His brother was rumoured to be but when the hard evidence was called for to bring him up on charges, there were none.
My guess is that you've never even met an Afghan-they are hard hard cases and crooked as the day is long.

So unless you have something more than this so called "simple fact" that is also known as your opinion, you're blowing smoke. Understand, it's a difficult place and not an easy place to find representatives. Karzai is better than the alternative at this point and so that's what you have to go with. Better than the Taliban.
The Taleban actually stopped people growing Opium poppies-for reasons of their own of course but they did stop the practice.

Again, 100% truth needs to be backed up by indisputable evidence not hearsay and opinion. Clearly that doesn't fit into your argument or you would simply post it here and end all discussion on the matter. But you didn't because no one seems to have that vital part of the justice in this case.

No need to fret over my pin feathers as they remain as unruffled as ever. I have no problem with soldiers coming home in body bags if the cause is worthy. If you feel as you say you do, you should be an active voice to call for all out war in future conflicts with all the citizenry pitching in to do their part to support our war effort. Not fart around on the Internet finger wagging over who should be allowed free speech and who should not.

Now you just go back to preparing to do your taxes and pay for the care and feeding of your kiddie diddlers, rapists and terrorists. Leave the right to free speech argument to those who understand it.
Your childish attempts to change the subject with idiotic personal insults tell the story.

Do you know anyone who's lost a family member protecting Afghan drug lords?

Says Internet guy. Afghans are no different than any other people. You're generalizations are a joke. Plenty of Canadians and Americans are hard cases and crooked as the day is long. Of course you don't have a single shred of proof to back up a word you say.


Perfect example. Opinion and no proof. Saying somebody is this or that is one thing but you have to show the proof when you want to win the point.

The Taleban actually stopped people growing Opium poppies-for reasons of their own of course but they did stop the practice.

Oh yes those wonderful Taliban of yours. **** them and **** you too.


More tripe.

Your childish attempts to change the subject with idiotic personal insults tell the story.

What's childish is you attempting to pass off persona opinion as fact in this place. Like a moron. I'll have you know, my insults are well know and lauded for both their originality and accuracy. So go pound bacon ya ball scratcher.

Do you know anyone who's lost a family member protecting Afghan drug lords?

Post the proof that a single Canadian soldier has died in the role of protecting an Afghan drug lord.


Meathead, you can post this link ten more times and it still isn't going to prove a single thing. Well other than you don't know how to cut and paste or that you fail at posting links. And if Bill Barilko was here he'd kick you right in the tenders for using his name in such a namby pamby way.

Why is it people can't answer a simple question and have to resort to acting like a 10 year old. For the sake of maturity, I will ask again...put up what?

If you could follow your own line of bs you wouldn't have to ask. You run your mouth off to a retired soldier about what they did in the military without serving a single day on the line. Nice attempt at maturity there spud. You may not like where they are posted or what war they are asked to fight in but don't ****ing denigrate anyone who stepped up to serve while your butt sat safe at home bitching.

Slow learner it would appear.

Have you been smoking crack today? To begin with, you may feel expressing contrary opinions is "denigrating" somebody but I'm not that closed minded. Secondly, neither my nor RCS's military history gives added credibility to this discussion. Thirdly, reading between the lines, it would appear that you believe I am against the war in Afghanistan. I believe the saying "Three strikes and you're out" fits here.

Nope. Had you pegged years ago.

No if I had been I wouldn't be sitting here pulling your strings.

To begin with, you may feel expressing contrary opinions is "denigrating" somebody but I'm not that closed minded.

Expressing contrary opinions are just fine. Attempting to pass them off as facts is just asking to get called on it.
Taking a shot at my friend Mark over his service is asking for an ass kicking. Which I have given you here. Punk.

Secondly, neither my nor RCS's military history gives added credibility to this discussion.

In your opinion. Fine for you to feel that way, though afaik you have no military history at all as when asked you refused to indicate that you had one. Experience does add credibility to any discussion I am in regardless of how you feel about it.

Thirdly, reading between the lines, it would appear that you believe I am against the war in Afghanistan. I believe the saying "Three strikes and you're out" fits here.

Your position on the war in Afghanistan is moot as it's not in question here. Your stupid and underhanded slight directed toward Mark is. I know what happened in Somalia, I know what you meant when you said it to him publicly here and since you haven't served a day in the military you show yourself as a punk ass bitch for letting something that stupid come out of your big fat mouth.

If you said that to him in person I would have no problem with punching you in the mouth other than someone else would beat me to it. It' wouldn't take three strikes either. You would be on the floor in one.

I don't know what unit you served with, but as a civilian your a zilch. You should keep something in mind Cannuck, when you go on the attack against someone personally you open yourself up to the same. To this point other than calling you a troll and telling you to get lost and well yes referring to you as a zilch I've not done that. I have not lowered myself to try and denigrate your military service, nor have I made a comment about your personal life. That's the difference between you and I.

As to your absolutely moronic Somalia comment it only demonstrates what a troll you are.

Have a nice day.


Oh, and Unforgiven you can be my fire team partner any day.

What was the thread about again?

You make my point exactly. You have not a clue .

I didn't give him a shot over his service. Although it is clear that I should have. He runs away and lets somebody else fight his (alleged) battles. If this is what you call an ass kicking, maybe it's understandable why you think a hot head like RCS was such a good soldier.


though afaik you have no military history at all as when asked you refused to indicate that you had one.

You didn't ask me? Seems to me you demanded that I put up or shut up. You are in no position to demand anything from me or anybody else for that matter. In my time here, I have discussed my military history with some. If it matters so much to you feel free to sift through 5000 posts. Alternatively, you could raise the maturity level a tad and ask politely.


Experience does add credibility to any discussion I am in regardless of how you feel about it.

The experience of soldiering adds credibility to a discussion about soldiering. If the discussion was about how we fight RCS and my opinion may hold more validity than some others....but when it comes to why...that is a political issue and soldiers have no more valuable opinions than others.


If you said that to him in person I would have no problem with punching you in the mouth other than someone else would beat me to it. It' wouldn't take three strikes either. You would be on the floor in one.

Are you threatening me?

You should keep something in mind Cannuck, when you go on the attack against someone personally you open yourself up to the same.

I have no problem being "attacked", though I'd hardly call what UF has done an attack. I find it rather amusing.

To this point other than calling you a troll

I've lost count of how many people have called me a troll for expressing a contrary opinion. If you think I'm bothered by people that throw out the label and run instead of sticking to intelligent debate, you are sadly mistaken.

I do understand, though. Your level of debate is "What the f u c k do you know f uc k stick?" You have difficulty when people refuse to drop down to your level. I get it. Just don't expect me to humor you.

You don't express a contrary opinion. You bait people. Asking me if I was in Somalia. No doubt you've lost count.

Was I talking to you. Did you read the previous post? Did read the post the one the previous post addressed? Are you the language police?

You have some kind of problem with me Cannuck. **** Dude, I wasn't back here more than a week and you were already pointing out how a link to my personal website was probably against forum regs. (Not that it mattered to you) -but you were sure to follow the link and post that the site is really not personal, but about my book.

Then after I disengaged from that thread with the guy asking advice you couldn't let up. RCS this RCS that.

Then you come galloping in here. What was it that you were debating me about when you asked if I was in Somalia again?

**** man, you've got enough **** going on your life, focus your energies elsewhere.

Seriously.

Seems to have touch a nerve....

Was I talking to you.

Um....yes. This is a public forum. Your words here are for everybody that chooses to come here and read them. Besides, it was childish and hotheaded regardless who your target audience was....and no, I'm not the language police. Think of me as the kid in "The Emperor's New Clothes". If you get your panties twisted every time I point out that you're naked, put some clothes on.

Gee whiz, Cannuck was a soldier, an elite hockey player...

Why thank you. I never really considered myself elite. It's nice that somebody thought so.
