I happen to be a Canadian who is a naturalized US citizen. It is very rare to see anything coming out of the Canadian Military that isn't a crock of Lefty doublespeak. Remeber that is the 1970's the entire military in Canada underwent a "revolutionary" change on how its soldiers were promoted. Bilingualism in French/English was made more important than soldiering skills. This turned Canada's small armed forces into a civil service who occasionally had to carry rifles. Many Anglophones bitterly left the service.The French element became more significant in the forces, and many of us know what that can mean in terms of French culture and the military. France has shown us this
of late, althopugh there have been good, loyal brave French soldiers in Canadas opast, there also have been nightmares.
General Rick Hillier is a modern day Canadian "Chesty Puller." The problem is that Canadas politicians rule him, and my prediction is that they will ruin this good soldier, crumpling him and tossing him aside like a piece of used tissue, once they have established a " lets be tuff on terror hollow posture." He should come to the US and join up with S.O.G. or Team Force Delta. They could use a Newfoundlander who can speak farsi
( now there's a scary image, hey?).

Is it too early in the morning for me to begin my snoopy-like happy dance?
Coffee and a reread first - this is TOO good to be true.
