    Favourite War Movies

    I tend to agree with mariomike about both The Last Detail ("I am the motherf****ng shore patrol, motherf***er! I am the motherf***ing shore patrol! Give this man a beer") and Heaven Knows Mr. Allison.  Which brings to mind servicemen and Clerics in: Sand Pebbles: ...

    Decompression in Cyprus - various aspects, updates (merged)

    I suppose soldiers spending their back-pay buying subscriptions to the Toronto Star would be a much less controversial story.  Who is making an issue of this anyway, the paper's marketing and circulation department?

    If America adopts Canada's health care system

    What I find instructive is that the  re-engineering the US socio-economic system occured over a period that spanned the 3 decades that started and culminated with a Roosevelt presidency.  TR was I believe the first 'trust-buster' and FDR brought in the New Deal.  Thus, it was a...

    Radical rubber band gun

    That could be a tough one.  There may be a prohibition against the use of publicly funded economic development programs to support the private production and distribution of "weapons of mass destruction".

    Dog sniffs out dope in cake

    And if it was a chocolate cheese cake? That would certainly be detected if it was our personal customs dog/grocery bag inspector.

    Taliban Shoots at ISAF Medevac Helicopter

    I'll wager that the awarding of the  Taliban equivalent of the VC to the gunner who, "with disregard for his own personal safety, did singlehandledly destroy an infidel death machine loaded with the running dog lackeys of Satanic dhimmis..." will happen sooner Tony.

    Ironically Multiculturism balkanizes this great land by encouraging ethno-centric distinctions rather than building the unity that is supposedly it's theoretical purpose for diversity breeds the perpetuation of historic stereotypes and contempt.  Too many hyphenated-Canadians and not enough...

    Man jailed for being an army deserter, even though he was never in the army

    Does being part of military make you 'right wing'?

    Indeed he was "being witty".  And I appreciated tbe witicism which is probably why I still get a chuckle from it 35 years latter.  As if a Bolsheviks ever had the right to cast a ballot that indicted anything but "Da".  No disrespect of Instructors, reg or res, intended on my part.
