I am cutting and pasting this segment from the same website. I think this paragraph is particularly telling: "In recent years, the PLAN's maritime mission has evolved from a role of static coastal defence to one of “active offshore defence”. In this capacity, the PLAN can be used both as a...

Actually, Earl, most of us do not think you are nuts. I hope everyone takes a minute to think and appreciate the sacrifice Cpl Bailey and his family are making. As well, I hope things work out for you Earl. Keep fighting the good fight.  :salute:

Gully makes a good point. I have often wondered why our SAR is so civilian role focused. In Canada, I think this should fall under another agency as it is not strictly a Defence role. I see SAR as having a role in any operation where we deploy air assets. Not only is it a safe guard of valuable...

Bigfoot, thanks for the correction. I sit corrected.  :salute:

Now that the Right Honourable Minister of Defence Gordon O'Connor, Carleton-Mississippi Mills, Ont. is in fact the MoD we all owe our loyalty to him. General Hillier is well adapt at working with and mentoring people to achieve the desired results. Fear not young Jedi.  :salute:

Congratulations Mike. You and  your team provide a great service with this website. I would hope that people that use it and appreciate the site would buy a subscription as a tangible way to show that support.  :salute:

Tomahawk the bigger issue in Canada is the general lack of support for the US invasion of Iraq. Unless there is a big mind-shift in that area I can not see any military support being offered. You make a good point about risk adversity and our senior commanders are educating the public now on...

I'm not sure but I think the third guy from the right is 3rd Herd!  ;D Its a great picture, please let us know if you get any other information on it.

I think this is one area we as a country, could contribute to the fight in Iraq. Hopefully, our newly elected government will understand the sooner, security is established under Iraqi leadership the sooner Iraq will be come more peaceful and productive. We have similar doctrine and...

i will wade in and offer my opinion. I think the picture gives clear direction of what is expected of anyone approaching and what the expected results. I am always leery of the second-guessing that happens after a soldier uses their weapon in what amounts to self-defence. Many of the same...

I try to be sensitive to others in all respects however, no mullah or imam seemed to be too put out with the video of the beheading of the American Nicholas Berg. I think perhaps to quote Hamlet and Queen Gertrude, "Doth protest too much!"  :salute:

Muffin, I think your Dad may have something here.  :salute:

#rd, those are all classic rules. I am a little shocked that you need special software to check out your students work. Doesn't anyone trust anyone anymore?

Yes, when the Canadian Airborne Regiment first formed the Paratrooper's Smock was a heavily Olive Drab, nylon type material. It was almost the same design as the more familiar camouflage smock the SSF started to wear.  :salute:

I did miss the most significant point and Tomahawk6 brought it out. Regardless of any Soldiers sexual orientation they have a duty not to bring discredit upon the Army. I am sure in a similar circumstance in Canada the Soldiers would be charged for "Conduct to the Prejudice of Good Order and...

I can't believe you don't collect Airmiles! Seriously, I would talk to your Unit Adjt and see if he/she would write a letter of explanation to the LCBO and explaining the validity of your ID Card. I would also send a letter of complaint to the LCBO head office. Both the Manager and "Lady"...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - U.S. army officials are investigating allegations members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division appear on a gay pornography website, a spokeswoman said Friday. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2006/01/27/1414933-ap.html Isn't it time the US Army realized that "don't...

First of all thank you moderaters for splitting the thread. I think time is up. Many of us have to learn our jobs on the fly. Leadership is about leading. The Governor General needs to show she is now the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Forces.  :salute:

This has been on my mind so I thought I would put it out for discussion. I find that our Governor General has done and said little in her role as Commander in Chief in regards to this incident. She did issue a statement following the death of Mr Berry and regrets the lose of life and the...
