Sorry that you're feeling this way. I'm attempting my best to walk a very fine line in this forum while speaking my opinion of several of the items you've brought up. In a balanced view, there is nothing improper about my post above. Somebody made a claim that was taken for granted with no...

I think u may want to read my posts again to know whom i'm referring to. I'm glad you asked! http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/stmil.html  (An excellent and balanced reference btw) First link. there are some facts in his post correct especially regarding High School education, but others...

Right On!

I'd claim them uncredible due to the fact they lack any verifiable references. Obviously i'm not for nor against, but i'd request some references from the article poster.

Anyone with a site and computer can make up numbers and statements, I didn't see any sources listed there , where did he come up with these "facts" ?

Interesting views in here. "Islamic Insurgency" I believe is a huge mislabel of the current war. In the eyes of the Muslims world wide, they view America and its allies as crusaders simply because they believe the US is against Muslims having any sort of power period. There are few things need...

It is ironic that under Taliban rule the drug trade was almost completely eliminated. The coalition forces have tough decisions ahead, do they continue to embrace the drug trade in exchange for peace of mind or do they clam down on it and risk an insurgency!

The topic was truncated just to avoid sarcastic remarks like these. As paracowboy said earlier, lets hope they give them a respectful funeral and that is it. I believe for most cases (though never been to Guanto land) that detainees are treated better than prisoners in Afghanistan or for matter...

I enjoyed the response of the father of Nicholas Berg. His son waskilled in Iraq suppousdly by Al-Zarqawi group. Though I personally don't think Al-Zarqawi's death will not make or break things, it is a sign of relief for those who wanted him dead in the first place...

Crescent is not the islamic symbol during crusade wars...I believe black and green flags were the symbol. Byzantines are who used the crescent for the first time which later was adopted by Ottomon empire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent Anyway, I know for a fact the crescent wasn't a...

sorry, I didn't go over that part. Still weird they'd do discourage holding a flag!!!

The story is taken out of context. This is the actual story from the Sun Tabloid and it has no mention of threats, jihadists or terrorism: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006250446,00.html Also, some interesting one about bad drivers...

3rd Horseman : I agree. Nevertheless, I think having the minorities in the army is an important step to reflect on the country itself. Canada is a multi-cultural society and by having those different societies work together we achieve more of our goals as a strong and united nation. This will...

I don't believe relaxing security clearance is an answer. I've joined the army as reserve prior to taking my citizenship , it took a bit long to complete the security clearance but i'd no problem joining. I believe the problem with attracting new recruits is the recruiting process itself. From...

Kudos to the commanders in Afghanistant for sharp eyes and wise decisions. This is an important step in winning the support of the Afghani people. Ordinary people want two things from the coalition forces: Security and Peace. When soldiers break down doors in evening raid, spread panic and fear...

i'd think Nazi with Nukes is a far fetch for Iran, at least there is a large Jewish group in Iran that actually support the nuclear program! Iran Nukes will be really nothing but self defense because no matter how crazy you are, you wouldn't want to hit Israel with 2-3 nukes just to get hit back...

While the basis of the idea is plausable, in practice, this can't be accomplished. There will be conflict of authorities, army rules are different from civilian rules and most importantly this will open the door for the army to go further and slowly take other duties like policing...etc. Which...
