Gimme a real challenge like landing a C-130 fully loaded at night time. In a war zone.

Thousands of hours wasted spent on DCS and MSFS, I got this

Which side is the front though? Instructions are almost always on the back of the box.

Do I face towards enemy and throw it? Do I face my enemy? These instructions are nebulous and vague!!

Also easy - there’s a movie for that too.

Recall Tom Hanks’ Sticky bomb from Saving Private Ryan.

I'm not giving up my socks!!

If you can't figure it out you don't deserve to live.

Guys maybe shotinthebacklund is right.

This rag tag group of Canadian civilians could easily take down elite Russian units with our movie and video game know-how.

I’m in! Whose with me?

Screw it, I have a few days off, let's go

I'm 41, yeah I'm not volunteering if we formally entered the war. However, should that happen and Russia actually invades our Arctic - or even further south - that's another matter altogether. And at that point, I think "volunteering" goes out the window for any able-bodied person under 65.

Now I don't think that's actually going to happen, but just saying.

Discussing the what if implications is always interesting.

If, and that's a big if, we were invaded by a non-NATO country, I'm reasonably certain the response from our football loving neighbors to the south would be swift and decisive.

If our football loving neighbors to the south are the ones doing the invading, I'm reasonably sure that Locke from accounting and Iliketopuck from finance aren't going to turn the tides.

I'm in too. I flew a C-172, that's a bigger number than C-130, I so got this.

I still haven't heard a good answer as to where we'll plug in our CPAPs on the battlefield.

You get a standard issue Gas-Mask...thats close enough to the same thing, right?

Or...

"How come the Tank wont start? He what?? Sliver disconnected the battery to power his CPAP machine? We're all going to DIE!!!"

Think 'Police Academy' but in the Army and with less competence, more dangerous weaponry and significantly greater Hijinx.

JFC, the CP battalion out there would be a real #### show, wouldn't it.

I’ve had to “sleep” with a gas mask on

It sucked balls
