You'd rather fight the ones who'd use IEDs, don't wear a uniform so they look no different than anyone else as soon as they toss away their weapon or blow you up at a checkpoint with their car or wearing a bomb, or just sending some dumb kid with a grenade as well as having been hardened by fighting already for over a year vs Russian poorly paid conscripts wearing a uniform who will at least likely follow most of the rules of war? Not to mention Ukrainian allies who know how to shoot vs the 'allies' in the Middle East who more than likely to shoot you in the back because they're actually IS/Taliban/whatever?

I think only the special forces and a few others for consultation will be sent, maybe some aircraft and a ship. More or less (much, much less) like the US since they don't want boots on the ground but are using their special forces and air force for surgical strikes. The Kurdish and Arab allies are the ones going in on the ground.

In the past it didn't mean much, just Russia being Russia. But they're really pushing it now.

Ps. Heard the guns at Fortissimo from where I was working. Good shooting. :)

The police will do whatever it is they decide to do to him. He hasn't even lost his job, it's suspension with pay. He'll be back to work as soon as the media is bored and find something else to talk about so that there's no reporters hounding the worksite.

I understand the truths behind the article it just seems very politically slanted. I'm not in yet, but I find it hard to believe that article is not biased or exaggerated in some way. Wouldn't infantry in reg force (not during bmq) not shooting any bullets defeat the entire purpose of the trade? How would you even do zeroing with so few bullets?

It's happened before in the Dark Decade. No ammo for anything, the Arty guns were placed on blocks because they wouldn't or couldn't replace the wheels, if you were in Armoured you drove around in jeeps pretending to be a tank.

Sea Kings are still falling out of the sky with absolutely no replacements in sight.

The Liberals are still remembered for the Dark Decade, they're not much better, and absolutely none of the parties are saying anything about improving health care and education either.

He went missing in Owen Sound the night after graduation and they found his body 6 days later near the water filtration plant.

No indication in any articles on whether they're suspecting foul play.

Update:

The investigation is concluded, police doesn't suspect foul play.

Was the Sea King team sworn to secrecy too?

Maybe if they were getting the newest and greatest attack helicopters coated in stealth crap and other Gucci tech, but not for basically a transport/rescue helicopter. Though how long it took/is taking just to replace THAT is loving insane, our procurement process is a loving joke.
