Hey, welcome back NM! Your right of course about the Armed part, but I still use it as my little rebellion against the tree huggers who believe we're the worlds Boy Scouts.
We are actually not the Canadian Armed Forces. We are the Canadian Forces. The "armed" got removed some 15 or 20 years ago..ish. I don't remember exactly when.

I've still got one of those cheapo CANEX windbreakers in my closet that reads "Canadian Armed Forces" on the back. Got it in Halifax in 1983. Alas it doesn't fit anymore. Must be a collector's item by now.
Thanks Tom. I was going to point out that it remains in the NDA.
My own pet theory of why the "Armed" isn't seen much anymore is ink and paint. The amount we save by not painting those extra letters on our aircraft or having the inkjet spit it onto a letterhead is astronomical. ;D
