    Canada Considering Sending Phalanx to Afghanistan

    It's not like they would get rid of it once the threat went away.  This would be another tool for future situations as well and, given the ability to program it, useful under many scenario's.  This is the same argument that was used by the Liberals to get rid of the Leopards because there was no...

    This is why Daddy drinks at Christmas

    A man's mind: Upon entering the mall, a guy recites in his head what he came to buy. Speakers for Ipod. Speakers for Ipod.  Oh look, a lingerie store.  Now, what was it she wanted again?  Right, she said lingerie. The extra caring husband will also throw in some beer to make the night really...

    NewPoll... Who should be our next Primeminister?

    Hmmm, I smell something fishy here.  First the head of Elections Canada suddenly resigns and now this.  I can see the hand of Harper in this.

    NewPoll... Who should be our next Primeminister?

    It has got to be Darth Vader, he has a really cool suit and make things move with the power of his mind.  Hillier, well, ummm, Vaders suit is still cooler. ;D

    Future Armour

    True.  I have not had a close look at the MGS, what is limiting the number of rounds?  16 is a not a lot [ edit to reflect what I actually meant to say

    Future Armour

    IIRC, the Cougar had a combat load of 40 rounds

    Canada Considering Sending Phalanx to Afghanistan

    Congrats.  Doesn't change the fact that they have already developed a ground based version so obviously, the dust won't kill it.

    Canada Considering Sending Phalanx to Afghanistan

    Have you?  You are out of your lane on this one.  The discussion is whether Canada will send them not whether it is feasible.  The fact that a land version already exists was pointed out earlier. Or if pretty pictures are more your style, try this.

    New World Order Conspiracy

    I have always found it interesting that the same group that call Bush an idiot are the same bunch that accuse him of perpetrating the greatest conspiracy of all time. As for the NWO, all this time and they still can't get it right.  UN, WHO, etc, if these are examples of their attempts at...

    Canada Considering Sending Phalanx to Afghanistan

    The problem, IMHO, is that all these solutions are for traditional counter-battery fire.  The problem with what the Taliban are doing is they are firing and taking off so by the time you have a solution for counter fire they are gone.  And, as pointed out earlier, they also like to use innocent...

    "Taliban Jack" T-Shirt Designs?

    The argument does remind me of a couple of stories though.  I once had a CO who went to an anti-gay protest in uniform.  The next day his picture was on the front page of the paper and a couple weeks later he was suddenly posted to Kingston.  I also knew a guy who was a member of the Canadian...

    This is why Daddy drinks at Christmas

    Ok, here's my situation.  My daughter has grown up and no longer lives at home so no more assembly projects to worry about right?  Nope, the evil child thinks it would be great fun to give me and her boyfriend this military figure that has to be completely assembled including the variety of...

    "Taliban Jack" T-Shirt Designs?

    Can we pick and choose our political protests, even in our off time, or does it apply to all, even Jack?  I would suggest to those that support the idea of wearing a t-shirt like this you must also be ready to defend the right of the opposing view to express their feelings as well.

    "Taliban Jack" T-Shirt Designs?

    Just to play devil's advocate, would we feel the same way if a soldier, not in uniform, wore a t-shirt with a Canadian flag and a no symbol over it? >:D

    Vehicle names

    Not exactly on topic but once had a Cougar everyone called the convertable because it didn't have a turret.

    mortar misfire drills

    That is the type of discipline we need in the modern army. I remember a couple of guys who used like to blow the stacks off the old immersion heaters.  SSM was not too impressed at being woke up at 5am to the sound of an explosion, go figure. ;D

    Berlin Mulls Deploying Spy Jets to Southern Afghanistan

    They may also be trying to get around the "national caveats" by bringing in troops and equipment to free up other NATO troops to go down south.  If they can expand their area of responsibility then others can move around.  Also, the use of the Luftwaffe for surveillance in the south I don't...
