fraserdw said:My point being that we are heading for the next "dark years" as we are no longer "politically sexy". In politics, once they no longer see you as a political points multiplier, you move to a position where you are no longer a backdrop, then next is usually big cut in the budget and a "make due with what you got" attitude toward your needs.
Hmm. Since 05 we went from a baseline of $13B-ish to $21B. We are a combat-hardened force who has made a deep and lasting (for Canada) connection to the people we serve. We have great kit, the respect of our Allies, and a new found sense of purpose.
Sure sounds dark to me.
