"No army on earth deserves the Canadian government."

Maybe that's why the Looney Left government in Canada doesn't trust its soldiers with guns.

"Actually, it's a light battalion at best."

No arguments from me. Perhaps they should go nude as well. Bulky cloth and all that.

Still waiting for charge of jokes....

Excellent point. I have wondered also whether the Canadian socialists just like making their military look ridiculous.

That's a hell of a way to fight a war. They must be French Canadians.

This is just a mis-understanding. You have heavy armour outfits, you have artillery units, you have light infantry and this is the "hand-to-hand" combat unit.

THE FORCE LUKE, USE THE FORCE!

Ha ha!! I appreciate this!

"Arm them to the teeth -- then send them home to free their own country from the communists."

LOL!! It might come to that!

Seems like a logical consequence of Canadian national healthcare. No money for rifles, and no need -- Just keep patching up troops in those free hospitals.

[Lockbar]

Canadian troops will be forced to throw empty bottles of Molson's if attacked!!!

I am reminded from the film ALIENS...

Captain: Hey Apone, listen up, we cant have any shooting in there...I want you to collect mags from everyone

Private: Hey man , what do you want us to use, harsh language....

maybe they could shout at the taliban or maybe sit down and explain to them how they need some positive thinking classes..i mean you can see it now --

'you loook faaaaabalous in that turban..... dont you think camoflage is so 80's tho, i mean why fade into the background when you can CLASH....' cmon people, lets dance.....

How embarrassing. Our gov't makes us look stupid, yet again.

It's WWI, a english chap is out of ammo, he looks to his C-O and says sarge I am out of ammo! Sarge replies, don't worry grab that stick and say bang, bang, bang. The young chap, furious thinks what the heck, he grabs the stick, aims across the lines and says bang, bang, bang. Three Germans drop. The young lad shows relief and goes on, bang, bang, bang. The young lad takes aim on a German walking directly toward him, bang, bang, bang. The German keeps coming! The young lad says bang, bang, bang. The German smiles and keeps coming. Just then the German kicks the young british lad in the gonads, walks over him, and keeps going. As the young british lad lies on the ground he can hear the german walk out of sight saying, Tank, Tank, Tank...

With no guns the Canadians relaxed with a little reading.

Let's go men, remember we're fighting for Chretien!!"

This doesn't make your military look stupid; this makes the Canadian voters look stupid for electing that bunch of nitwits and cretins.

Don't forget, Americans elected (or sat on their hands) the Clintons TWICE. We became so ashamed of ourselves we finally got to work and elected Bush. Are Canadians ashamed enough YET?

[PALACE ATHENA]

the canadians will send the mounties and hope that the enemy will step on the horses crap and surrender.
