    Sniper/Long Range Rifles

    For you it looks like even finding the dnd site is challenging, the link you posted is to a Simon Fraser University site, hence the www.sfu.ca domain name. The Canadian American Strategic Review (CASR) department and its DND 101 overview has no direct ties with DND that I am aware of. cheers.

    Africa Breeding Ground For Al- Qaida Recruits Warns CSIS, As Canada Deploys..

    I think that one piece of the puzzle that is often overlooked by many is not the actual recruitment of individuals but the methods of funding for various terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah that are in fact operating in many parts of Africa. In countries like Sierra Leone for...

    Canadian Airborne Regiment?

    Judging by his early posts here, I think it's just a curious kid in High School....however, I wouldn't put it past some to 'play the part' for more info. (should I put my tinfoil hat on now? ;)) Anyways Rubes, take Ryhno's advice, do a little searching...one thread will not have all the answers...

    Better pay for skilled personnel one way to lure recruits to forces

    I don't really agree with this statement, to me there is(should be) no competition with a civil trade, one should want to be a soldier, airmen or seamen first and a tradesperson second. If they are joining the CF in order to learn how to fix computers, vehicles or whatever then of course, there...

    Reservists in AFG (merged)

    So how secret is secret? With a bit of research as a rather informed civi I can make a pretty good guesstimate as to where Camp Mirage is located...it seems as though a few of the those involved have been a little bit lazy on the OPSEC :o. Not to reveal anything here but down to the actual...

    Chopper shot down, crew executed....

    I must say I haven't exactly done a ton of research on the correaltion between the two (violence and the media)...but after reading Grossman's "On Killing" it certainly gave me a new prespective and a few things to think about in regards to this. IMO I think KevinB has summed this up nicely...

    Chopper shot down, crew executed....

    Got any other suggestions? I don't think any one thinks it would be easy, just out of curiousity where did you serve and with whom, or is the covert info classified? You must be a very elderly lady from hell.

    Why do CF Pilots need a degree?

    That comment just touched on the thread of a recent article I read on CNN regarding Einstein, to briefly quote... One crucial aspect of Einstein's training that is overlooked, says Notre Dame science historian Don Howard, is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager -- Kant, Schopenhauer...

    The Special Recon Regt

    *Warning* about to drift out of my lane! ;D I believe the term 'Recon' is the abbreviation used by Americans as well as a few others, ie. Marines Force Recon. 'Recce' I think is a Canadian abv., i'm sure a few others can shed more light on it than this though cheers.

    Google Maps - take a look

    The only way i've found so far is to do a screen capture, unfortunately it will also grab all the browser toolbars etc. I don't think doing this for personal use would be a copyright issue as the image is watermarked anyways. Try this link though - http://imageatlas.globexplorer.com/ ...it's...
