Interesting thread. The problem, as I see, it is that sometimes we forget that when you attack someone's opinion (be it a political opinion, or an opinion of a design solution like the Triad for example) you are attacking the person themselves. The reaction you will get depends on how you...

Sir, Thank you for your post. For the last few months I have been thinking about the world situation and wondering what our position is and whether it is the right one. I think that I have become somewhat fixated on the US and Iraq so much that I haven't been paying enough attention to what...

Oh well. Not the reply I was hoping for but certainly the reply I was expecting. Thanks Brit, for showing me and the rest of the board your true colours. As I thought you're nothing more than a Troll. Disappointing, but as I said, not surprising. I guess the search goes on for reasoned, logical...

Brit, I have gone out of my way to be civil to you even though you have not answered in kind. I would appreciate it if you would do me the favor of not attributing thoughts and feelings to me which you would not attribute to yourself. It is a concept known as respect. I respect your right to...

If I might interject here for a minute, you have highlighted the problem. In my opinion she can't do both. By doing one she is doing the other. As such I find it very hard to understand why she would choose to do so and can olnly chalk it up to people influencing her decisions that don't have...

Out of curiosity Trinity, who makes those bags? I have a few suggestions as to how you can reduce your costs while improving the bag for the end user. PM me if you are interested.

Absolutely correct, I hope my meaning was clear though that you will get some really good information on "medic" LBE if you ask over on Lightfighter. That board is pretty much a kit board and as such attracts Gear Guys from every trade, medics included. You may be able to find some interesting...

Thanks for posting that pic Brit, it illustrates a point I have been waiting to make. As with every problem there are several solutions, in that pic you see several solutions for the problem of how to organize and carry all of the equipment a soldier needs to do his job. These solutions are...

I happen to think that the right to keeping your vote a secret is paramount to a free society. That being said I don't think it is too much to ask that the Governor General be unquestionable loyal to Canada. The fact that there is any question at all-through her views on federalism, as well as...

Japanese PM's statement on VJ Day This is the full text of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's statement on the 60th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, as reported by Kyodo news agency. In marking the 60th anniversary of the end of the war, I once again recall that the peace...

So the explanation for using a non issued ruck is that your webbing was "horrid"?

What I'm confused about is why some people can't seem to make a reasoned argument without resorting to being insulting.

Hatless Dancer, Are you suggesting someone use non-issued kit? Doesn't that go against what you said in the other thread?

Well I'm not going to get in to a review of Canadian Kit through history with you,as much fun as that might be it would take too long. The real point it this, you have to compare what we have with what we COULD have, not what we did have. We COULD have kit that is second to NONE, but we don't we...

Firm but fair, I like it!

Right you are Brad, and from what I understand what happened to some of the other Axis cities was worse. There was an intersting program on PBS the night before last about the end of the Pacific War. According to this program there was a pretty even split in the Japanese war cabinet right up...

Thanks Acorn, I have read that there are two interpretations of the term Jihad, one meant as an internal struggle and one as an external physical conflict. It seems that we are fighting the latter. What do they call themselves?

Having worked for a little while in the industry I can echo Gunner's comments, there is indeed a lot of political capital wrapped up in the CTS project that is going to be very difficult to work through, BUT, CFL is equally right. A large portion of what CTS produced is outdated and if you guys...

I can't blame Bitter and GO for being pissy, I'd be pissy too if I was subjected to being sent hither and yon depending on the whims of the Gov't of the day. No offense meant, seriously, I'm not making a dig. When I came back from Croatia I thought  a lot about joining the Reg Force but the...

Is the term "Jihadi" more accurate?
