The 'What If Canada Gets Attacked' Superthread

[aesop081]

. And i just want Infantry to open up again because me and a lot of people i know want to join.

I'm sorry but giving you a job is not in the CF's mandate. We could hang up a sign at CFRC's that reads "fuck off we're full !" but that would be rude.

So now why isn't there a greater military presence in Ottawa?

What is the threat to Ottawa ? I mean a threat other than common sense taking over ..........

I quoted your post so your name appears, that should be simple enough.

They're not tangled, they are a merge of like subject matter. This makes it easier for people that, properly, use the search function to get their information more directly. We do it because noobs come here and scatter threads all over the place, asking the same questions, while frustrating Staff and members alike.

....and while you're being educated to the ways of Milnet, start paying attention to your grammar, punctuation and, most of all, your capitalization, as per the Site Guidelines.

I know that but its just kinda confusing having more than one thread all together.

Wouldn't the Marines fall under the Naval command?

My turn - we don't have a navy, we have the Canadian Armed Forces.

I don't believe the US Marines are subordinate to the Navy anymore, just highly cooperative.

The USMC is still administered by the Department of the Navy.

No. They are subordinate to the secretary of the Navy. They are at the same level as the CNO, who is also subordinate to the secretary of the Navy.

skater021,
In answer to your question: Invaded by the US Yes I would defend Canada.
The US and Canada are not wholly subsistent on Oil resources. We can supply
our own. Having said that and due to treaty's and other agreement's we as a
consumer buy oil and other commoditie's from said nation's due above said.
Sarah Palan can try and appropriate our oil as you stated. We will just politely
escort her back to her border and tell her not to come back... Well unless she
want's to as an immigrant,,,ish... Or a Pin-up..
Tony--- I'm goin with Lea---Much more perkier.
Pitdroid- The dark age's were the 70's-80's when the Fibby-Libby's more or
less castrated our Armed Forces.. General Rick Hillier (Armoured) tried his damn
est to restore all our to an appropriate level as best he could,,,be it army,,navy
airforce,,equipment,,,,,, right so where did skater021 disapear to,and pitdroid
your rebuttal please.

Hi everyone, today I will be voicing my opinion on the military in Ottawa.

Disclaimer: I am only a highschool student whom has no military experience. This is my thoughts and opinions. IE. Please don't get angry if you disagree.

When I started researching military in our nations capital; Ottawa, I found it quite weird that there is not more units than there is.
If you visit this webpage, you will find all the army units in Ottawa.
http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/land-terre/units-unites/index-eng.asp?action=City&id=50

I would think there is at least one large regular forces combat arms unit in Ottawa.

The reason I suspect why there is not is:

Back when Canada was founded, Ottawa, was chosen as the location of the capital (this is only one of the reasons) for seceruity reasons. At the time the main enemy was the Americans (Fenian raids) and Ottawa is close to the US border, but there is lots of room to stop them.

Ottawa being the capital has a large target on it's back if we were ever involved in a large scale war (IE WW3). If a conflict like this did arise, the distance away from sea would not matter as they could gain access into the city Via other methods IE. parachuting. Or in a NBC warfare situation Ottawa would need tremendous help (as would any other city) yet Ottawa I suspect is one of the main targets in a situation like this.


So now why isn't there a greater military presence in Ottawa?
I would love to hear your opinions.

Thanks!

Have you ever been to Ottawa? I see hundreds of military personnel every day, my bus into the downtown area every morning is filled with men and women in uniform (I'm sometimes the only non-member every couple days!).

I feel very safe, thank you. And I wouldn't even mind seeing even more CADPAT around O town.

20 years ago you might have had your wish.  Wearing of uniforms in Ottawa was rationed to 1 day a week or so I'm told, so as not to scare the straights.  I assume that's been changed.
