Hi I recently failed to pass the medical for Canadian Military due to an allergy to hornets. After being rejected I went to see a specialist who told me that the only thing I was only allergic too hornets.(not bees, wasp or any other type of insect). Due to this allergy I must carry an epee...

Hi I have been recently turned down by the Canadian Military due to being allergic to two types of hornets. It was sad way to see my dream  career end before it even started. I figured that most nations would hold the same medical standards protaining to recruits having an allergy. By the way I...

Did anyone see the issue Maclean's in I believe March, which talked about the USA economic situation. All I will say is scary, the USA debt and budget deficits are massive . If their economy fails, it won't just damage Canada but probably destroy our nation  It is time to diverse our trading...

I totally agree the USA will never invede us when they could easily just invade us economicly which they already have or atleasst partially. Nothing new with the ambassadors comments, but I have to say I never really liked the guy, although I don't know why. P.S If they every invade us, I would...

Just a question why wouldn't a M8 be a good compromise between having an only striker force or our out of date MBT? This would give us the fire power we need to be effective in a deployable force. This is not my area of knowledge let everything I read about the M8 is that it is a solid machine.

Two questions we must ask ourselves before we formulate a plan for the restructuring of the armed forces are:             1) What do we want our military to do (what will be the role of our armed forces) including this role being supported by      the government.             2) I believe...

Here's my Take If he was so against the war and decided morally that he couldn't go to Iraq, then he should of stayed in the USA and taken the consequences for his action(probably only a year in jail not bad considering what he is facing now). But instead of taking the moral high ground, this...

I applied to RMC last year with 76% average in grade 12 and 11. I made it on to the merit list. My recruiter told me that my sports background(played everything in high school), volunteering experience(I did everything possible in high school and my community), air cadets, and my work...
