    Do we need Cadets? Should they be military/uniformed? (split from Trump administration 2024-2028)

    Every former cadet I work with must have missed that memo.

    AI usage in responses

    The problem is that the AI spam wall post is presented not as opinion but as fact. I think at a minimum AI posts should always include the prompt used. As others have eluded to ChatGPT, and other AI, save your data and history to "improve interactions." Its given you an editorializing view based...

    Future Helicopters

    Oh so just completely retrofit the helicopter and have it do a new mission. That will certainly be efficient, cost effective, timely, and result in an effective product.

    Infantry Vehicles

    Zulu harbour, is a waste of an asset. Flank security is a better use. When we work dismounted the LAVs are expected to be doing other tasks. Be that flank security, a feint, or part of counter moves. I expect any future IFV or APC to do the same vs being wasted in harbours. And yet in Ukraine...

    Infantry Vehicles

    I dont look at IFV / APCs as having to fight solely while "full" and in close proximity. Im coloured by our own doctrine in that regard. I expect them to move and fight while the section is out of them, especially if we are in the defensive.

    Exponentially? No. Firstly we are talking about two options that would involved, presumably, the same number of drivers - a transport company that can provided protected lift to a Bn. Since we already have structures thay assume drivers and crew within a Bn that doesnt seem logical. The...

    Infantry Vehicles

    Two man AFV crews died in WW2 for a good reason. If we expect this thing to be up on the advance moving and shooting it needs a dedicated commander.

    Then orbat the Bn X more people. Same difference as having a transport company at Bde, which I have to constantly request.

    The CARBs are supposed to support the CMBGs, they'll need to move some how. Honestly the reserves need enough of anything to move around, be that pick up trucks of senators, for home defence. However how you do that with no real structure takes us back to that circular argument about...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    Correct. I've probably said it before but Trump seems utterly incapable of accounting for the effects of his ramblings onto other countries domestic politics. He makes the policy changes he's trying to push for so unaplletable to the targeted countries body politic that is completely counter...

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    Ajax is virtually unique from ACOD II. Famously reliable. You dont think they've learned for the Ukranians, who are the number one user of the Senator? Like that seems like a bit of field experience.

    Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

    You think Patria is a small company? Its a subsidiary of Konsberg jointly owned by Finland lol. I dont know what you mean by "clean sheet" or why it really matters. Latvia and Finland joint ordered for 1 million USD each so 800k Euro. Which is still double the price of a Senator.... for a...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Buffalo Well it was also unpopular in Alberta where Edmonton and Calgary both didnt accept regina as a capital, and proposed by the Govenor of the NWT, he suggested himself of premier in a stunning display of self sacrifice for public service.
