    Canada 150th Anniversary of Confederation Medal

    A bronze SSI, so more time at sea than a lot of folks in the navy. How much sea time you got there, pal?

    The Canadian Peacekeeping Myth (Merged Topics)

    I haven't seen these indicators myself.  Can you elaborate?

    Royal Canadian Air Force headed to mission in Africa ‘very soon’: top general

    The Comments Sections are best avoided, but occasionally you come across a little gem: Go Ruxted!!

    Public awareness of Canadian military drops, according to DND polling data

    Metric won't work...too many syllables makes it too clunky of a slogan.

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Like the myriad of other issues that the military does not prepare us for, we rely on our Canadian/Western democratic value system. I have made it through 25 years of service without once witnessing murder, for example, and without the CAF spending ANY time "preparing" me for it, but I still...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Exactly. And those recruits move up the ranks, continuing to be completely fucking TONE DEAF to the current situation.  Christ Almighty is right.

    List of file numbers

    Agreed.  it is kind of like spamming the CR. Also, if there is a response, and the respondent decides to only use one of your file numbers, then the memo in the other file will be useless.

    Naval High Collar White Tunic

    Really?  I have always worn my US tunic with my CF pants...never had an issue and I don't appear different than anyone else.  Perhaps everyone is wearing US tunics and CF pants Luke007 - YES, get a US one if you can.  750 bucks from Andrie is highway robbery.  not sure what a US one costs these...

    Airfield defence role for PRes? (From: "Re-Royalization")

    Thats a pretty big assumption, that does't appear to totally jive with the experience of the other two elements. Just for argument's sake: would you feel differently about this if it did indeed require (or end up) cutting more tooth than tail?  Are you ready to give up operating capability for...

    NATO response to Russian sabre rattling

    This. This is a perfect example of what plagues this country: the vast majority of the general public doesn't care about foreign policy, and knows even less about it.  They are too busy keeping up with the Kardashians to actually care about boring stuff like Canada's strategic interests or...

    CF-188 Hornet, Canada's jet fighter

    I agree, to a point, but I think the politicians were and are simply responding to the fickle will of the populace.  The constituency that actually cares about a new fighter aircraft is tiny and doesn't affect the outcome of any electoral contest.  Plus, most Canadians despise any and all things...

    Politics in 2016

    As you and I have discussed, he wot be any worse for us than Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton will be for the United States.  In 4 or 8 years the United States will be in roughly the same position they are now.  In x years, so will we.  Marginally better or worse but nothing drastic.  Besides, as is...

    HMCS Montréal part of navy trial to experiment with reducing crews

    And this, in my opinion, is the crux of the issue.  "Fight-Move-Float" isn't a just a catchy phrase, it is the spectrum of Command priorities at any given moment in time. Does every ship in the RCN need to be able to Fight at all times?  Absolutely not.  Does it even need to be able to Move at...

    US Election: 2016

    A politician retracting, revising or otherwise clarifying a ststaement, or even policy, is nothing new or really surprising, particuarly during an election campaign. I think Mrs. Clinton's reversal of her stance on TPP is a much larger issue, for example.

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    I don't know...I question the...necessity (I guess that would be the word) for the Guardian (or any other media outlet) to show these kinds images, other than because "if it bleeds, it leads".  What is the public good that is accomplished?  Are ISIL-inspired terrorist events something the...

    US Election: 2016

    Simply put, he is a much, much better salesman than the other mental midgets who are running - on both sides of the political spectrum.  He has a slicker sales pitch, he is far better at manipulating the media, and he is a better public speaker.  In an election campaign, THOSE are the things...

    Politics in 2016

    I think you will find this is far, far more wide-spread than just those two sectors of the work force Again, I don't think this is restricted to religious fundamentalists or white men only...this is something that happens across many (most? all?) cultures, races and countries, regardless of...
