I agree with infanteer, as well on the discussion of the stryker all that is..just going cheap granted stryker can be used in the support role, and it is far better than an iltis, but IT SURE AS **** AIN<T NO TANK!!!! :tank:

And so the story continue‘s,we all know at our level of the inad of this veh,yet we are not privy to all the info that we assume dnd/politician‘s have, so why are we purchasing this piece of crap? And how about giving voice to the people in charge? Those that are currently serving are somewhat...

Answer to the question from FRANKO leo2 for our 4 reg regiments,stryker or similar veh for inf direct support, (stryker‘s attached perm to inf unit‘s)

i wrote a letter to casr and asked them to forward to the minister of defence, which stated that the stryker is not a tank‘ and would not have the confidence of the troop‘s,for all the obvious reason‘s stated on this post. but do you think it will make a diff, when the minister is getting his...

so what does that tell us, most certainly that the US is not willing to go to war with N KOREA because of the nuke thing and the casualtes would be huge for any percieved gain. but they did say that they would go anywhere there was a percieved threat. And is not N KOREA one of the 3 axis of...

ah the lament of those still ,in and the good souls that once served but are now out. the truth as i see it is the same as many,in the 80‘s when iwas still in i voted conserv at the time they said all the right thing‘s and did nothing,canadiens in general don‘t care enough most are concerned...

okay,ithink the orig statement was what our role,if any,would be in a world conflict? i would think that we would be a small mobile reserve,if you think about it any initial conflict would req that we wget to the conflict the fastest with the mostest, seeing as how we have the big neighbour...

i do not feel that the public in general accepts our budget limitations nor do they for the most part accept what our gover is dishing out, we can only hope that with a new gov that they will do the right thing and bring our forces up to snuff,we as antion do not have alimited or a medium...

Hey conair not to rain on your parade but what recce41 said is true,i served with strats for 9 yrs before retreading to the airforce.You may go in full of piss and vinegar enjoy those early years,because when its the same training,same time of year and generally in the same areas it gets old...

not to sling arrows as such,but the impression over the y ears is that when it comes to friendly fire deaths the americans have a dismal record you have to wonder with all the steps taken to avert such a situation, that the pilots must have been flying awfully low to be worried about small...

I agree with everyone of the comments,it should be taken up in radio andtelevision about patriotism or the lack of it in canada.Perceived or otherwise my impression after serving 14 yrs is that canadians just don‘t give a ****! excluding those that have served or are serving and im sure there...

IT does the heart good to see that many canadians are finally voicing their concern for the military,ive lost count the number of times ive seen our soldiers do without for lack of funding.Worse was the apathy canadians had towards people in uniform. i served 14yrs in the military and was...

Ah to dream...discussion is great but what can we do to get the politicians to listen? i am all for placing my name or whatever to help the cause to effect change, its time to do something. :cdn:

IT is our (the military) gen apathy and the apathy of the country with respect to security that is laughable. when i was in the service the ability of someone anyone to get on a military establishment was very easy indeed, the thought that someone could get access to uor hardware is appaling we...

Answer .....yes he does! we are atool used on the political arena to make the gov of the day look good while placing uor troops in harms way with inadeqate eqp, and its been doing this for years. at the current strength limit the tours, increase manpower invest in good and plentiful eqp, and...

It does bother me that we argue the demise of a weapons system that no army could do wthout, while some of the arguements for more or faster lavs , and a syst of integrated units has its merits, my personal opinion is that for the sake of pride in country,pride in service,for complete combat...

i must say that i have been out of the loop for many years .It has only been ,since we sent something to afghanistan that my desire to know the state of affairs pewrtaining to the military,have been aroused. I LIKE THE LEO 2A5 JUST BECAUSE THE GERMANS ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO MAKE A GREAT TANK!. That...
