Every trade in the CF likes to justify their trade but sadly we are all facing the same cuts. Armour losing tanks, arty losing m109's, infantry losing mortars etc.
"GO" your posts seem to indicate that in order to be aggressive and motivated you must be airborne which in my opinion is a slap in the face to every soldier not posted to a jump company.
I have jumped full equipment onto a DZ at night in the dead of winter and humped for hours just to call fire onto the fantasian army too but I realized long ago that just because a soldier hasn't gotten loaded on a jump course, doesnt mean they are inferior to someone who has.
Lets not make this an "airborne" only thing. How about we agree Canada needs a "commando" type quick reaction unit trained in mountain ops, special ops, interrogation, airmobile and yes airborne capeable too.
