Canada used to be a nation of proud and brave men.
However, those men died at Vimy Ridge, Dieppe and Normandy. They are no more.

It is difficult to tell from this story, but that price may be for the whole set.
Even then, they would be overpriced. as the Germans are selling new Dolphin class subs for $375 million each. "Over the last year, industry sources said, HDW has reduced its price of the Dolphin for Israel from $610 million to $375 million per submarine. Officials said this has reflected slumping HDW sales as well as a decision to continue production in Germany." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1231688/posts
We still have them. But, the libs (and their media) don't want to acknowledge them.
They're probably wondering the same thing I am... why does Canada bother to have a military they won't use?
I'm surprised they would arm the subs at all, being that it might be "offensive" to the enemy.
Isn't Canada;s goal to project "soft power?"
If you simply talk and reason with the enemy, they will do what you want.
Tough-looking bunch of troops.
It's really sad what the liberal gov't has done to such fine men and women...sending them aloft in 40-year old junk helicopters, denying them the tools they need,...
Despicable.
Just think, after less than a generation of prescription drugs, our military will be like this too!
They have great snipers. Since they are being mistreated in Canada, I wish we could bring 'em here. I'm sure the US Armed Forces would show 'em the respect they deserve.
This torpedoe issue isn't the only problem with these subs. They've been a headache since day one. What a waste of taxpayers money and the military's time.
Can I have it after they drag you back up?
You know what pisses me off? The libs have the gall (sp?) to claim that we provide our soldiers with the best equipment available. They may be fooling themselves, but not us.
Wait a second, are you liberal? You just preached their whole military mindset.
Just kidding of course ... about you being liberal at least. LOL
What do you expect of a mostly socialist country? Of course,
they expect the good old "capitalist" U. S. to defend them.
