Or how many votes they have gained, given the extremely easily led Canadian public

Hey, I need some help on this one.  How do I get to be an 'expert' so that I can go on TV and talk about things that I can claim to know a lot about?  Seriously, I guarentee I know less about more than the 'experts' they have there now. One wonders why Taliban Jack spouts off the crap he does. ...

If ya don't like the thread...don't read it.  I am sure there are some threads that others think are a waste of time, but they don't bother reading them.  Let people discuss what they want, hence the forum enviroment!

+1 Head, and your drills were excellent.  Especially since you let your crew commander shoot as well.  Right on.  Apparently the best time ever.  Word!

If the Germans aren't allowed to fight, or other nations as well, does that mean that we have to be pussie too?  Great, other countries don't want to fight, more for us.

I agree. Walk around any base, or unit and there are always the 'heavier folk'.  But are they a minority or majority? Depends where you look really.  Guess thats what happens when we fail to do proper fitness testing bi annually.  When failing a PT test  seems like no big deal because nothing...

Ake Ake Kia Kaha Well done Bill.

Define 'proper training'.  You can get all SOPs down pat for all types of scenario.  Ambush, IED, convoy escort, etc, but as the saying goes, it all turns to kaka afterr the first round.  Not to mention that the conflict is ever evolving, so the SOPs need to as well.  Counter insurgency is a...

"remedied by proper training." Give me a break!!!  It does happen, and training does not prepare you for everything.  If 'proper training' was the answer to everything then we would have had no casulties in Astan.  Things happen that have never happened to you before and everyone reacts...

It is sad to read the news these days, waht with all the political crap about pulling out of Afgahnistan in 2009.  Popular opinion is against the war, so what.  The way that this new policy on Afghanistan is playing out is going to kill the Canadian Army.  Who wants to be part of an organisation...

To all people who want to ban smoking in all CF areas and bases and exercise and operations.  Fine, go and tell that young Private who has just been in his first firefight that he cannot have a cigarette.  There are bigger things to worry about in the CF than who smokes where and around who.  We...

I look at it this way, if ya didn't like it the first time, chances are pretty good you won't like it a second time. Ya pulled off or got out for whatever reasons.  Thats your personal problem, not something that nees to be plastered over the internet, regardless of what type of forum.  It...

So he says that the enemy can smell smoke, and follow spit stains on the ground that haven't already evapourated in the 60 degree weather.  Well, I guess i better bottle my pee and bag my shyte and hump it out of Afghanistan so that they don't gather int value from my shyte contents.  We could...

Very much like the problems that could be associated with the implementation of all the time field pay for line units.  And looking at the CFTEP, cbt arms qualifies in all those areas.  Saying that it would cost too much is avery political answer.  Much like how all the big Garrisons don't...

Agreed that it is everybodies duty to ask questions.  More in relation to a specific person, item, event for future planning at higher levels.

Spec pay has always been a touchy area.  Who gets it and why?  And noone really can give a good answer.  Too many times it is used more as a retention mechanism for trades rather that an acknowledgement of their skills.  But with the ongoing war onterror, there has been highlighted a new bunch...

Just as you need evidence that proves he/she is not a terrorist.  We will probably give all these clowns 10 million as well, just to make them feel better.  Any hint of terror needs to be dealt with harshly and quickly with no remorse. 

As for the 17 that were locked up for the possible attack in Toronto, now only two are still in custordy.  Due to public whining and Amnesty International, all others were released back into the public.  How very Canadian.

Taking over the world...one name at a time.  I agree with Hale.  Some things just need to be summed up!

Understood, but I have to let you know that we all learn from these types of comments based on perception.  An outside view can sometimes work wonders, and resolve issues.  Like I stated, it was not an MP bash.  A lot of MPs have forgotten what the M stands for, and thats the issue.  Spec pay...
