While Christopher Lee (and Peter Cushing) may have been great actors and responsible for much of the success of the Dracula genre, let's be honest. People of my generation (okay, specifically men of my vintage) were primarily attracted to Hammer films because they combined horror with what...

Clickbait, perhaps? Col Collins made the comments (and they were reported) back when the red-haired one's book came out in 2023. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/06/army-veterans-criticise-prince-harry-claim-killed-25-taliban-afghanistan Date/Time of the Guardian piece Fri 6 Jan...

No. In France one is presumed innocent until proved guilty. The popular misconception to the opposite is that the trial system is different, being an inquisitive (investigative) process (vice the adversarial nature of common law jurisdictions) with the judge being a trier (and investigator) of...

How about here? Disclosure of Personal Relationships 4.5 If a personal relationship develops in a prohibited circumstance, or CAF members who have an ongoing or former personal relationship are placed in prohibited circumstances, the CAF members involved must disclose the personal relationship...

When I count the years, it seems a little "mists of time" but about this time of the year 36 years ago I was in DC on the "Washington School Tour*". The briefing meeting at State for the Canadian officers (there were three of us - a LCol, a Maj and a Capt) was with the desk officer (and member)...

It's an easy mindset to maintain and operate equipment when you have it. The major hurdle is acquiring the kit. All those Militia units were equipped with WW2 surplus vehicles, having been issued them from the training stock that remained in Canada during the war and later having them replaced...

A couple of videos about training for Heimatschutz. While they may be a bit short on specifics, does provide a sense of the training intensity (or lack of intensity) and motivation of directly enrolled reservists. Both are in German, but the first one is auto-dubbed in English if viewed on YT...

So it is possible, based on your experience, that the Public Safety Minister saying that the RCMP said "no foreign interference" may not actually be what the RCMP said to him? It's not like there has been history of disagreement between the RCMP and the Minister about the Minister making...

I was there 90-92, when I went up to Baden for a year to close that and returned to Lahr in 93 until closure in 94. I think they were still armed during the Gulf War (early 91 - increased security, including armed guards on the school buses, but that task was done by the Van Doos). The weapons...
