I didn't realize Canada still had any military forces.....

I read somewhere that the Canadian military numbers 36,000.
To put that in perspective, the New York City Police Department has 40,000 officers.
This article was depressing. I found the story of the female marine prostituting herself worse than the two female POWs being raped and sodomized. I mean besides the whole matter that rape victims (and POWS in general) have no choice in what happens to them, its the fact that even in peacetime deployments, you hear stories of soldiers whoring themselves.
Supply and demand being what that is, thats probably the least jealously inducing behavior. Its curious that this article says that 30% of unit should be female for integration to work. I suspect that thats because if many of the men in the unit are either happily married, have a serious girlfriend back home or well, not asking and not telling... 30% female population is enough that the remaining soliders who want a girlfriend can get one.
When only a small percentage of the guys are getting laid, thats a recipe for sexual jealously.
In the civilian world, any man who wants a girlfriend can meet one out in the world... but on a ship or out in the desert, good luck finding a singles bar (or a church singles club).

Canada does not have military forces. What does it have to defend? How could we ever imagine that Canada could be offensive (other than the dribble that drips from the mouth of it's Prime Minister - even our leftist DemonRats would be embarassed by the likes of him).
What Canada does have is a few men in their military who wish to be like us, and they have been integrated to prevent them becoming like us.

To paraphrase Bismarck "if the Canadian Army invaded I'd send the(nearest big city) police force to arrest them".
