as usual the subject of an underfunded understrength military is the topic of the day! To be effective in the roles undertaken politically, would require the CA(R) to upsize to about 250,000 reg. the same kind of relative numbers for the other branches. The country has enough officers for such a force, were they inteligently utilized as officers not consultants etc. There are dozens of ways to make it econoimically feasable, but there is no political will to do so. Politicians in this country for the last 40 years and for the near future are intent on fazing out Canada (not just the military) and selling out what assets are left. A recent book by a chap named Menzies titled 1421 shows just what politicians and civil servants can do, to even the most advanced civilization the world has ever known. Read it! think back to the achievements of Canadians over the three wars etc of the last 100 years and weep! The Chinese had covered the world! with culture, agriculture, animal husbandry and so many other things it is impossible to mention, the whole thing destroyed and removed from history by civil servants and politicians. So much so that that which we call history, Columbus etc. is revealed as a bad joke. No forget anything about honour or country because these civil servants and politicians have another very different agenda!
