The American colonel, Harry Summers, told his Vietnamese counterpart: "You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield." The Vietnamese colonel, Nguyễn Đôn Tự, thought about it and replied: "That may be so. But it is also irrelevant."

One of the six GOs is a reservist, but these are full time positions and not designated for any specific ARes function.

I don't no how it doesn't answer the question. The Comd and DComds of the divisions are full-time in their respective HQs, posted to the area. There will not be "ARes DComds" who do remote Class A days. Not sure of the new name. It (and some of its tasks) will remain as a deployable C2 element...

It follows allied practice for operational divisions (a game to which we are fairly new to). The UK does this, and US Divisions now have 3x DCGs. I'm not justifying the concept, only pointing out that we are not just making stuff up.

No. All Division command and deputy command positions are full time.

That is not correct. 2nd Division will have the same structure as well. The Comd will be a MGen in time.

Next up, Skyhawks.

Has it reached the point where we call this war a farce?

Serious enough that separatist parties that ran candidates in the last provincial election finished in fourth (or lower) place in almost every riding, behind the NDP and the Green Parties parties. The Wildrose Independence Party had about the same electoral success as the Communist Party (third...

Not numbered treaties, but there are historical treaties in the SLV pre-dating Confederation.

At this point, I'm apt to agree with you so as to simply quite the noise and get on with thngs. That said, in Quebec, the separatist group formed a party and won elections on a mandate to run a referendum, so they cleared a far higher bar that I highly doubt the Alberta groups could.

As I am engaged in exercises to re-equip and re-organize, I constantly marvel at how poorly equipped we've been for my entire career. Amateur hour.

Probably. It takes 20 seconds of scanning the average comments section of a political themed post on Twitter to realize that "JennyPhillipsfromMarkham" with a two-year old account that has 7,000 posts over that time, and every single one calling down the actions of the government, is either a...

It's this one.

I was more referring to the commentary writ large than the posts on this thread. I see some disingenuous posts on social media stating that more US soldiers died from the flu in WWI than from combat, which neglects to mention that it was the Spanish Influenza, one of the worst global pandemics...

Hmm...here were the first few comments. "He really wants to go back to the Civil War doesn't he." "Compared to our policy of mandatory flu vaccinations for the CAF, it does seem like an oversight." "Not sure when 'conservative' became 'regressive' but here we are." So is the CAF a regressive...

He's right though - people point to the new US policy and say it's sending the US back into the stone age, when the CAF has the same policy and we seem to do fine.

Is this what winning looks like?

He's winning the war so much that he has to tell us about it 5 weeks after he said they had already won the war.

It's a bunch of college interns writing for some Neocon left-behinds. I don't usually pay any attention to what they write.
