Country:  | The lefties, unfortunately, practically run this country! Add to that a cheap government who's only interest is lining their own pockets while the country is steadily taken over from within and without! Rant Time:
As a member of the armed forces, it's extremely frustrating when ninty-plus percent of the population has it's head buried so far up it's ass that it can't accept even a sliver of reality! What's left of our military has been neglected and/or cut almost to the point of no return! Yet those assholes in Ottawa keep increasing our international commitments, all in the name of face saving with the world! HA! As if they're fooling anyone but the Canadian public! We're the laughing stock of NATO, and quite honestly, I'm surprised we haven't been shown the door! (actually, there are reasons that they let us stay.  )
If someone in government doesn't wake the hell up soon, or if someone in authority doesn't make a stand on our (the Forces) behalf f.ucking quick, it's gonna be game over before we know it! The short-sightedness knows no bounds!
As corny as this may sound to some, I love my country! I'm actually still proud of my country, despite how I go on at times! It's just difficult to display a sense of pride in the service in this country, and that's really, really sad!
But I'm not bitter. 
- Here ends the rant. |

But torture for fun? That's messed up, and something Hussain's bully boys would do. We're better than that.
| I agree with the second part of that, but I dont consider making guys get naked and taking pics of them torture.... Do you???

Country:  | Nah, it's not torture, but the problem was it was for fun. I have much less problem with some high ranking B'athist official getting a real kicking, if it'll get information out about WMD's, or Saddam's atrocities, or links to Al qaeda - give it your best shot guys.
But there's got to be a reason for it. Apart from anything else, that's the line any professional takes - do what you've got to do the get the job done and that's it. | |

Country: | And what N.S was saying is happening here - the Black Watch, one of our oldest and most famous regiments, are just starting to come home from their deployment in Baghdad. They should be all back by Monday. There's a present waiting for them! They might be disbanded! | |

Country: | Yep, government cut-backs are cutting up to 9 regiments out of the Army to make up money for the poor Asylum Seekers!

Country: | It's a complete joke - and one thing that really sods me off is the English, or lack of. It should be a case that an applicant should learn English before we even look at the possibility of them staying here. And not just pidgin stuff either - up to conversational at least! Guess what though? Local councils around the country spend a fortune printing leaflets in 57 different languages!
Say what you want about the French, but I'll bet they don't do that. If you live in France, tough! Learn French or struggle! And that's fair enough in my book. | |

Country: | I do have respect of the French treatment of the muslims, actually. I'll give them that. It's live in France, live by French rules.
