Sounds like someone spent his teenage weekends in air cadets to me. Lance, I have a very good idea of the kind of military we have, as well as the people in it.

My problem is not with the military itself, but the disgracefully inadequate funding and subsequent PR nightmare it recevies from our feds. Our troops have done a great job in the face of a beaurocracy which is more interested in supplying maternity fatigues than ammunition.

Sure the coffee is a morale booster, but it does little to negate the fact that our troops have been forced to wear green jungle camo in a desert war while we took half a year ordering desert fatigues from the States. Even though an army surplus retailer in Toronto was willing to fill and ship the order within a week.

Don't forget that many of our troops had to hitch a ride with US soldiers because we did not have enough airplanes to get them there.

The recruiting office I spoke of has long since closed down and is now a Tim Horton's. Go figure.

dammit and here i was totally ready to delve into the civil war and the use black troops on the frontlines...

I are one to dude... It wasn't pointed at anyone in particular.
And given the beer in me now I'm far less inclined to talk politics, as I am to do a blind taste test between American VS Canadian beer. Anyone wanna send me some Fat Tire from down south?

And proceeded to get yourself ridiculed by posting patently absurd falsehoods about both the US and Canadian militaries.

Carry on, Wile E.
