    Canadian's in Vietnam

    The border and immigration matters were pretty relaxed during the late 1960 anbd 70s = not like today. I don't think anyone knows the exact figure of CDNs who served during the Viet Nam conflict, but those factors helped make it a reality.

    Making Canada Relevant Again- The Economic Super-Thread

    Comparing Canada to Hitler's doomed Germany seems somewhat extreme. Most Cdns seem happy with the evolving state of democratic socialism. I'm sure in their their collective mind, they don't see Canada as doomed. That was the point I was trying to make = nothing else.

    Making Canada Relevant Again- The Economic Super-Thread

    If the majority of the people support democratic socialism = then Canada is not doomed = since they are getting what they asked for. I personally have no use for a busy-body state where micro-management of the individual is the norm.

    Canadian Ex-Soldier Killed in Iraq

    No, they aren't mercs. They are people with specialized trg in close protection or static security slots. They aren't involved in cbt or regular military operations. Too bad there are people like yourself = who don't understand the distinction.

    Soldiers who smoke

    I don't smoke or drink, but I think think every one should be able to do so, if they so choose.  I don't care for busy-bodies and the gov micro-managing peoples lives. Sure seems like there's a lot of it, today.

    Soldiers who smoke

    I can't think of a better way to give away your position, than by lighting up. It's a nasty habit and one well worth giving up.

    'Jerk' Culture?

    Recruits have always been treated like dirt. It could also get physical years ago, but that's probably changed. I remember getting my butt kicked on more than one ocassion ;) Cap badges were usually worn after General Military Trg (the only cornflake I remember was by Kellogs).

    SPECIAL FORCES GROUP

    Time Magazine did a feature on the CIA SOG Paramilitary units that are being used in the WOT. Check the back issues from a few years ago.  There's no connection to the Army SF, though the article mentions that former team members are recruited = along with others from the SOF ranks.

    Would you enlist in the US Marines if it were open to Canadians?

    Following WW2 right up to the 1970s, most Cdns stopped caring about the military. Sad, but true. Many of us can do a lot more by helping America by being south of the border. For those of us who have made this decision, there's nothing to justify. Besides, there are a lot more gigs in the close...

    failed due to heart rates

    If you want to develop stamina and strentgh try some Ashtanga yoga. Every part of you will be in shape = if you stick with it.

    Joining the American Military

    m payne... Many Americans and CDNs hold duel citizenship.   You should explore that before ever renuunciating your citizenship. Have you tried to enlist in the CF?

    Canadian Health Care System

    The Mexican illegals and down-and-outers seem to benefit the most = since they don't have to fork over any money = unlike the working poor who have a limited income. Even a   Walmart door greeter would probably have to break loose with some change..or do without medical.

    Another Boring Rant on US Politics

    The phrase is likely rooted in the NT. He who is not with me is against me = Matthew 12:30   It is a reflection of our times, even for anarchists with "steel toed boots".

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Another good call was when Reagan ordered terrorist targets taken out in Libya back in the 1980s.

    an idea to get the Liberal's to support the CF

    The liberals and majority don't care about the military because it represents to them = the warrior spirit = which is one of the main causes of war. They believe by destroying the military, they will be eliminating war.   I doubt they will ever get behind any policy that has the least bit of...

    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    Religion in the military... Most of our Regiments have ties to churches. To ignore religion is to ignore our military tradition = since Christianity did play an important role.

    Joining the American Military

    People that are in the US on a student  = or another type of visa  = can do an adjustment of status. Like, if they got married while being a student  they could apply for a GC, then apply for the military. Talk to an immigration consultant and think positive.
