No. All Division command and deputy command positions are full time.

That is not correct. 2nd Division will have the same structure as well. The Comd will be a MGen in time.

Next up, Skyhawks.

Has it reached the point where we call this war a farce?

Serious enough that separatist parties that ran candidates in the last provincial election finished in fourth (or lower) place in almost every riding, behind the NDP and the Green Parties parties. The Wildrose Independence Party had about the same electoral success as the Communist Party (third...

Not numbered treaties, but there are historical treaties in the SLV pre-dating Confederation.

At this point, I'm apt to agree with you so as to simply quite the noise and get on with thngs. That said, in Quebec, the separatist group formed a party and won elections on a mandate to run a referendum, so they cleared a far higher bar that I highly doubt the Alberta groups could.

As I am engaged in exercises to re-equip and re-organize, I constantly marvel at how poorly equipped we've been for my entire career. Amateur hour.

Probably. It takes 20 seconds of scanning the average comments section of a political themed post on Twitter to realize that "JennyPhillipsfromMarkham" with a two-year old account that has 7,000 posts over that time, and every single one calling down the actions of the government, is either a...

It's this one.

I was more referring to the commentary writ large than the posts on this thread. I see some disingenuous posts on social media stating that more US soldiers died from the flu in WWI than from combat, which neglects to mention that it was the Spanish Influenza, one of the worst global pandemics...

Hmm...here were the first few comments. "He really wants to go back to the Civil War doesn't he." "Compared to our policy of mandatory flu vaccinations for the CAF, it does seem like an oversight." "Not sure when 'conservative' became 'regressive' but here we are." So is the CAF a regressive...

He's right though - people point to the new US policy and say it's sending the US back into the stone age, when the CAF has the same policy and we seem to do fine.

Is this what winning looks like?

He's winning the war so much that he has to tell us about it 5 weeks after he said they had already won the war.

It's a bunch of college interns writing for some Neocon left-behinds. I don't usually pay any attention to what they write.

As usual, ISW is 2 weeks behind the time and just copying other people's work. There were some good articles on Vahidi's rise a few weeks back, and how the regime was changing from one where a Parliament worked under the supervision of the Ayatollahs to a more hardline dictatorship by the IGRC.

Probably. I'd offer that its anchoring bias based on a career of using a service rifle. It's certainly where I am coming from at this as I am not a pistol guy in my spare time. For as long as I've been in, a weapon is readied and is on safe, and is removed from safe when it is fired and then...

That's what I meant when I said "weird psychology."

"Real" purple is the ability to fuse effects across multiple domains on a common target or objective, and to sustain that effort. We dress people up differently and water down their training so they can go to the same school and then call it "purple."
