CDN Aviator said:And of course, not every weapon is a sword. Some trades in the CF are not combat arms but are definitely on the pointy end of things. A sailor who operates the 57mm gus on a frigate during an engagement at sea is definately at the combat end of things. The same can be said of a F-18 pilot, an Aurora crewmember, etc...
<shaking my head> It was a analogy that was meant to incorporate that the CF as a whole will have sharp edges and other parts that are used to cause damage ( soldier sailor airman ) however for everyone who has a role that involves causing damage to a enemy there is the force behind it that allows those instrument of destruction to carry out the task. A sword with out the metal behind the edge or the hilt and handle is but a papercutting instrument.
I did use the term Cbt Arms in my post but I did not mean to slight anyone in any part of the forces who are involved in causing damage to the En.
