ArmyVern said:I'll take it that you were very insulted then when our former CDS simply "told it like it is" and weren't one of the great many of us cheering him with a "finally, someone telling it like it is to all our fellow Canadians on the left wing porting their blinders every day."

However I think Prince is wrong when he says they're out of the sewer...not sure they have those over there.
Technoviking said:In the early days of WW2, German U Boats would surface before their prey, have the crew abandon ship (eg: onto their boat) and then sink the ship by shooting the deck mounted 88mm at the waterline. Soon, this became suicidal (for obvious reasons). Still, U Boats regularly picked up the survivors. Consider the "Laconia Incident"
Bellesophie said:" Prince said. He did not mention the fact that his company was hired by the Canadian government to train its forces."
Can someone tell me why we would hire them to train our CF ?!?
Yes Talibans are killing our soldiers but so far we have fought with honnor and never we should slip lower then our enemy... I don't think the Canadian population would caution this.
After the Somalian incident, it took a lot of years to restore pride for our CF in the public eye. We shall not lose that again. Just look at what is going on in Parliament over the transfer of afghan prisoners. It's giving the CF a lot of bad press for nothing if you want my opinion on it.
So guys and girls keep doing the good job and walk out of there your head high and proud...
p.s. Read the book of General Hillier loved it !

How ironic, the Liberals bitching at the Tories about the CF following a policy the Liberals made happen. Absolutely typical.
TimBit said:It would be just as typical the other way around... don`t be fooled, it`s party politics, not liberals.
Dissident said:However, when someone is quoted out of context, we would be wise to ponder as to why the author needs to do so and re assess our frame of reference towards that issue.

Oh, I know that the Deutschers were far from "saints" when it came to war at sea. Just tried to show that they weren't the only ones playing "foul" out there. That's all.mariomike said:The S.S. City of Benares, evacuating British children to Canada to escape the Blitz, did not receive a warning.
She was torpedoed in 1940. Two years before the Laconia:
