Well, I don't want this to become a pile on, or any more de-railed, but I feel that this is a significant issue: I think this is a horrible, terrible, really really bad idea. There is really only one fore-gone conclusion that will come of it. It would yield the smallest, cheapest, and least...

The issue of combat persistence is a perfectly valid one, but I'd probably take a long and deep breath before I went around saying that the F-15 has better sensors than the F-22, or that an F-15C is more capable of detecting a J-20 than an F-22. But this is just a BS discussion anyways, "We...

Didn't notice the competition until yesterday. Spent all day desperately trying to level up. Sooo jealous JohnTBay... looks like a fine tool you've won. I would also like to thank Tactown Gear for their generous sponsorship.

I wonder how big of a cut Air Canada got from that money? After all, they probably didn't get their booking fee, their handling charge, their check-in fees, etc  >:D

I would like to see the CP-140's replaced with: 8 x P-8 6 x RQ-4 And so, in accordance with site guidelines (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/44917.0.html), ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tasks and...

CANADIAN ARMY TO BUILD GIANT MISSILES TO LAUNCH SPY SATELLITES OVER CANADA Jan 5, 2011, Sarcastic Press The Canadian military has requested billions of dollars from the Federal Government, fresh on the back of billions of dollars in cuts to social welfare programs, to bult new missiles of an...

Ummmm... Japan spends much more money on their military than we do. They are also in the process of building a PAC-3 -based missile defence system to protect largely against NK missiles. We contribute essentially nothing to east asian security. Oh, and in case you forgot, Japan basically...

How did ww3's post count go to zero? Shame?

Hey! Hey CHINA!! Where do you think you're going? YOU invited this ***hole to the party!! And when he got slammed and started getting out of hand, you were all like "No no, he's cool, he's not normally like this". Well, he's gone completely off the f***ing handle, he's taking swings at...

Airbus have no-one but themselves (and Europrop) to blame for losing orders. Hard to cancel orders for aircraft that were delivered in a reasonable timeframe, and have been on the ramp for 5 years.

Hmmm... I can't say that I approve of the UAE trying to bend us over the barrel. But I also can't approve of comrpomising military operations, and increasing the costs of an already enormously expensive operation in order to protect the margins of an incompetently run business. Air Canada...

A lot of the reason that the Canadian Forces and the USMC are mentioned in the same sentance is that the USMC seems to be the pre-eminent single branch combined arms force in the world. Since the CF (on paper, anyways) is also trying to be a single-branch combined arms force, it only makes sense...

I had previously decided (for privacy reasons) to not tie in my facebook account to my Army.ca account. However, I am now so hopelessly addicted to this game that my common sense has long since departed... So how do I connect my Army.ca account to my facebook account now? Is it still possible...

Proper order. There are certain times and places where asking a woman to temporarily remove a veil/burkha is appropriate for identification purposes. Now, is this a good time to dig up the 'headgear in a Legion hall' issue  ;D ?

If indeed the rumours of his kidney failure are true, then Mr bin Laden probably does not need dialysis any more. Life expectancy for a dialysis patient of his age is about 5-6 years. He has either had a kidney transplant at some point in the last 10 years (in which case he no longer requires...

This is a disgrace. This is undignified, and I am appalled apalled really upset. My analogy is Ontario's "women are allowed to go topless" rule. Ontario women are allowed to show their breasts in public. But some of them will have abusive and controlling husbands/male relatives, who will force...

You might be surprised. The F-35 and F-32 prototypes were hand-built in only a few months. And these were the first examples ever made, not the product of a well-oiled production line. The fact is that the production line of most military aircraft are intentionally slowed by politicians. If you...

So we should get rid of the Highland regiments, because they reinforce the concept of 'Scottish-Canadians'?

Do we have enough Nepalese-Canadians to muster a Gurkha Bn? In all seriousness, I actually do support having units with ethnic affiliations. I can say for certain that nearly every member of my extended family has at least given consideration to joining our familial regiment, and several have...

When chicken number 1 hatches, we'll have him nest on the top shelf. And when chicken number 2 hatches, we'll have her nest on the bottom shelf. And when chicken number 3 hatches, we'll have him nest next to chicken number one on the top shelf. We'll eat chicken number 4, because it will be...
