    Are Suicide Bombers Cowards

    Ghost778. I wasn‘t contributing to the debate as much as I was trying to explain what Doug is trying to convey during this very emotional time. That‘s what soldiers do, they look out for one another. Be very ******* careful what tone you take with me. You little smart-***. I would never...

    It was Rob and Sue‘s Daughter-in-law that was killed in the LAV accident. Don‘t be at a loss for words troops - spread the word to all those within your realm of influence. This wasn‘t bad luck, this was a proud military family that has paid the ultimate sacrifice twice over. They paid with...

    Tactical vest now in service

    It is a great leap ahead in cbt gear for the Cdn Infantry. I am sure there will be bugs to work out but the BTE and work ups for Afghanistan will sort those out. As far as the mag issue is concerned, I believe the mags are configured that way to keep the load as close and distributed as evenly...

    question about Petewawa

    I‘m not Arty, but I can assist somewhat with your question. 2 RCHA still supports Para Coy, 3 RCR in a limited capacity. FOO/FAC etc.. This support has been provided since disbandment, and much appreciated, I must add. This means only a handfull of guys get to participate in para ops. There...

    "french rolling" ? ?

    Ah yes...the old dichotomy of ‘form over function‘. Do what they say in trng, but temper it with a good dose of reality. Some things that you do in garrison are done in the interest of discipline and uniformity, they do not necessarily translate to good fieldcraft. The wisdom is in knowing the...

    War Junkies

    Good recommendation with ‘On Killing‘ combat_medic, but one can also proof-read some of the articles on Grossmans‘ website: web page they encapsulate what is contained within the book and in some cases expand on it.
