... We have 50 year-old helicopters falling out of the sky, instead of hovering above the ground as science intended… Furthermore our helicopters are incapable of defending the crews aboard if ever involved in direct combat.

The main combat and defence weapon Canada has are over flown 30-year old CF-18’s, in case you didn’t know a great deal of the existing fleet have been grounded due to airframe stress and cracks. Also in case anyone was wondering the jets have 2 runway locations: One in Quebec and one in Alberta, this is one of the largest geographical nations on earth with 3 ocean boarders; so if an emergency happened in Newfoundland, it seems highly doubtful any aircraft would arrive on time to act.

Canada’s infantry and army coverage in times of crisis is an absolute joke, numerous administrations including the previous one led by Jean Chretien have gone out of their way to decimate the various army divisions. Canada will be one of the first Western World nations that I’m aware which plans to completely eliminate and phase out its military tank division in 2005/2006. Add to the fact that we have soldiers being sent out in basket case desert real estate throughout the Middle East dressed in bright green uniforms so they can be picked off one by one. It’s so bad in fact I had someone tell me a story about dumping paint on a uniform and then rolling around in the sand so that it would stick and dry onto the uniform acting as a poor man version of camouflage. Oh and by the way stories have been appearing in various papers that the training facilities in which new soldiers are trained are doing so without bullets for the machine guns.

Submarines are meant to submerge and then float back up like a boat, right? Can someone please tell me why we have ancient submarines which are dead at sea? We have had a number of submarines that have attempted to make crossings of the Atlantic Ocean, and have been stranded around Scotland and Ireland now during the last number of years dead in the water...
