The two week delay simply reflects the length of time it takes (up to 10 working days, actually) to process the pay actions once they've been input in the pay system by the unit OR.   The pay actions put in the system are checked by the system for accuracy, validated, the necessary deductions...

I'll point out one thing that immediately strikes me with respect to your argument - the Abu Gharaib (and alledged Guantanamo) abuses were not committed by combat soldiers but by rear-area types, and in the case of what is alleged in Guantanamo, includes civilians.    To say that combat...

Our governments get elected on the promise of new programs not the promise of good governance.  If Canadians actually cared more about having a sanely run government instead of more entitlements and hand-holding by the state, we might go somewhere.  In the case of day care, the simple, most...

There is a distinction between being captured in combat and detained according to the Geneva Convention - and torture.   "Bleeding hearts" aside, treating enemy prisoners in a degrading manner degrades the claims we hold to being "better" than the Islamist barbarians who mistreat and murder...

Which means flogging a dead horse would be considered an acceptable fetish-type activity?  :P

Perhaps the horse was gay... who knows  ::)

helene, j'essaie de répondre à ton dernier message par PM, mais le système me dit que ta limite est atteinte.   Si tu veux continuer à discuter, efface les PM dans ta boite ou envoie moi une autre adresse de courriel.   Sinon, j'ai une suggestion pour toi...

Et alors pourquoi le dire?  Pour choquer, soulever des réactions?  C'est réussi.  Peut-être aurait-il été mieux de dire ce que tu voulais dire sans provoquer, c'est à dire définir ton point de vue comme tu viens de le faire.  Si tu provoques, attends toi à recevoir des réponses abruptes. ...

Et voici un exemple parfait de ce qui est de travers dans notre société, que ce soit au Québec ou ailleurs - une peuplade assises sur son cul qui attend qu'on les sert.  Et qui va servir la peuplade?  Les cons qui pensent que servir son pays est honorable.  Si servir ton pays est contraire à...

The regimental website of the regiment is http://www.12rbc.ca/index.html It's only in French, however

No - what Martin understands is his need to pander to his constituency - those who would suckle the teat of the nanny-state and for whom the promise of more gubmint cheese means the purchase of a vote.

Hmm, considering China's great interest in Sudan (and thus explaining her attitude on the UNSC in this respect) and its oil - coupled with Russia's and China's off and on frictions, Putin's aim could be directed towards making mischief for Beijing rather than Washington.

Umm, Dief the Chief was a pure blue Progressive Conservative, not a Gliberal.  The CF has been screwed over by both parties in equal measure over the years.

Terrorist orgs may or may not have subs - but countries that support terrorists, or whose military is sympathetic to them do... Iran and Pakistan come to mind immediately.  Plus there is that large number of surplus Russian subs sitting in places like Murmansk...  So it is hardly beyond the...

Gunner, might I point out that Adrienne Clarkson is the only head of state who had the decency and guts as Commander in Chief of any Armed Forces to spend the last several New Years with the troops in the FRY and Afghanistan?  Her husband John Ralston Saul has spent the last two New Year's Eves...

Buckshee is another of those linguistic gems the Brits picked up in India

Either Mr. Jimmy Bond is a troll or someone who's been rejected by RMC, but his arguments are garbage - and I am a graduate who has commanded troops in the field and earned their respect so I know whereof I speak.  Mr. Bond, someone of no discernible experience stating that RMC grad have their...

Anyone on a CF course can get mail.  The trick is for you to get the right address.

But they are fooling a lot of people - they get re-elected.  I wonder what that says about the collective IQ of the citizenry of our great nation.
