Why No One Should Join the Canadian Forces

[captain morgan]

I thought it was 'don't ask, don't tell'.

Around Cowtown, the phrase is 'Shoot, Shovel, Shut Up'

riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

 

[captain morgan]

wrong?

It's a great career, with good people. You can learn a trade, get an education...

You get to visit exotic lands, meet new people of interesting cultures, and get to kill them...

(just kidding, my Vietnam-era youth peeking through)

wrong?

completely, but that's ok, you go ahead and continue thinking your stereotypical ignorance.

See point #4
Ralph Klein—the Teflon premier—and his nine lives

Care to rethink your mistake?

Yes really.

No mistake, when you make a comment while discussing the u.s. military "don't tell, don't ask" policy it is no stretch to assume that you haven't gone off into never never land and that you are still on the same subject that you quoted.

What a pile of BS. I live near a base in ON and when I meet the soldiers in town and buy them a coffee they invariably tell me how much they enjoy the military life.

How much does it cost you to buy the entire Canadian Forces a coffee?

The state of world events may well see a lot of people join and maybe
not by choice its called a draft in wartime and don't be surprised if they
are already gearing up

It should now be that for immigrants to get Canadian citizenship they should have at least one family member serve in our military.

Military folks make the best Canadian citizens.

Horseshyte.

 

[captain morgan]

So, you're saying that your, individual opinion is the absolute law here?

Thanks for the info... Good to know

 

[gerryh]

colonel David Russel Williams was a GREAT citizen. :roll:

 

[captain morgan]

So is my neighbour Barb.... Your point?

 

[gerryh]

So is my neighbour Barb.... Your point?

Really? She is a convicted murderer who was a Colonel in the Canadian Armed forces?

 

[captain morgan]

Didn't know that was the bench mark for being a 'great Canadian'.

There are A$$holes in every walk of life.

What about those who serve in a different Army?..............................................The Salvation Army?

Military folks make the best Canadian citizens.

Where would one find that carved in stone?

 

[taxslave]

Why shouldn't anyone join the Canadian Forces, it is a force of good in the world.

Cliffy is all in favor of destroying our way of life and becoming good little socialists where the loafers get paid the same as the producers. All about equality.
Making the rich stand in line with everyone else for socialized health care is a bonus.

There should be a Law that drafts Lefty Losers like you into the military and turns you into a productive member of Canadian society.

Like I said, what about the good colonel? He your definition of a "good" citizen?


As for a productive citizen....I pay more in taxes than you get on welfare.
