Loachman said:When somebody picks up a dinner tab for a couple of dozen of us in uniform (Edmonton, early 2008) they are not just repeating a phrase - they are putting their money where our mouths are. That tab must have been at least $600.00.

Bluebulldog said:Unfortunately. Unlike the US which has over 2 million members serving in its military, we don't have the same presence. Nor do we have the same geography...where the US places it's military installations in very close proximity to major city centres, we tend to place ours in out of the way spaces.
Haggis said:The Regular Force are, by and large, concentrated in a few areas. With them are all the expensive, shiny and cool things that the public pays for (aircraft, ships, LAVs, tanks etc.) However, there are about 200 Reserve Force units scattered across Canada and many dozen Ranger Patrols in the North. One of the roles of the Reserve Force is to be the community footprint of the CF in Canada. In all likelihood, if a Canadian citizen sees a CF member in small town Canada, that member is a Reservist.

CDN Aviator said:Speaking of....do you remember that peacekeeper movie they made a while back ?
Jim Seggie said:What rubbish.
Bluebulldog said:Yes. It's actually funny, bordering on tragic that the one really good movie about the CF ( Passchendale) was about a war that's coming up on 100 years old.
Pity someone wouldn't give the same treatment to more recent conflict, even Korea.
Jim Seggie said:Maybe we should prevail upon some Canadians who have done a titanic job producing movies etc to do this.
Bluebulldog said:Awww....Seggie.....what a horrendous pun!!
