That's a complete disgrace and our military leaders and government have again completely failed. We have no readiness at all. We couldn't defend a brothel from a boy scout troop.
Maybe we're back to the old days that I remember well when we went on exercises and were issued 10 blank rounds for the week and told to yell bang when we ran out.
When you could use a screw driver to punch a hole in the side of a rusty armored vehicle. And where our 1940's era radios would explode if you didn't do the two dial tune quick enough.
Canada's military needs far more capable officers then the ones we have now. We need a government to just decide that we can't have a capable military and issue out ceremonial uniforms and shiny phony tanks and vehicles and have a parade military and arm a militia with pitchforks. |
Ha, that brought back some good memories.
Armoured using the high beams of the Iltis as the "main gun".
I still have a lump on the back of my skull from the PRC-77.
I've laughed at Russia and their military, but are we any different?
It might look good on paper, but pull back the curtain and it look horrible.
