I would suggest that this conversation needn't even have necessitated a Google search. Mr. Hunka was known to have fought the Soviets during the Second World War. Without receiving any further information, the conversation should have ended in that moment.

As a note to anyone referencing the photograph in the first post, it is not taken in Latvia. It depicts a soldier from the UK Training Element during the CDS' visit in the fall of 2022. Not only is the geography incorrect, it makes assumptions about the individual's purchase. Yes, they are 3 PPCLI.

I assume that the generation to whom the author disparagingly refers, is that same one that has served this nation across the globe in multiple active theatres over the past two decades, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali, Ukraine and Latvia.

And conversely to prove, yet again, that every generation of soldiers endures being seen as 'softer' than the last: How muscle cars, sideburns and John Travolta helped save the military after Vietnam

The Department issued a clarification after the Minister spoke. It is not new money, and is in fact part of the previously-announced increase to the defence budget. EDIT. The Minister's Office sent the correction, not DND.

Submitted application in October 2019. Received in complete in April 2020, went to Stage 3. Suspended in February 2021, for more information. Sent the requested, completed package in April 2021. Indicated that it was back to decision-making, Stage 3, at end of May 2021. So, for the more...

I was deployed to this particular AO for approximately ten months, back in 2016-2017. The threat profile changed dramatically during that time period; in June 2016, ISIL was less than 50km from Baghdad, Fallujah was still raging, protests threatened to topple the government and repeated SVBIEDs...

Patricia Smith was criticized by those in the public sphere that took exception to Hillary Clinton being held personally responsible for the death of her son at Benghazi. Ghazala Khan was being mocked by a candidate for President of the United States on her refrain from speaking at the DNC...

What attack? I've offered criticism of a presidential candidate, nothing more and certainly not against a member here. EDIT. If that was the impression, it was not my intent. Do you genuinely believe that all he wanted was clarification as to her stance on her dead son?

You're kidding, right? That entirely shameful, outright disrespectful comment made by a potential Commander-in-Chief and all you have to say is that it is a pro-Democrat article? Take out the author's conjecture, fine. Read a different article by a different news agency and Donald Trump's...

Interesting article covering the attempted coup, from War on the Rocks. http://warontherocks.com/2016/07/the-coup-operation-and-turkeys-fractured-military/ BLUF. From the article, the indication is that a hasty enacting of the plot, brought on by detection by Turkish intelligence, coupled...

Considering that Nice, Istanbul, Orlando, Paris, Brussels, San Bernadino, Ottawa, Boston, et al., involved Western citizens that were killed in the course of their attacks by law enforcement, or that targeted strikes of insurgent leadership or membership has been going on for almost a decade, I...

What is the job, exactly? Seems like it is mass deportations, imprisonment or torture of North American citizens without justification. I think we can pass on that job.

Many of my colleagues support measures such as this one; I disagree. Not that anyone is asking, but to me it simply appears to be political tripe. There is already specific legislation that makes it an offence to assault, attack or otherwise harm law enforcement officers. I'd imagine (EDIT...

Before we start talking about the media and outside agencies utilizing what many consider to be "incorrect" language, we should clean house first... DRDC... http://www.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/en/dynamic-article.page?doc=the-evolution-of-the-smart-gun/i5xyz550 Gun enthusiast magazines...

From what I've seen personally, or if you want to get into the 'heard of', more or less anything else available to courts for anything else. Suspended sentences (probation), with fines (depending on the offence); now, that being said, we're not even talking the prohibitions afterwards, which...

With the Supreme Court overturning the mandatory minimum sentencing, for a select portion of prohibited weapons offences, that would be most of them. There are many offences that can be remedied by summary conviction, which doesn't necessitate incarceration. Just because you are 'liable' to...

Let me be perfectly clear. I am in no way, equating provincial legislation to criminal legislation; before this turns into a word-parsing bun-fight, my intent was to just clarify, what I believed to be, a commonly held feeling about punishment regarding firearms legislation and because people...

Really? So, simply by sharing my real-world experience of the judicial system in Ontario, I am trolling? Never actually stating that I advocated for gun control, or that it was all reasonable; but simply for showing people that may have no insight, that the hyperbole of "JAIL" for all firearms...

Just reading through the commentary in this thread and as I passed by these particular points, I wanted to address this for everyone who may not have much insight into the criminal and provincial (specifically, Ontario) law realms. Under the Provincial Offences Act (Ontario), it is entirely...
