The main reason the kicked out the Canadians, is because they had been under British rule in the area and did not want any British there no more, and we Canadians at the time still wore a British style uniform. Hence Pearson pushed to have the new flag with no Union Jack and to have Canadian...

I decided to go hiking around Montreal, Mount Royal in particular. There is a large cemetery in the center of the mountain and decided to go for a walk through there. I had heard there was a strike by the cemetery workers there and had heard that there are quite a few families upset that there...

Medal of Honor for being a section commander (squad leader) but as a first person shooter Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360) online, there is nothing even close.

Wait till they bring in the reserve pention, I have my old service that I can apply but I need to show proof, since I was out more than 10 years all of my info is at Ottawa and I have to fill out some form throught some act. This will be a long process...

Rest in Peace brothers......

Lets look at the source, I saw this on the CBC news not on the CTV. So why are they een bringing this up at a time of grief. I think its sad that the CBC would think that it is more important to bring up this issue than to give a story on the soldier. Also we do not know the whole story, I know...

Yes when the 64 pattern webbing became available I could not wait to get it, it had Velcro and so forth and we where wearing Korean war 52 pattern at the time. It did not take long to see that it did not hold up like the webbing we returned, the 52 has more in common to the 82 pattern than the...

I used and still have my 64 pattern and use the 82 pattern. I think the reason they use the 64 pattern frame for jumping is because the frame for the 82 pattern is flimsy and will not stand up to parachuting.  Just before you land you drop your equipment bellow you on a tether and the thin steel...

I think that the reason the government is involved is because when you have one person die, then who is the beneficiary under the law, if we do not allow gay unions or marriages then the living person who is part of the union or whatever has no rights what so ever by law, and could lose all of...

Looks like the moral authority swings both way's.

Being a old guy and I do not know if anyone else has some memories of the past, but I was stationed in Germany in October 6, 1973 when Syria and Egypt invaded Israel with the support of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states and also the support of the Soviet Union (Airlift of equipment). Israel...

The only comment I have is that ex-general O'Connor was in the military and a Gemeral and he thinks the way he does. I keep hearing all the time that Ottawa and the Generals have no idea what is going on and if he is saying the things he is it sure makes you think.
