I was making a joke when the poster was put up about the Canadian Air Force and I basically remarked that it looked like a museum display, but in a lot of ways I'm dead serious about how utterly clueless the Government is about what the Military does on a day to day basis and what they need.

I also think that the current Defense Minister needs to be shuffled out of his position, beyond being caught in more then one lie, the guy is a weakling when it comes to fighting for what's right, and has no credibility left with the current military.

When the Liberals came out with their position paper, it sounded like a typical government document, basically we'll get something done some day, its now become an even bigger example of broken promises.

We're rapidly approaching the point of crisis with the Military where it will no longer be functional and no longer be savable without a massive re-investment.

At this point, we might as well take the defense budget and pay the American's to take over North American defense policy and staffing.

CC I have said this before and I will say it again.

There is only one constant with the Canadian Military and that is the abuse/neglect it receives from all/any party in power.
