I don't believe that Israel should have ever bombed a UN position knowingly (still not proven they did)  But, even if they felt that militants were using the UN base as cover, they still did not (based on infromation thus far) warn the UN members to vacate the area- even after repeated calls...

Are you all blind?!?  Look at the second letter!  Hezbollah, an "e".  Separatist, an "e".  Terrorist, an "e".  The link is irrefutable. Comparing a legitimate political party to militant extremists should warrant no discussion, however, at the risk of opening up the proverbial can of worms, how...

A better analogy is that "they" curb stomp you, take your bike, and burn your house down wtih your family in it. No one can argue that Jewish people have been victimized.  But Israel isn't the Jewish people- no more than Hamas, Al-Qaeda, or Hezballah constitute the Muslim people.  Acts of...

Thanks, GW- not doubting his word, but would like to go to my Ops O with some hard data that would allow me to get coursed on Mod 2, 3, 4 at Gagetown without taking 1....I might be CAP qualified by the end of next year!!

Could you please let me know where you got this info? I know last year they did decentralized portions of 1,2, and 4 but was told by my ops cell that this year all mods are centralized.

Hey all- Just a shot in the dark, but could someone in the know comment on what’s being discussed for the future of the CAP course? I’m coming at this from a PRes point of view- while I understand that a perfect world would have reg and res officers trained to the same standard, 11 straight...

Has that been confirmed by the Inf school?  Our BSL informed us to take our vests to Gagetown, but the joining instructions say webbing... BTW, on yet another tangent, does anyone have the joining instructions for BOTP II in May?

Is there anyway this info could be passed on to those of us who don't have access to the DIN on a regular basis?  BTW, there is a MOD version of CAP being run at the Inf school this summer starting Jun 27.  It's different than the full five week May start CAP in that you take three mods that...

That was classic.  Good luck with the rest of your BMQ.

Mike, that's precisely my viewpoint.  I'm traditionally left of centre, and I'm probably not going to give up many of my ideologies any time soon.  That being said, after some time in the military I might reconsider some of the textbook views I have of the world- especially political stances...

Fair enough.  Trust me, any misconceptions I had about a politically neutral forum where crushed (along with my ego) within my first two or there posts :)  And to be entirely fair, this forum, as GW pointed out, has been fairly civil for the most part.  Maybe I should just suck it up, roll...

I'm unsure how you can support your statement that a preemptive policy has been effective at curtailing terrorism on US soil- could you please elaborate? In general, an operation in Iran would have to be justified with readily verifiable intelligence that the consequences of not acting far out...

I couldn't agree more, GW!  However, this type of treatment and reception should apply equally to posts from anyone.  For example, the statements "The war in Iraq was illegal, immoral, and unjustified" and "The war in Iraq was required for the stability and safety of the region and the Iraqi...

Why would they provoke one of the world's strongest militaries into war?  As noted before, both Iran and Syria would likely loose a war with the US (assuming the US pushes on until the end)- granted casualties would be high on both ends, but I fail to see why they would want to start that...

Speaking with my recruiting NCM, he did show me three back-to-back modularized CAP(R) courses starting in July (two weeks each).  I'll confirm dates next time I speak with him.

Actually, this is a little bit of a sore point for me.  I'm admittedly left or centre- this doesn't preclude me from embodying some traditionally "right" ideas nor does it bound me to a Liberal platform.  I try to be receptive to a wide array of thinking and when there is a cohesive and...

To be clear, I wasn't advocating the use of an armour-only approach ;D

Joining the Army Reserves is a commitment that you should take seriously.  Your initial training period would be pretty intensive over the summer months- which would be ideal for a student attending high school/university.  The pay is decent and the job is very rewarding.  During other times of...

To that I add that a SWAT unit also has to worry about non-combatants much more in their situation than an infantry unit operating in unfriendly BUA.  Has the old doctirine of using armour to breach buildings gone by the wayside?  Similar to a dozer, but can be used for gaurd duties in the...
