Look, YOU took my quote out of context. I was quite aware of what I wrote - I was commenting on ONE LINE, not the whole thing. ETA: I was actually upset about the POLITICIAN, not the military guy. For him to say, "he's my man..." makes the Comd sound like a political hack, not someone in...

You know, this just makes me so sad and confused and angry. I can understand killing soldiers - that's what we signed up for. We're in the uniforms so we're targets. That's understood. Sad, true, but it's part of the risk in the job. But civilians? Just people standing around buying stuff to...

It says he's 'imminently prepared'. Nothing about knowledge. Just that he read up. Big whoop. 'Tacticly astutute'. Yeah, so what? What's his previous skill? I was quite aware of what part I quoted. It still makes me cringe when I read stuff that's been 'dumbed down' for the civies. M :brickwall:

"David Fraser is my man," he said. "He's got good charisma and the troops like him." Gee, that's a good recommendation for the job, eh? Charisma and likeability... whatever happened to knowledge and leadership? M :brickwall:

Guy, I'm pregnant and a little hormonal now, so I'll try to be polite. Women don't become HUGE the second they become pregnant. It takes a while to 'show' if you will. During that time, the only two choices we have are the dress of the day, or the tents they issue us. A lot of women would...

Did you know that Royal Roads has a 2 year BComm course you can do? I think that'll look better on your application than Camosun. Something to think about at any rate. As for the transferability of the courses, definately talk to RMC about it. M :brickwall:

Zook, you know you have more chance of being blown up as an Armd Offr than as a Mars Offr, right? The only bad thing about Mars is there's a bazillion of them out there and the training course eats your soul. Other than that, meh, nothing to it ;). I really think you need to do what's right for...

From technical types it is. The guys who work on the Vic are just estatic to be ON a sub. Nevermind they're not sailing her. Just repairs and fixing and climbing scaffolding. It's so frustrating for them. M :brickwall:

At least their kids will never need sweaters. Is his wife's name Beeeeeeetty? M :brickwall:

Don't mix up Federal and Provincial politics. They have nothing to do with each other in BC. If Emerson ran for the Liberals and was voted in as a Liberal, then he should have STAYED a Liberal or resigned. Crossing the floor to get a cabinet post is underhanded. He won't get re-elected in his...

I'm in love with Bo, actually  ;D. M :brickwall:

That would be great if we only had 1 coast to defend. Without getting into Arctic Soveriegnty (sp), one on each coast would be ideal. It's the same song as the 280's - we had 4, they worked or didn't as the case may be, then they spend millions of dollars on a communications platform for one...

Bruce, I wasn't commenting on your post, just the original one. M :brickwall:

The difference? Last I knew, over 30 million people weren't praying to the General Lee or a HumVee on prayer mats over 3 times a day. Get real. M :brickwall:
