    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    You're quite right. As I recall "CASEVAC" is what units do to remove their wounded from the field of battle, eg, loaded up in a LAV, carried back to the CCP, etc. And "MEDEVAC" is when health services does it, eg, an ambulance with a Med Tech on board. As for Med TN, I imagine someone taking a...

    Given that a potential adversary that is not a signatory to certain conventions, I would offer that the evac chain ought to be armoured.

    Pope Francis- Medical Issues/Death April 20/ 2025

    Leo XIV seems to be angering people on both the right and the left. That means he's probably going to be a good pope.

    Pope Francis- Medical Issues/Death April 20/ 2025

    You forget that Peter went to Rome, the heart of the Empire that was occupying the Holy Land. And in 1978, a Pope from Communist Poland was chosen.

    is 60 too old to serve in any capacity?

    1: Yes, you're too old. 2: You'd be a hindrance if you ever decided to join and if it came to a fight. 3: Why didn't you enlist, you know, during the actual war? 4: Nobody is threatening our sovereignty. Except China. But nobody wants to seem to talk about that now, do they?

    Pope Francis- Medical Issues/Death April 20/ 2025

    "Not a bad guy...for a Catholic" Go [retracted] yourself. It's spicy enough on its own.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The bill aims to protect criminal illegal aliens. So much for citizenship. But yeah, "Orange Man Bad".

    Yeah, I read it. I stand by what I said. And that article is a tad...slanted. Conflating criminal illegal aliens with immigrants is a key indicator.

    Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. Regulating immigration doesn't make one...

    Reconstitution

    Because physical fitness is a job requirement for the CAF. As stated, class A ought to (in my opinion) get gratis Gym Memberships if a CAF fitness facility is not nearby. Also, civilians cannot be ordered into harm's way, in peace or in war. For those who don't like this, I do note that the...

    Reconstitution

    Agreed. All I can say that in my unit, there are 2 x PT slots/day. One from 0800 - 0930, the other from 1430 - 1600. Pick one. 100% agree! Gym Membership ought to be covered. It's a minor expense for such an important investment.

    Is Infantry a Waste of Time During Peacetime?

    To be honest, sitting around with your mates, as you wait for the next great thing (whatever that is; you're told to wait. A lot.) In spite of my snark, infantry really is a great vocation. Suffering through adverse weather and other conditions with your friends really is something that binds us.

    I cannot argue against that, that's for sure.
