Well answer this then, Do you believe that Canadian forces going to Iraq would be a good idea? I'm all ears. Also, the opinion of me being some kid yelling about America sucks is getting old. America has blood on its hands for the conflicts that they launched before and that is a well known...

Bruce Monkhouse, Sir, If you can't see a point to my argument, and feel that my logic is just anti-American ramblings then I have no reason debate with you.  I think what I have contributed to this forum is something that has far more substance then a pointless argument with an...

To Muskrat and your response all I have to say is HOW UNFORTUNATE. And yes I did get the memo, long ago. A superpower nation that does nothing about boasting about their technology and satellites didn't see the mean terrorists move highly radioactive war heads out of the country? I think some...

If we're not doing it for the UN who are we doing it for then? The United States? Iraq is their cause and their problem. Remember when they thought they could handle the situation themselves and wanted no one to steal the spot light? Also, if you read my posts prior, you'd see that one of my...

Guardian, Those are some great major points, I'm also aware of the UN crappy track record, but does the US and their military involvement have a better one? So you're saying it better to go into a coalition (American) that is run by a country that has an equally if not more blood on its hands...

Pieman, My point is that NATO is military alliance while the UN is more aimed at more humanitarian roles which sometimes endorse military involvement when necessary. Also, we are stepping up and fighting against terrorisim, that's why we went to Afghanistan and took part in operations in Tora...

Yes the UN is an looked upon as American and superpower tool, allot of the time, and it has, and continues to foul up. However, just because certain people cheat and don't follow the rules within the United Nations game, doesn't mean we should lower ourselves to their level. We need things like...

I'll give you that Infanteer, no problem. But was not Canadian involvement approved by the UN as well, often the UN doesn't want to condone a conflict and wars but they do quietly support them...isn't that what happened in Afghanistan? That's why there were no blue helmets, just as in Kosovo...

48Highlander, I NEVER said anything about giving up or doing nothing in the fight against terrorism. I believe we shouldn't go to Iraq unless it is a UN a mission. I could care less what the terrorists think to be honest. As a country, we support UN operations and should continue to do so. If...

Kirkhill, I simply firmly believe that Canadian military involvement in Iraq should not happen. We have seen examples on TV, and other media as well as on this site, as to what happens to people trying to stabilize the country over there. I feel, that if we enter Iraq for whatever reason...

Ex-Dragoon, You're right! I looked it up agian and they were a bunch of civis and not GDSF...sorry. :-[ However, this doesn't affect my point much as these people were taken hostage and threatened to be burned alive unless the Japanese Ground Domestic Security Force was withdrawn from Iraq...

I agree, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't get with the times! Bunch of fanatic idiots.... >:(

The internet was supposed to link the world together with knowledge and ideas, it was supposed to cause us to raise our standards of life and intellectually as a society...WHAT IN THE FUCK HAPPENED!? :mg: As for those bastards? FUCK EM!!!! :cam: :akimbo: Sorry for my rambling, but this really...

Those are some good points Pieman but you need to analyze the issue deeper. :) If we went to stabilize Iraq and help the people, that would fall under a UN mission, as its role would be humanitarian. Going to Iraq under NATO, is going as a result as a military alliance, meaning you're just...

Size doesn't really matter as long as you can do and excel at what is asked of you, although it does give people a falsified impression. I'm one of those guys who has a fast metabolism, despite eating 7 meals a day and taking protein mixes and working out I don't gain weight almost at all. It's...

This is sort of off topic as this forum is about the C7A2 etc, but seeing as this forum turned into about kit as well I'm going to ask. I was looking at the second guy, with the new C9A2, it looks like he has a CADPAT hydration system and it doesn't look like the one from Wheelers! ( Maybe it...

I, and I'm sure a large number of people, believe we shouldn't go there. It's not a cause, that I for one believe in, or one that Canada should be involved in. As a NATO country though, we would have the right to decide whether or not we'd like to go, we're not in the days of the British Empire...

clasper, Those are some good points!  :D The difference between Halliburton and the guys drilling oil in Alberta and the Rockies is that they don't have the technology to establish a mountain pipe line. Halliburton is, I'm dead sure, the only company that can drill through mountains to...

The UN PREVENTING the US taking over the world? Noyon, No, I'm sorry, people have to realize that the UN is 90% funded and equipped by the United States. Therefore, there really would be no United Nations if America wasn't in it. Also, if you look at the history of the UN, you'll notice a...

I have to disagree, the US and UN went to war to help out and liberate Kuwait? I wish I could believe that, there was a secondary agenda. Not to mention that the UN is 90% supported by America. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the US went to Somalia under "Operation Restore Hope," weren't they...
