All true, including the rugby bit which I enjoyed immensely over my almost 40 years of playing. I over-reacted...and I should have taken it to DMs. It was the second post in a short period that was dismissive of the USMC using old stereotypes, and it got up my nose. I retract my statements...

Not // Not laughing....."buddy". There is a not very fine line between funny and flat-out ignorant. This is not funny. But you do you. I on the other hand will honour and protect those I have served with from the aspersions of the drive by fruiters. If you have a funny meme about...

So...have you ever served with the Marines? Or met one? In your 4 years service 20 odd years ago? Because you sure seem to think they are stupid...

Wait for it...

I have met this man on more than one occasion. He, along with Gens Dunford and Mackenzie (who I have worked for) are some of the smartest and most effective leaders that I have ever met

Great question....but I imagine there ill not be an honest answer. #fuckthemanohdamniamthemansowhatnow

What I find interesting is that, with very few exceptions, Reg F CAF pers do not ask to be posted to the NCR. Moreover, almost all of them come from units. I spent a fair bit of time in Bns. When I worked at Bde, Div, Army, and CJOC level, I didn't suddenly decide that my mission in life was...

Don't forget the quietly passed Bill that moves the planned election day in 2025 to the right by one week, so that many MPs will get their pensions....

Ah. Anecdotal. So not able to be corroborated. Or referenced. Or defended. And to be clear when you say "both actually", you mean that no one of rank is motivated by anything other than power and self-aggrandizement? I am assuming that you are at exactly the same rank that you joined...

Because clearly that is the only motivation for senior people. Not service. Not duty. Not honour. Or are you projecting based off of your experience with senior LEOs?

I think that you will find that some of the motivation for this is that troops in units do not have the option to work from home, so maybe staff and leaders in HQs should get up every day and go to work. Shared hardship and all of that. And as a preemptive statement - you may well have been...

For context, I joined both the Reserves as an NCM and Regs as an officer with Gr 11. I had a long and fruitful career. but it all started with Gr 11....

But but....it is Canada that said it. The same Canada that can't spot the punctuation. Our Allies are not saying "we need more Canada" They are saying "we need more, Canada". Classic let's eat Grandma stuff

This is incredibly galling, and is in my not at all humble opinion a firing offence. What "leader" doesn't read the int reports? I spent years reading the dailies first thing every morning, and I wasn't the fucking head of a G7 nation. Any bets on whether he ever passed up reading the press...
