Maybe things are different in Canada, but here the military doesn't get to choose which wars to fight.

Perhaps it's because people in the military don't have time for BS, and can't afford to not be realistic in thier views, assesments and actions. Now a question for you Adrian, why are such a large percentage of leftists anti-military? (whether it be in the idiotic "baby killing" sense, or the...

Merry Christmas to you Wes and all the diggers over there, you've earned it. Thanks for all that you have done and will continue to do. Have a Happy and Safe New Year.

haha, that's gold Ronin = a great movie

::)  Don't you just love the media I'm sure the crews are much more familiar with thier aircraft than any journalist. And hopefully the families trust thier loved-ones more than the BBC of all people (hopefully they trist anybody more than the BBC actually).

Our Navy patrol boats (about 14 now i think) and sometimes frigates, and our Martime Customs units with 8 patrol boats and a few leased ships conduct patrols in cooperation with the department of fisheries and conservation. With surveillance help from Coastwatch aircraft, the RAAF, the JORN...

Well it's about bloody time.

Throwing water baloons of urine at the Police, beating up members of the media because they are for 'commercial' stations, protesting against everything under the sun, things that had nothing to do with global economics, throwing marbles under police horses hooves, breaking windows of every...

And to think some brave men risked thier lives to save his. Brave men who have lives and families of thier own, put all that on the line to save the life of a man they had never met, and that man now won't honour the memories of thousands more before them who sacrificed thier lives doing...

I spoke to a Policeman a while ago about this. He said military service itself would not be a help in a police application. HOWEVER he then said that: The life experience gained and the skills developed by being in the military would improve the chances of an applicant, depending on the...

Haha, saw that on the news tonight. I wish I could have bet on them, because my tip in the Melbourne Cup had an absolute shocker of a race  :(

Unfortunatly I'm not faster than the lightning footed Fijians I played with. Not in the Southern Hemisphere they didn't. And Jonah's career isn't totally dead yet, he's still trying to make a comeback.

And spinal damage. Man wasn't designed to endure to pack down for a scrum against a ton and a half of pacific isladner.  My advice, if you ever start playing rugby, avoid being a prop, hooker, or second row,otherwise you'll learn a whole new meaning of pain.  :blotto:  :crybaby:

When did the facts ever get in the way of a good story, let alone a bad one.

It didn't seem to harm the USNA  ;)

Has somebody whispered to them yet that peacekeeping isn't thier strong suit?
