thanks spur of the moment questions.

Hi my name is Sai I am planning to enlist as a reservist in The Royal Westrninster Regiment the armory is near my post secondary institution; Douglas College. I am studying in the field of history and political science and that got me interested in the military. Parents have not been thrilled...

http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/05/18/southkorea-warship-sunk-by-north.html It is "obvious" North Korea sank one of the South Korea's warships in March, killing 46 sailors, South Korea's foreign minister said Wednesday. Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan told reporters that investigators have...

Got a point there; EW some may think of electronic counter measures on planes and Raven EW birds.

Oh thanks got to look into that; don't see them around often.

Traditionally a country's armed forces have three branches army, navy and air force. My question is should we have a fourth branch: electronic warfare branch. I know that our traditional branches does do some intelligence/electronic gathering and disruption but should we establish branch...

War with Iran? I haven't read all the post before me but this is what I think: 1) The country of Iran: In a legalistic point of view Iran is a sovereign country by all means. It has all the organization of a government, military, finance, health, economic departments, etc... As much as we...

second that. There was one thing that the article didn't say was if worse come to worse who will have the authority to shoot down the passenger plane? http://www.cbc.ca/video/player.html?category=News&zone=canada&site=cbc.news.ca&clipid=1495978799 In the video it said the only the PM have the...

I foresee some problems: 1)What constitute as stable governance that will show or stratify the Western states (+ NATO->ISAF) and other non-government groups that the Afghan state is stable enough? Afghanistan is a by product of European expansionism; there was no Afghanistan before that...

good answer very thoughtful and thanks. I saw the live feed this week given by the justice minister. Lets just say it was long very long and lists a bunch examples of other governments similar to our past actions. I may not understand all of it but what you said ties into what the minister said.

Well sorry I'm not trying to step on anyone toes but as a student studying history and political science and as a civilian it is frustrating to wake up in the morning and read an article that accuse our troops of deliberately and knowingly had a hand in torture. I support our troops ("soldiers...

I don't know if this problem have been talked about here on the forums but please bare with me. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/04/01/afghan-documents.html there is plenty more of these articles. From what I read on the CBC all of there article doesn't give a straight answer but just a...

I do not think China will use force to retake the island unless Taiwan does something outrages or out of the ordinary such as publicly declaring independence. The current Taiwanese government is so far unwilling to do that; they are preoccupied with internal matters such as the economy. China...

Well the last attack was in 2004 by Chechen Islamic militants. One thing that stood out in the current attack was the use of female suicide bombers; a majority of suicide bombers are males. The Moscow Subway stations is a perfect target; high volume of passengers, confined space, limited way in...

Well you got to understand, the media is state controlled, you can't say anything else. The Han and Uyghur have been' living together for more than a 100 years. The problem is that the Communist Chinese government policy on minorities increased(because the "War on Terror") and the flood of Han...
