    To say the least.  I'm posted here in India right now and the sabre rattling is ramping up quite quickly here.  Things are going on up there daily that we are watching very closely

    India (Superthread)

    Disappointed in a number of ways for sure and the bribing will have to go a lot further than just defence equipment!

    Will I have to jump?

    American Beer vs Canadian Beer

    If you talk about the macro breweries, such as Coors, Budweiser, etc, then yes, the stuff is absolutely brutal and boring beer, but the Americans have made great strides in the craft beer microbrewery business and some of whats available out there is absolutely amazing tasting beer! As someone...

    Majors that can be used to be an MPO

    I can answer that...........no.............MPO's would not be looked at as lateral entry candidates for civy forces.  Civilian police agencies who accept MP's laterally are specifically looking for garrision policing experience, meaning, bread and butter policing.  Traffic stops, tickets, calls...

    US official says"Saudis Arabia poised to make shift AWAY from relations with US"

    Interesting topic, which interests me greatly considering I'm currently working in Saudi Arabia.  Great posts by everyone as well!  Personally, and I see it every day, the Saudi's are trying to "Saudize" everything here.  They decided that the jobless rate, especially amongst the Saudi youth is...
