I can't believe there is not more interest in this.  We are heading into a collision course with the US over sov. and resorce rights and we had better start flexing our muscle and showing more presence than periodic "long walks" .  If you want to see the real US attitude about our terretorial...

I have to say, I'm quite irritated. This could be the start of a major war in Europe, and I can't even watch a damn thing about it on the News because Senator John Edwards cheated on his wife two years ago. Priorities, eh? Yeah, Midget, you have to go to BBC or any  non US media.  If the US...

"The National Security Council said the White House had created a team of experts to consider whether the administration needed to restrict the use of BlackBerries because of concerns about cyber espionage"...

This isn't being covered by the MSM .....I searched and couldn't find anything on this other than the Margolis article....the BBC link was Apr 28 and not concerning this.  This is a fairly critical piece of info , if true, as the Turks/Kurds/PPK/Israel/US nexus is pretty congruent these days. ...

"In my short career I've see no singing. Well thats not quite true. I had an instructor in Gagetown (SQ) that was ex-airborn, and we learned all sorts of good songs to run/march to. I guess each to his own"...

As far as singing on the march not being done anymore, we really never did do it. RG:  Yeah, I've seen some US songs sung on crse marches (70s) like Airborne, Blood on the Risers and the old Sound Off song.... Nowadays the forced marches are push the limits events and not really suited to...

Here is a topic that I have not seen here:  Army songs.  I remember when I joined in 68 we learned all the old army songs (north atlantic sqn, glenwarple highlanders, Kiss me Good Night Sgt Maj etc) on BMT.  It was a big thing on the bus/truck/march in Ont units.  I transferred to Western area...

Charles Krauthammer said this week:  (parphrasing)  The Chinese found out that they could commit genocide in Tibet and the world would give them a pass....but you don't mess with Elmo.

Old thread but, I was wondering where the Patrol Pathfinders Badge is worn? Is it worn above the pocket instead of white leaf wings (the assumption being that any Pathfinder would be understood as a white leaf jumper and Mil Freefall)?  Or is it worn above wings? I've only seen the cloth badge...

Thanks, Kirkhall, interesting stuff.  I had read about the fossilized trees in Greenland.  I remember reading about the potential of a large undersea oil deposit near the Falklands, too, which one theory had it, was the reason that the UK defended it at such great cost.  Very expensive to get...

Looking at the map in that BBC link I don't hold much hope that Canada will have a hope at claiming more than our 200 mile limit, however, that area includes very critical shipping routes through the islands that I hope we will establish as our own territory. One thing that really is a noodle...

BBC World news  (TV) has a good piece on Harper and the new port/base plans today.
