I'm looking for a book on infantry tactics, and I came across this one. The description made it sound pretty good. I was wondering if anyone here had read it before and could offer some insight. Or recommend a better book. I'm certainly all ears. I'm not looking for anything too comprehensive. I...

I saw this article in today's London Free Press. It's a shame the museum doesn't receive much traffic these days. I took a trip through it a couple years ago with my brother. I enjoyed it, learned a few new things, like how trenches were set up in WWI. I also bought the two books that outline...

I was just watching an episode of Jericho, which is a series on CBS. In the episode a bunch of Marines come to the town for supplies, but one of the characters becomes suspicious that they're actually Marines when they keep saying "Ooh-rah." This character happened to be an Army Ranger when he...

Did a search but didn't find anything for this show. I love it. It's hosted by Mack, who, if I remember correctly, is a retired Marine. In each episode, he basically goes over a few new weapons systems that are being developed, shows how they work, what they're for etc. Some of the systems are...

I bought this book this afternoon at Chapters. I've been looking for a good book on modern military weapons. I'm hoping this one is good. Has anyone here read it? It's called Weapons of the Modern Marines, and it just says Green for author. You can read more details about the book here. It...

I was wondering if anyone had a list of Canada's military deployments to Afghanistan since we first sent troops in February 2002. I've been searching the Internet, but I haven't been able to find much. It seems it's not as useful as it once was.  :P Thanks guys.

The other day I was talking to a friend of mine from the States who used to be in the Navy. We were discussing possible ideas for a novel, and while discussing them, he told me I should look over the canadian field manual for armed forces personnel. He couldn't remember the title of it, though...

I was just reading this article on another board. I thought it was pretty interesting. Some amatuer hackers cracked a German cypher from WWII. Online amateurs crack Nazi codes

I've looked at both books and I can't decide which I like better. I think I'm leaning more towards the second book...  :-X 1) The Devil's Brigade by Robert Adleman and George Walton "The first special service forces of World War II were known as the Devil's Brigade. Ferocious and stealthy...

Choice of Force: Special Operations for Canada by David Last Has anyone read or heard of this book? I'm looking for a good book on special forces, mainly Canada's. I came across this book on the Chapters website. Here is a little bit about the book: "Twenty years from now, security issues may...
