steps and I thought "Oh god they changed it already?"  Thankfully I read the rest of the thread and found out I'm still current with my 15.  a23trucker Posted exactly what I was taught - and yes...
