Sorry - I disagree.
In order to achieve the goal of having an elite, it is necessary to have a "farm/feeder system" to use a hockey analogy.
For the sake of argument, it might have been preferable to have retained the Airborne Regiment, and fulfilled the anti-terrorist task by standing up "5 Commando".
Carrying on with this theory, one would have been posted to 1, 2, or 3 Commando first - then, after a one or two year probation period, they would have been allowed to try out for 5 Cdo.
Of course, that‘s entirely too logical or practical, so it could never have happened.
As for the suggestion that the Canadian Army become just one entire JTF - "get a life".
There are more parts to the sword than just the pointy end - fact - period.
I do agree that JTF 2 is a welcome addition to the "starting lineup", just like a "power play" or "penalty-killing" line.
However, we still need the grinders and the checkers, and the entire farm team system, to ensure that we can maintain the highest quality at the pointiest end.
