Alright, lemme jump in. I went out with a new buddy of mine last night and after a few cold ones we, of course talked Bush (Pres, that is). I found out he was completely Anti-Bush and a left -wing liberal opposed to our actions in Iraq. His main reason was that by Bush putting the UN on notice...
Michael OLeary hit it right on the head. Well said, sir. Well said. My opinion is a standing army is needed to defend its citizens and way of life from unimaginable threats. Domestic and International. Period. If you value your country, value the sacrifices those before you have made in shaping...
Ex-Dragoon, no I did not make the CF incompetent sounding or anything of that nature nor do I have any reason to think so. But yes, unfortunately the CF is overshadowed by the U.S. 10th Mountain in the book. Is it essentially about the U.S. 2-14th Infantry vs. Quebec Defense Force. The CF are...
East Side Soprano, I would say I am exceptionally technically accurate. For instance, when I introduced the Kiowa Scout chopper of the 10ths 3-17th Air Cavalry I went into the details of the Mast-Mounted Sight (MMS) or that three-eyed head on top of the main rotor that gives the imagry for the...
East Side, I of course had my influential authors that I liked and tried to emulate such as Clancy‘s earlier novels, Harold Coyle, Dale Brown, Larry Bond, Ralph Peters. And John Antal‘s "Combat Platoon Leader" and "Proud Legions". What they did in these novels and what I tried to do was switch...
Danjanou, I really appreciate your interest. I tried to give an objective opinion on both sides of the secessionist issue but also through the eyes of soldiers. Obviously, being American and writing about the American 10th Mountain you can definitely tell my persuasion but I did raise some...
NULL, I actually started writing the novel in 1998 and included the element of French "backing" way back then - way before last years antics with the United Nations and Operation Iraqi Freedom. As it turns out the French backstabbing in my book actually is very timely. What had spurred me back...
Danny, well of course the yanks save the day! If you decided to read the novel and get over your initial bias you‘ll find that Parliament has so drastically cut the CF that support from the NATO partner is deemed necessary. Afterall, I tried to make it as realistic as possible.
RHF, nice of you to introduce yourself. Didn‘t mean to start you off like that. IF you are a moderator feel free to delete it. Not a problem. Just trying to get as much initial exposure as possible and Current Affairs had a helluva lots more hits than the 184 in the Author Forum.
See the Canadian Army Author‘s Forum for my new book release called FLASHPOINT QUEBEC: Operation Joint Suppression.
Quebec finally secedes in 2005 under an ultranationalist Premiere that spouts ethnic hatred and extreme cultural nationalism. Under the NATO charter the Canadian Prime Minister...
