tnago - by abrupt change, i am referring to the contrast between ngos approach to things and a forceful, with arms (abrupt), imposing of will done by the military. Thats what i meant. Where an NGO might go into a conflict and try to build infrastructure, empower locals, dish out medical...

well im glad you have found your niche in life armyvern but for some of  us who are quite frankly, a bit scared, upon graduation and not knowing where to take their life next... we people, who feel this way, like to discuss these sort of 'career' goals because we have not had the blessing of...

See, i don't agree though. If i seek questions about the policing profession... it would be logical to ask LEO's my questions... especially when one is questioning the validity of certain things. geogre wallace - ???

Check the post timings! I was refering to canadian aviator!

wow, the same people who got me into trouble before follow me into this thread. Anyone who would like to answer my question legitmately could you please PM me, i am asking out of sincerity!

They wont NOW when the actual LEO's refuse to enter into discussion about such a topic... i find this utterly disgraceful and disgusting!

That is rather pathetic on their part then. A person comes seeking answers, having only been told info by disgruntles LEO's and they will not tell me otherwise? I get this strange attitude from this forum. Anyone who does not conform but asks questions and insights discussion... they are a...

Yes but only through discussion will the answers be flushed out! No man is a island.

why has this thread been moved from the 'police' section to a forum for idle chatter?! This makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!

it seems you keep getting offended at the slightest criticism when I am simply looking for discussion. I am in a existential crisis of sorts, whereby i am tryin to find my calling in life... and i have many questions before embarking on that adventure!

Catholic Answers (roman catholic) or Liongate (buddhism)!? As a religion and culture major i frequent many religious forums and engage in a number of debates. What methodology are you implying!? I think you are extremely out of line bringing in posts i have made at another forum considering you...

Yes, cause they have a similar logic to them! For example, one author i have been reading is Kabat-Zinn, the founder of the MBSR clinic, and he talks about having left the forces due to these above issues. You seem to claim it a coincidence that i raise these topics!? It is nothing beyond a...

Thank the Good Lord for someone who has engaged my QUESTION. "Military forces should be used to stabilize situations in a security sense and set the conditions for others to undertake humanitarian support operations." See this is what i have been trying to say as well. I believe this is how our...

My intent was to illustrate, as per your question, that quite often (and on increasing frequency) the Army's role in alleviation of humanitarian crisis of an international nature, is the application of combat power in order to halt atrocities & provide a security for the execution of relief or...

Obviously you are a selective reader. I clearly said in my post above the OXFAM, NGO's, CIDA - and the like - do not go far enough. In order to effect change a drastic force is needed to instigate such a action. Which is where i believe the military comes in. For example, i support military...

I used to want to become a police officer but after discussion with several officers i have become disillusioned. They pointed out that when they joined, they had lofty ideals of bettering society/the community through protecting its people and values. However, everyone of them claimed this...

Why is it that this sort of reasoning seems to be the minority? This i support wholeheartedly, but can not accept the above premises - the ones before it. How much does this sort of ideology influence current military affairs? Ironically, even though i have been heavily influenced by the left...

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt...

I did not mean to come across that way. It seemed that some of the posts here were almost geared personally at me, maybe that is because of the medium we are using for discussion, and i became very defensive. Some of the comments were just as close minded as my own, although that is no excuse...

At first I was quite offended by your initial post on page 5, and was about to fire back a quick hot-blooded response, but then i came to this post and it made me laugh... solely, because you hit the nail on the head. I can not argue with that! And if you're putting me on your ignore list...
