A hundred years ago we had a Canadian Survey Corps Major on exchange on a job in Papua New Guinea. The Canadians had not long changed to combined forces or whatever it was called.
Apart from the Australian soldiers treating him like an Air Force officer ie ignoring him because of his stripes, he was openly depressed that politicians and their politically correct advisors were allowed to destroy a heritage going back to before the Romans. The separation of land, sea and later air, elements recognised their unique areas of expertise along with specialised skill and training. The bleeding hearts can not come to grips with the fact an army is purely and simply a killing machine. No matter how you dress it up with parades, rescues in flood/fire/famine or "peace keeping", the only reason for spending an obscene amount of money on an army is in the hope we can kill more of them than they kill of us before our country is occupied or destroyed in times of absolute national threat. A big part of this is tradition and many is the time a smaller or lesser equipped force with greater belief in themselves has defeated a superior enemy purely through morale. Having everyone in the same school uniform using contrived names, ranks and job descriptions seriously damages the backs-to-the-wall motivation of the entire force. Great move Canada to finally see some sense! Lang Last edited by Lang; 10-07-13 at 05:54. |

The Windsor crown is with us for a while. I have no idea where or how I remember this factoid, but Prince William apparently has no interest in changing the crowns. They are too deeply ingrained across the Commonwealth to change easily. (While HRH Queen Elizabeth II had to change when she stepped up is beyond my pay grade.)

Well all us blue guys ,if we revert back to our pre Hellyard ,as Warrant officers ,we now become Flight Sergeants..
Yea..Bring it on!! Canadian politicians are not and never have been interested in defence," he wrote, adding "the Canadian public cannot escape a share of the blame. Too many of our people think that all we enjoy was always there, was not fought for, will just continue, without our personal attention. We are no longer pulling our weight in international affairs. While some reasonable degree of freedom still remains for us under our form of government, we must face the fact that this freedom will soon disappear unless we exercise our rights wisely. We must take greater pains to ensure that we are well enough informed to choose wise leaders - perhaps, great leaders. Jeff Brock Rear Admiral http://www.navalandmilitarymuseum.or...ification.html
