Hey Pappy, How's tricks? Good to see you back here. Check your PMs. Andrew

Ligers are pretty much my favorite animal.

So if AQ is eliminated will the threat of terrorism be eliminated?

Even after telling myself I wasn't going to be drawn into an argument about this... The question has to be asked what if we (the West) hadn't invaded Iraq? Where wold we be now WRT the war? Didn't he pose a threat as a state sponsor of terror? Didn't the ambiguity of his weapons programs+his...

Thanks for the replies again guys, I wasn't trying to start any sort of an argument over who left the door open, or even reargue the . I had actually read most of what was in this article well before the invasion but wasn't able to find the article again after that. I was just curious to see if...

For now, vest alone. Pouches a separate issue. While we're at it how many of you would be interested, depending on the price?

Quick question to anyone who has seen, handled or is interested. If available how much would you pay for a Patrol Vest? How much for a completely modular (PALS based) version?  Just out of curiosity of course.

Yeah, lets feed him to the Lions! He seems guilty as hell from this article and we shouldn't bother with examining the facts of the case or even assumption of innocence, that would just take time and possibly effort! I vote we let reporters and politicians decide who is guilty and deal with it...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I got just about what I had expected. Now honestly, who amongst you read the article?

Um, not to hijack the hijack but has anyone read the article(s) at the link I provided? Any impressions?

Here is an interesting article (or series of articles) that I am about halfway through. Pretty interesting reading for those of you inclined... http://www.weeklystandard.com/Utilities/printer_preview.asp?idArticle=5804&R=C6162D26F The Mother of All Connections From the July 18, 2005 issue: A...

No sweat guys, thanks for listening, now if only someone at DND or NDHQ would listen...

Good scoop on the EMR, I didn't have a chance to talk to Mel at SHOT much. Good scoop on them agreeing to make it in CADPAT too. Andrew

Nothing except perhaps Kifaru agreeing to do it.

HA! That's what they said about the webbing! Actually I'm using a modified 82 pattern bag on a jump frame. I'm but a mere Molitia Maggot with family so I can't justify spending $ on kit anymore. If I was going in harms way I wouldn't hesitate on a Kifaru of some kind though. Rumour control...

Sorry for these long posts guys, this is one of the few areas I am able to comment on. As for navel gazing, I didn't really answer your question. The iterative process can be as rapid as the designer has time to devote to it and the client has funds and willingness to support it. That being...

Bingo, you've nailed it. The need or problem never goes away, it is just solved by newer (and hopefully more appropriate) solutions as tiem goes on. A MAV is not THE solution, it is A solution, or perhaps A solution to one aspect of the problem. The beautiful thing about working from this angle...

Actually that would be cool, I've sort of lost contact with my contacts and it would be good to talk with someone there about kit. Andrew

I attended a conference earlier this year where the CTS guys presented on progress to date as well as upcoming milestones. The ruck was projected to be fielded by 2010. Might you be getting a local purchase? Inquiring minds want to know! P.S. I've handled the new ruck, and not to be a cynic or...

Hey Kev, Did I read you right in that the Hill was looking to do another vest? If so I can hook them up with a mfg in T. who is willing and very capable. Andrew
