Thank you for that. This is my friend, who was in Afghanistan. The tank on the right is the one she took out, and she's holding the shell. She took a bullet there, as well.

at this juncture, the cancer which once only infected DND, has now spread to the entire government you are witnessing the collapse of federal government capacity across the board, in real time the postmodernist Woke Marxist cult has infiltrated every institution resulting in an utter obsession with race, gender & environmental doomsday, to the exclusion of all else the Government of Canada itself has fallen to this lunatic Utopian cult so you cannot rely on any institution in Canada anymore least of all the military all you can do is network with other like minded citizens to train yourselves, prepare for the coming collapse of civil order circle the wagons with your neighbours protect the women & children

Moonbox and Herbie don’t have a valid critique of the speech, not on a single point. Every single phrase of the speech was true and important. The fact that anything he said would be considered in any way controversial only validates the speech’s content. If there’s no unifying purpose of honour in the military and no requirement of soldiers to represent that purpose, then we have fragmentation and weakness. The hard truth for supporters of our government is facing up to the hypocrisy and lies of a leadership that pretends to represent values but actually follows the direction of public opinion which changes day to day and is multi-polar. Our current leaders don’t have a strong moral guiding post because they’re too afraid that such a post will be renounced by confused activists like Herbie who want to tear everything of value down. I’d go further and say that most Canadians aren’t represented by government anymore because what most Canadians want and value — a healthy family, economic opportunity, freedom, and pride in their communities and country — is called colonial or retrograde by our own government. Anyone who says what most people think is under threat of cancellation. The Hardners and other retirees on here might not understand this. Literally all of my organization’s goals are centred around equity activism. People are forced under threat of unemployment and cancellation to say things they don’t believe publicly and few have the bravery and intellect to bring rational perspective to training discussion. Our government and mainstream media are working against Canadian values. In fact, Canadians are more confused, divided, and ashamed as a people than I’ve seen in my lifetime. This is what happens when poor leadership fails to unify people around important values. What are our government’s values? Unlimited abortion and euthanasia rights? Censorship of the internet? Shaming of Canada? Free sex changes for kids? Insulting half the country for having “unacceptable views”? In this context how can we return to caring about the important values that used to be top priority: supporting families, enhancing opportunity, strengthening the physical health of citizens and our military, protecting freedom and democracy, supporting the community? Today it’s more important to recognize the self-made labels of the confused teen who wears a tail and identifies as a furry than it is to teach math, language, or science to them. We’re actually destroying our young people by pretending that their whims should have priority over the skills, knowledge, and wisdom that they need to succeed. Our civilization needs restoration but I’m not sure we can do it. Russia and China see these vulnerabilities. Hopefully we still value liberal-democracy enough to defend it.

Some highlights: 1. White privilege is a myth and a lie and should be completely destroyed. It is rooted in racism. It is a racist idea. 2. Why don't they talk about Asian American privilege? Asian Americans were treated horribly in the 1940s and 1950s. We treated them horribly and put them in internment camps. Then through a series of decades of making good choices, they have now become the richest per capital racial sub group in America. We never hear about Asian/American privilege. I never hear about people getting so upset that Asian Americans are getting the PHDs, the degrees, all the good jobs in California, yet they are trying to target white people. I'll probably be back in a couple of days, to see how stupid this thread becomes. Facts are facts. There is NO White privilege whatsoever.

These words will be forgotten tomorrow, already being condemned by irrelevant woke crowd who somehow think this man's opinions are an embarrassment to this nation. it makes me ill sometimes to think how far a great instruction like our Military has fallen to the state it is in today, be it our equipment status, our manning status, how many Soldiers, sailors, and air force members are leaving in droves, not all the people they are attracting now are up to the standards required to defend this nation, or close with and destroy our enemies. It seems the left has or is in mid step in destroying or dismantling our security apparatus, through cuts to budgets, manpower, and equipment, and the Canadian people are fine with that, most even clap at the job being down. in exchange for other programs like dental care or childcare where in a few years will also be under funded, when are we going to learn, are we even smart enough to learn these lessons. I think it is the new generations who do not care what they can do for the country, instead have their hands out waiting for the next social program, it's all about me, and F*ck the country, i pay my taxes, they owe me. I know it is hard for them to hear the country owes you nothing. we expect a few things from our country, good health care, every province and the Federal government has failed us, same as education, justice , every governmental department , defense of the nation, policing, fire all of it are under manned or underfunded, and we Canadians think that is normal, shit we even called for cutting funded to our police forces the men and women who do great things every day to keep us safe, with what little support they have. 'Making Canada better': An excerpt from the anti-woke speech by a general that caused an uproar (msn.com) There are many other media outlets that have covered the topic, but the leftist slant is almost to much.

Lefties yell at the sky again ?

What you seem to lack is any sense of realpolitik. There are things we can do without hurting ourselves - much and there are things we can't. I am not for harming ourselves over what will mostly be nothing more than a symbolic act. Distancing ourselves from China would hurt more but China is an existential threat to our freedom and democracy. It also cheats at trade and any other agreements it makes. The more trade you have with them the more opportunity they have to blackmail you. And they will use it at every opportunity shamelessly, brazenly not caring who knows it.

I think it would have been better if the industrial revolution had unfolded more slowly. We could have benefitted from a lot more social evolution. I'm reminded of the question Jody Foster's character in the movie Contact would ask of the advanced aliens 'how did you do it, how did you survive your species adolescence without destroying yourself'?

Rupa Subramanya: Canada's illiberal backsliding It’s ironic that, by some measures, Canada, which we once assumed to be a bastion of liberal democracy, is becoming increasingly illiberal Is Canada becoming an illiberal democracy? That description is typically associated with developing countries such as India, or recent democracies such as Hungary, where right-of-centre governments are accused by western observers of democratic backsliding and an illiberal turn. It’s ironic, then, that, by some measures, Canada, which we once assumed to be a bastion of liberal democracy, is becoming increasingly illiberal. Sure, we have a government that is ostensibly centre-left and claims to have a “progressive” and “inclusive” agenda. Yet it was the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that invoked highly illiberal emergency powers during peacetime. You would think that in a country in which many people, certainly many of the elites, profess liberal and progressive values, a lot of them would have been disturbed by last winter’s declaration of an emergency. Police forces acting under government orders broke up a peaceful protest in the nation’s capital, and the bank accounts of many innocent Canadians who participated in, or gave support to, the Freedom Convoy were frozen. We recently learned through secret cabinet documents that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland wanted individuals whose bank accounts had been frozen to be denied their cash until they reported to the police. The suggestion was not ultimately acted upon, but was made public in a redacted document shared with the Public Order Emergency Commission. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. What is even more alarming is that the major banks were apparently pleased with this suggestion. One financial institution, Farm Credit Canada, a Crown corporation that provides financial services primarily to farms, went so far as to tell its employees to proactively and secretly record the names of customers who they suspected may have been involved with the convoy, according to a Blacklock’s Reporter story based on documents provided through an access to information request. This sounds more like communist East Germany, than India or Hungary. But it’s not just the liberal elite who seem to be giving up on liberal values in Canada. A recent poll by Innovative Research Group found that 51 per cent of Canadians surveyed said that they supported the use of the Emergencies Act, which is actually up two per cent since February. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/canadas-illiberal-backsliding

The amount of propaganda in this thread is breathtaking. It really is true, the very first casualty in any war is the truth. What did Churchill say again about the truth? "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."

Margaret Thatcher did not start any wars the Provisional Irish Republican Army were terrorists launching attacks in the United Kingdom the Argentine Fascist Junta invaded the Falkland Islands in an aggressive war against British sovereign territory

I suspect most of the women in the military are more like Margaret Thatcher than Margaret Trudeau. They'd be quite capable of starting wars too.

Actually, Trump created more high paying jobs than the last FIVE Democrat presidents combined. And he single handedly created a ten billion dollar international empire with his superior business skills. What did Democrats create?

That is a lie and you are a LIAR.

The water was so calm it was like glass today, warm and sunny...in the middle of November...its been like this for days, it's phenomenal. You'd never guess it was the end of the world.

They promote multiculturalism , so the Chinese agents are nicely balanced with agents from India, the Philippines and all other countries imaginable.?

If you want to be rich like Trump, inherit money.

^This can't be. Trump said he would NOT go back. He wouldn't LIE, would he? LMAO Of course he would.

I think he's probably regretting ever even considering buying it. But, even with all the missteps, Twitters more popular than ever. It's like driving by an accident... Everyone's gawking at the implosion.

He undoubtedly learned that from watching Trump. ?

How MAGA of you... All puffed up grade school bully name calling action. At least y'all don't break character.

Totally bizarre to me that 85.7% of deaths are amongst the vaccinated population, vaccinated people are contracting covid over and over sometimes within weeks of outbreaks, millions of SAE around the world to the point that many countries are starting to question the narrative and ban the jabbers and have Parliamentary debates on what is happening, athletes dropping dead on sports fields all over the world, 84% increase in myocarditis in children, millions of women experiencing menstrual/fertility issues, the lowest vaxxed countries have now moved past covid, but highly-vaxxed countries still struggling...............but Eyeball, Dialamah, etc still here arguing that they are "safe & effective". The power of propaganda. Just stunning.

That’s a great line: “They call human nature ‘culture’ and claim they can change culture.” We used to understand and respect nature. Now we pretend we’re above it. Yes civilization and politeness can repress a great deal quite successfully most of the time, but too much repression of nature leads to psychosis. That’s why we have sports and the arts, but it’s also why we have a certain amount of the underside: porn, booze, etc. I think we have to avoid putting people in impossible situations where they will do what they have to to manage their demons/Id.

I fully agree

We do know for sure now. We know: Covid deaths were inflated all over the world because of the misleading way covid deaths were counted, per Fauci and the WHO's direction - any death "with" covid, was counted as a covid death and those who experienced covid, an SAE or death within 2 weeks of being jabbed, were also counted as covid related and "unvaccinated." We know that the 6 million "covid deaths" is false. We know from multiple studies now, that: For every 6.4 people that Moderna kept out of the hospital for covid, it inflicted 15.1 serious adverse events. For every 2.3 people that Pfizer kept out of the hospital for covid, it inflicted 10.1 serious adverse events. We know the jabs are causing an 84% increase in peri and myocarditis in children and young adults. We know this because many countries have halted the jabs in children, based on that information. Many countries have banned the jabs in people under 50 for the same reason. We know that the jabs are nowhere near the "100% safe and 95% effective" BS we were fed from the start. We know this because of the data coming in now from highly-vaccinated countries all over the world, that the jabs do not stop transmission and spread - leading the manufacturers and regulatory boards to admit, finally, that they lied about the safety and efficacy. (Really, though, how could you be so gullible to believe them when they assured you that an experimental product, using a novel method of delivery, released only under emergency use authorization, with no long-term data was "safe & effective"?? They couldn't have known whether it was safe or effective.) We know that the manufacturers tried to legally keep the trial data from the public for 75 years and forced governments to sign contracts absolving them of all responsibility in the even the experiment was a huge failure. That doesn't sound shady to you? And once they were forced to release the data, it was obvious why they wanted it hidden for so long. We know that under normal circumstances, such a vaccine would have been pulled from the market for far less. We know (and have known for many years) that Big Pharma and the alphabet entities supposed to regulate them have been compromised. The drug companies are essentially grading their own homework. We know that normal scientific dialogue and challenge has been squashed out of existence. There's so much more. These are the FACTS. I mean, YOU KNEW this was a global experiment on humans from the beginning, did you not? YOU KNEW there was no long-term data. So why deny it when, after 2 1/2 years, it's finally coming in? Surely you're not naive enough to believe profit isn't a huge motivator for Big Pharma, are you? Were you completely unaware of their propensity to put profit above public health in the past? Or you're just "hoping" they're not doing it this time - AGAIN? Look, you're not a stupid woman. Quit acting like you are and start facing the facts. You were lied to. We all were. You don't have to continue going along with the BS. Sorry, but the repetitive, drolling, embarrassing, flailing BS that's going on now, is just reeking of desperation. I mean, I brought up the Doug Brignole death as ANOTHER example of how the jabs are not safe or effective and you seriously just argued the opposite. I mean, really? The high number of jabbed people contracting and dying of covid and you STILL can't see you've been lied to? And don't say "Well, they didn't know in the beginning." Because they bloody well did. They ADMITTED they knew from the beginning the jabs were not going to stop transmission. They just were hoping everyone would get 5-10 jabs before we all found out how useless and dangerous they really were. They bloody well knew what the science was on mRNA shots, efficacy of masks, lockdowns etc. They bloody well knew what happens when you vaccinate with leaky vaccines and they knew these ones were especially leaky! They bloody well knew the science on OAS and immune imprinting. They bloody well knew about natural immunity, yet insisted people who already had covid HAD to get jabbed, too. They bloody well knew these jabs were a looooooooooooonnnnnnnggggg shot.

I don't know if that's true, but I do think that patriotism is a morality and that generation had it in spades.

What's this one going to say when DeSantis DeClares his candidacy?

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/09/21/illegal-aliens-deported-from-marthas-vineyard-want-to-return-to-beautiful-island/ Illegal Aliens, Deported from Martha’s Vineyard, Want to Return to ‘Beautiful’ Island Likewise, some residents on Martha’s Vineyard said the Obamas should open their seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bathroom estate to the illegal aliens who want to return to the island. To house the 50 illegal alien arrivals, residents only needed to open just five Martha’s Vineyard homes so long as each could sleep 10 guests. To Breitbart News’s knowledge, no residents opened their homes to the arrivals. Wanna know what Martha's Vineyard resident Barak Saddam Hussein Obama did with illegal aliens? http://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/05/AP_968430310369.jpg And you libs complain because Governor DeSantis shipped those animals to THIS lovely place.

Does anyone else feel like they need a new hobby?

Your statements are vile, callus and inappropriate. Forum rules forbid me from saying what I personally think of you. It's not pleasant.

He misappropriated taxpayer funds for political theater. The guys a felonious asshat

Floridians act like the least educated folks in America. Why? Because they've elected a POS like DeSantis twice. .... Garbage mouthed MAGA miscreants who call migrants "animals" belong in Florida with all the like minded dimwits. Also, one of those "dumb ass" blue states... You know, the ones you say have "lousy economies" just happens to have the 5th largest economy on the planet.... Bam!! You've been proven WRONG trumpie!! https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/10/24/icymi-california-poised-to-become-worlds-4th-biggest-economy/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwii6MfE_br7AhVUH0QIHfbpDjUQFnoECAsQAg&usg=AOvVaw2IljyWvFefv7xq7T2k7ws6

She doesn't care. Doesn't give a rat's patootie about people with side effects or deaths. Doesn't care that children are taking the hit for her to have that extra 0.000002% "safety" - physically, emotionally, psychologically, socially. It's worth it to her for children to suffer for no friggin' reason. She wants to cling to the lies fed to her from the beginning. She mocked and laughed at anyone who tried to tell her the jabs wouldn't stop transmission, wouldn't slow the spread, that natural immunity was a thing and that the jabs would cause and are causing, heart attacks. In spite of the lies, she has to continue to gobble up everything that's fed to her or lose face. Everything I have posted from the censored and silenced doctors and scientists from the beginning has turned out to be true and now she's mad. I don't really blame her - I'd be mad to too if I bought the lies hook, line and sinker and injected myself repeatedly with an experimental product that turned out to be nothing that was promised. I understand why she takes it out on me and not the ones who have been lying to her. It's the human way, but it does make us lose our humanity eventually, when we refuse to face up to truths and persist in following those who have lead us astray. Her comment earlier about how she hopes a public inquiry will reflect all positions, rings especially hollow. Since she has agreed all along with censoring scientific dialogue and challenge. The actual heart of science. She sold her soul to the agenda of pathological liars and went along with persecuting and segregating fellow human beings. On a subconscious level, that's gotta hurt.

What backtrack? I said he died a week after his booster, in the original post. Starting to think the studies that show increased and accelerated rates of dementia after jabbing might have some merit to them......

Where was I howling at the moon? I merely agreed with you that this speech would be quickly dismissed and regarded as irrelevant and tone-deaf. Perhaps you could clarify all the things he outlined that were wrong with the actual military, rather than the shopping list of MAGA grievances that he checked off? This isn't even really hyperbole. Aside from claims of stolen elections, he pretty much ran the full program, including complaining about Hilary Clinton.

Look when i first joined the military, i had no time for women in any military trade, they were distractions, waste of training opportunities. and when the country started experimenting with women in the army, i hated the idea even more. the women they had picked the women for this trail were not even army material becasue they (HQ)wanted it to fail. that was over 40 years ago, and most women serving now have found their stride and are as good or better than their male counter parts. granted there are some shi* pumps, both female and male. Todays military women mostly populate the admin or logistics branch's with a good sampling in the air force. Afghanistan was a different conflict their where no front lines, anything outside the gate of your camp was hostile, with some of our worst casualties coming right at the main gate with a suicide bomber jumping on the hood of an open-air Iltis. My point is everyone in uniform had to take turns going on logistical runs, including full colonels. sex had no preference; a soldier was a soldier. With all that said, not many nations had soldiers captured, mostly due to the nature of how we operated in large formations. And the amount of fire power one had at their fingertips, ie fighters and artillery could respond within minutes and change the bad guy's world for good. Rape is all about control, and it works just as well on men as it does women, in fact i think it would work better on men, as it is not something we have ever been confronted with in normal life, well not many A type personalities of soldiers anyways. So it would devastate them. Women that have earned their spot to be in the Infantry or whatever combat arms position, have made it clear, they don't want anyone fussing over them, they know what the job is, and if you get in their way, they'll cut your balls off. there are dozens of female infanteers , both in the ranks or as officers so far most have earned, they're places alongside the men, don't get me wrong there are shi* pumps in every job. but they are normally weeded out before they can do harm. Being in combat operations is exhausting, working 20 hours a day is common, working days at a time is normal, now if you can think about being lonely or sex in-between those times, you're a better man than me. But anything is possible, there are more cases of camp romances in the main camps or rear areas. But outside the wire, well you get a full shower maybe once every 2 weeks, the rest it's a one-liter bottle of water to take a bird bath, brush your teeth ,wash your pits, and balls, and treat your sand flea bites "IF" there is enough water, water is for drinking mostly not washing. it was plus 50 in the shade...now if you can get turned on with all that happening, you're the man. Not going to lie there are some that have jumped on this me-too movement bring up sexual assault accusations 35 years after the fact. but i think that is in any profession. And your right they are putting people in positions based on wall charts, which have to balance color, religion, creed, etc... so ya there are a good chunk that are not best qualified for the job. Not sure when this became a Canadian trait, but it is alive and well, Canadian taxpayers don't care how much the government spends, look at the Ship building program, it has gone up form 15 bil to 90 bil and nobody is screaming for a cancelation. Subs are one examples, our new LAV 6.0 we cut our LAV III in half put a new LAV 6.0 bottom on and rewelding them back together, we never touched anything on the top half, all to save money, but not lives. Same as our tanks we purchased 90 plus tanks, but we only have 40 tanks that are combat ready, LeoIIA4M, and LEO IIa6M the others are old obsolete LeoIIa4 training tanks. All of these choices are political, and none of the people making them have any experience with the military. It like sending your wife to the hardware store to pick out your tolls,or having your husband picking out your cooking utensils.

The word is week. I get paid by the Russians exactly the same amount you get paid by the Ukrainian Nazis.

No it isn't no matter what wikipedia told you. As mentioned, it uses a dedicated and very specific radar homing guidance provided by auxiliary vehicles or separate mounts in the Navy version. One doesn't just slap a GPS unit on one and turn it into a ballistic missile. If Russia needs old ballistic missiles, it will break-open the old Scud garages and let them out.

No one is fooled by trying to discredit valid criticisms by labeling them as “MAGA” or “conspiracy clown”.

Only a complete imbecile would think that life today under the woke-green fascists is better than life was several years ago. Then again, prisoners in the panopticon start unconsciously imprisoning themselves. High cost of living, the return of Cold War tension, inflation, cancel culture, public health and climate fear porn, race-based hiring, 58 genders… No thanks

Evidently he was referring to you.

I'm assured by fellow posters here that sleeping outside for months in freezing weather (as the bullets fly) is being looked forward to by the always victorious Ukrainian soldiers. And they're certainly always victorious. Civilians? Oh yes...them. Well, whadayahdo? They will love it, too.

More likely: recent claims that the relatively short ranged S-300 can be used as a ballistic missile (by completely retooling its very specific 30N6 FLAP LID homing-radar guidance system to "GPS") are intended to cover-up similar stray impacts on friendly targets throughout Ukraine by the Zelensky government. Russia did it...not us! Never us... A lot of S-300s are being fired...not all of them hit an aircraft. Not even close to all...

As mentioned...heh...this was a Ukrainian owned S-300. Now the warmongers are in the position of defending their mistake. Suck it. The S-300...and 400/500 series are very BIG surface to air missiles. Not for shelling elementary schools, hospitals...or Polish farmers. But, it does have reliability problems during launch...not so much while in flight. Quite deadly to aircraft. But, less effective vs a cruise missile. Reliability during launch?? Yup...it's a terror to its own crews. Once the pop-charge forces the missile out of its launch tube, the main engine fires...but not always. One runs as fast as possible at that point... All rockets can fail...Patriot failure below. But the S-300 is notorious...
