The best example was FDR’s National Industrial Recovery Act, a fascist program that would have fit perfectly in Mussolini’s fascist Italy. Under the NIRA, federal officials organized private American businesses, industries, and corporations into giant cartels that established “codes of fair competition,” which set prices, wages, and production in their particular sectors, all enforced by federal force. More than 500 codes of “fair practice” were developed. Not surprisingly, FDR put a military man, retired Hugh Johnson, to run this fascist program. https://www.fff.org/2016/03/10/hey-fdr-was-a-fascist-too/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like the US ,,,,Congress has allocated funds for all U.S. troops to wear 16-pound, ceramic-plated Interceptor body armor (search), but as many as 51,000 American soldiers and civilian administrators in Iraq have not yet been equipped with the gear, and have been asking friends and families at home to purchase and send them off-the-shelf models for protection.

Now that's pathetic. Trump is an existential threat to Canada's economy because no other nation in the world is so dependent on the USA market, investment capital, and military. And then there is the problem using civilian humvee's in Iraq.....The Army began the Iraq war with an estimated $56 billion equipment shortage and has struggled to keep up with demands for new armor to protect against increasingly deadly bombs. In the case of FRAG Kit 5, the Army quickly produced a bolt-on version in limited quantities, while the permanent version has taken longer than expected to develop, test, produce and install. Meanwhile, the unexpected deployment of five additional Army brigades into Baghdad has created an urgent need for 2,000 Humvees with the new armor. So it looks like Uncle Sam has the same issue of not supplying proper equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it out of the Trade surplus that the US has with Canada. That the only time NATO’s mutual defense clause was invoked was by European and Canadian governments in solidarity with the us after the September 11 attacks. Touching as the show of solidarity after September 11 was, Canada was the only ally whose military cooperation was essential, and that cooperation is provided bilaterally through the North American Aerospace Defense agreements.

Our nation answered the call of an allied , Canada would have done this regardless of the nation , it was all part of the defensive agreement we signed..... "The Canadian government" Sacrificed the lives of our troops because it was to cheap to provide our military with the equipment it needed to do the job...And it's citizens let them get away with it...despite everything the military did to convince the people that we where under equipped, under manned, from troops complain to the media, complaints to government commissions sent over seas in the thousands of dog and pony shows so they could get a picture with the troops....we even made huge affairs about sending the boys home in flagged draped coffins, to be escorted down the high way of hero's…. and nothing..

One example would be the treatment of the wounded . The government tried to come up with a better way to treat veterans. Your half truth implies there was an effort to deny treatment and benefits. Without getting into all the details that is simply hog wash. No policy is accepted as a 100% by everyone but unlike rapid tribalists i understand everyone has their interest at heart left and right alike.

Army Guy Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Maybe you should do some searching on google, try a retired major in Ottawa, lost both his legs in Afghanistan, he has to prove his legs are still missing before they continue his treatment last time I checked legs do not grow back, so why does the VAC make him prove it every year, he has been the subject of many of media news stories…..he has gone through this process for years, there are hundreds of examples with many court cases still ongoing .....you do the research and then tell me all of our wounded were looked after like they should have been...What about the soldier that called Justin recently ,out west during his talk to the people tour..., he to lost a leg during Afghan.... It is true the government has brought in new policy's…..most of them had nothing to do what Vets wanted, rather than what some politician thought vets needed....The fact some vets are denied treatment and benefits are facts, Why have vets taken the government to court, because they are bored, and have nothing to do....Look into mental health issues across the forces, not enough docs to look at and treat all the military guys that need it....they are overwhelmed and many soldiers are sent home with 6 to 8 months between appointments, soldiers are forced to go to civilian hospitals for treatment in between if they have issues....and we wonder why there has been so many suicides... Your right no policy is ever 100 % correct, Vets want the one that harper tore apart it was working.....but they tore it down for a reason it is saving them bils…..and they don't want to bring it back.....Because we are asking more than the government is willing to give..... http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/kent-hehr-veterans-court-benefits-1.3586013 http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/disabled-veterans-equitas-supreme-court-1.4510457 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/veterans-ask-supreme-court-if-canada-has-a-special-obligation-to-those-disabled-in-service/article37801608/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/veteran-frustrated-by-paperwork-to-prove-he-still-has-no-legs-1.2866389 Edited June 14, 2018 by Army Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
