Actually @medicineman and I got taught that one from someone who used to shoot them.

It got a collective yawn from the world. The Carl Vincennes shooting down flight 655 and lack of world outrage was viewed as a key reason that Iran realized that Iraq could continue to gas Iran to the end of the earth and no one cared, leading to the Iranian acceptance of the Iraqi peace...

3 can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead…

Rock, Paper, Scissors continues. Oh wow look FPV SUAS less than 2.5% PK

Sad regardless.

Well we do have a bunch of Aegis ships…

It ain’t got nothing on the St Lawrence…

Damn some of you guys would love to be living in Logan’s Run world.

Clearly for folks who question things like that… I keep waiting for Texas and California to unite. Life reads more like the scott of Civil War each day.

The British manage to do it. While apart from some glaring standouts, they do it well. Not mutually exclusive. That is something I think you need regardless. No, which is part of why the RCMP lost the role as I understand it, and CSIS formed. Can Canada use CANSOF internally for any...

Well okay - nothing Evil Authoritarian Dictator like at all... https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2026/09/20/triumphal-arch-in-washington-to-serve-as-military-complex-trump-says/?utm_campaign=dfn-ebb&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sailthru

That’s a mighty big statement. Post WW2 it’s generally been seen better to interdict opponents in their home, or at least not ours. Canada has a volunteer military. No one is being conscripted. The difference between North America and Europe….

I’m a firm believer that it is better to have the capability, and not need it, than need the capability and not have it. Canada has a long history of developing capabilities during crisis or war - refining them - then tossing them away. Also I made a typo above - which I gather everyone...

The reason I don’t think it’s a CANSOF role is you don’t yet have an off the books method for hiding military. Even Assaulters at the Hill aren’t off the fully books. You can’t send military personnel to do some of the things you may need to get done. Spies are in a different...

I would suggest you also need a way to do more than just HUMINT, including some things Canada doesn’t like to admit occurs in the world. Sabotage and Assassination being things I think need to be available when needed.

I’d argue the Iranians had some of the best Lessons Learned from GW1 and GWOT...

One man’s failure is another’s doctrine. https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/Portals/10/AUPress/Books/B_0160_DOUHET_THE_COMMAND_OF_THE_AIR.pdf

CLIBG Oh now you know expect the CA to have a TO&E for a Light Infantry entity AND a LAV based one. Geez. Your asking for a lot. For years the only difference was someone had crossed out the LAV’s in the picture

Which is something that any lawyer or contracts person in competitors will use to suggest the solicitation was rigged.

I did that once. In my defense I had no idea that office (of the mutual Mustache) at the Pentagon was a SCIF But under this administration it’s par for the course. As long as didn’t mean to invite the wrong guy to the Signal group call… The Air Force has admitted in briefings that they...
