    Meanwhile back at the perpetually offended tent/Infidel tattoo questions

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the trendy infidel fashion thing come about by embracing insults?  Not factoring in how the word was used historically, these days some Muslims use it as a condemning word.  However some non Muslims now use it as a badge of honour.  Similar to American...

    Pay: Statements, Backpay, Benefits, Deductions (Taxes, T4), Deployed ect... [MERGED]

    Veterans License Plates

    I was wondering if it is common for serving members to have a veteran's licence pate?  I myself am ex army and have been out of the service for many years.  After my release, the Veteran's plate came to Alberta.  I got one when it was offered.  Not only am I proud to have served, it also has a...
