In my experience cant say I'm all that fond of them although I'm sure my experience is slightly tainted as the majority of my exposure to them is tossing them out of bars Ive worked at.I try to take them like I take any other group of people as individuals.

I was raised in wainwright and I noticed alotta times that some civilians and people I knew didnt have all that much respect for the military as I was growing up. My mom n dad worked out at the camp, but were civilians working there, not part of the military life out there. We were told right from the "get go" if they ever found out if we were ever caught calling the military officers names n such like alot of people did back then...we would get our butts kicked or the strap. So Ive always held respect for those that fight for our country. I spose that was good incentive... hehe!!

Other than my uncle, I've never really met anyone who was from the army. My uncle is a supreme a$$hole, but I've met his dad (uncle by marriage), I think its more of a family thing than a military thing.

Military is for losers!
Depends how long you have before you get sent away and how close you get. It will be 2 months in St. Jean most likely then your trade training depending what you've chosen can be anywhere from 3 weeks to 2 years. Most run from 2-9 months though.


Hey Mirl...I'm guessing you were rejected by the military?

umm... read it again, and you should be able to pick up the sarcasm from the content and context.

He's obviously either gone through the enlisted training program or has somehow otherwise learned a good deal about it. I'm pretty sure he's ex-enlisted.

I also follow this rule for the most part.... I've been in the military for eleven years and from experiences/observations our army is way too small of a community to date in...

Still, some of my best friends are army guys, and I love them to pieces!!!

Everyone that does any job is helping people. The Police, Firemen, Nurses, Doctors, Military men, City workers, Oilfield workers, Welders, Builders, Tim Horton workers, Mc Donalds workers, Scaffolders, Safety workers, Gum chewers and everyone else helps and enables these so called front line personnel.

One must remember... that if there wasn't some low skilled Joe designing and putting together the fire truck, the fire "fighter" would be useless...e

If it were not for the mechanic that fixes the and prepares the cop car, there would be no cops on the street.

If there was no ... well... you get the point I hope.

Everyone is but a cog in a big wheel.

So do I.

My honey is retired from the military after serving for most of his adult life. He possesses a lot of character traits that I find very desirable and have found lacking in many men that I’ve met.

He believes in and practices things like loyalty, dedication and devotion, commitment, optimism and working hard and as a team. He understands the importance of ensuring that the people he loves and cares about, know how he feels. And he lives each day with joy and gratitude that he has the opportunity to do so.

Military life requires that people place a higher value on the greater good as opposed to focusing solely on their own wants and desires. It teaches people how to sacrifice and how to appreciate that those sacrifices will ultimately create a better life for everyone, including themselves. And it teaches that life can be snatched away when you least expect it so don’t waste a second of it on bitterness and anger over things you can’t change or aren’t willing to change.

does absolutely nothing for me
actually it makes them even less attractive
i dont see tham as actually doing anything worthwhile
violence never solved anything, and the last time canada was invaded, it wasnt a military that protected us,it was the farmers and locals
military only protect the rich peoples money and investments, its just sad that in this day and age we still pay taxxes so these people can go abroad and murder people in the name of democracy

before someone goes on a rant about how my freedom to talk was paid for by some long dead moron with a machine gun,dont bother ,ive heard it all before and it isnt necesary to repeat that bs mantra


It teaches people how to sacrifice and how to appreciate that those sacrifices will ultimately create a better life for everyone, including themselves

thatd depend on how many civilians they wipe out to keep the status quo
i dont e anyone except the top dogs in the military making a decent wage,frankly the hovels their families are forced to live in during their imprisonment really doesnt showto highly of how much their own government thinks of them either.
i know lots of military people,and they all complain about the crap pay for risking thier lives and the shitholes they areforced to live in

If Canada didn't have some sort of military we'd would have been invaded by the Russians now I'm sure...lol. Our military, I believe, are considered more of peace keepers worldwide than anything else. Regardless, I'm glad that others have more balls than I do and take on these selfless roles.

A friend that I've known all my life JUST retired....he's 40. He had a 20 year career, mostly peace keeping, and now bought a store and is happier than a pig in shitt. I have another friend who's being deployed this coming August. He'll be known as "a hunter" in Afghanistan - it would floor most of you to know what these guys/girls learn ---- they're basically machines.

So what did the farmers do? Huck oats at 'em? No, that'd be violent. Give 'em a free cow and ask 'em to head on back to Washington?

Thanks Mom (with the son in the military)!

Sometimes i wonder if you really think that way or if you post your spewing crap to get a rise out of folks? I tend to think you are just a grade "A" moron.

They do nothing?

Search and Rescue missions to save lives of folks in danger.
( Knowing your logic you're gona blame the poor suckers about their plight and that they got themselves in that mess....never mind that accident and mechanical failure happens)

Peace keeping Missions;

(Knowing your logic you're gona say we have no business spending Canadian dollars in foreign countries and that we should let other countries deal with their own problem. So i guess if you see a girl next door being beat by some coward you wouldnt intervene?)

Sovereignty Missions;

(Knowing your logic you're gona say we dont need to do these because the US is next door....)

Civil Issues Missions;

(Knowing your logic you will say, that's why we have cops and firefighters....or that with better warning we can prevent those....yeah ok... Sometime there's Acts of God that we cant prevent or accident that the regular emergency services cant cope with)


Frankly this is a small part of what they do, but seems really worthwhile to me! Again i forgot, you are super Trubblemaker and you know everything and see everything and dont need anything or anyone! My bad! Please accept my most sincere apologies!



Another good one from you!


before someone goes on a rant about how my freedom to talk was paid for by some long dead moron with a machine gun,dont bother ,ive heard it all before and it isnt necesary to repeat that bs mantra


The BS mantra? Why is it not necessary? Frankly not because you have heard a million time that it makes it less valid? Do you have an actual point here? A point that would invalidate all the deaths? Please...i would like to hear it! I cant believe you actually call those who served ....... A LONG DEAD MORON.....

Sounds to me the moron isnt the one we thing about, is it? If you cant respect them for what they did, respect them in their deaths....moron.

Frankly if you wanted a rise from someone by posting your idiotic comments it didnt work, i already knew you were a dumb moron whose famous for spewing dumb comments on this forum.

Let's hope the Russian attacks, because you can run them over with your John Deere tractor...

I don't think anyone gets what Trubble Dawg is thinking. I'm guessing what he might be slurring his speach about here is the War of 1812. Unless there was some other invasion I've missed. I think we ran those damn yanks back where they came from and torched the White House for good measure. It must have worked because they haven't f'cked with us since. I don't think we had a real army at the time just a bunch of pissed off Frenchmen and some trappers. But remember, "violence never solved anything"....except for that.

i grew up in a military family and spent my entire childhood living on bases. for the most part, throughout the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties i cant remember too many conflicts that we were involved with. perhaps some peacekeeping posts... but nothing on the scale of what we have seen in the past ten years or so.

fast forward to last year. my son had a bantam hockey game against st. albert, but for whatever reason, the game was scheduled on the base at edmonton garrison's arena. we won the game and i had an arena hot dog and all was right in the world. i was in a great mood. however, when we were leaving i passed by the open door to another dressing room filled with younger players... base kids, about 6 or 7 years old perhaps. although i just glanced in quickly as i passed the door, something struck me as being a bit off but i couldnt put my finger on it. it wasnt until i got to my car that i realized what seemed strange.... the room was filled with young boys and their mothers. not their fathers. its usually the fathers who tie the skates. and then it hit me... their dads were probably all over in afghanistan.

i was swept with emotion and my eyes teared up. i dont know why it was such a powerful moment but it was. my father had always been there at my games. he came home to us everynight and got up the next morning and put on his uniform and did his job. but he never had to make the sacrifice that these men, and many women also, are making for us now. took a fatherless hockey dressing room for me to see that. and for that, i am very grateful. thank you.

aww im sorry your lil feelings got hurt. even tho i didnt aim anything at you or your comments
however my opinion is my opinion.if you dont like it too bad
you wish to laud the military for giving you some kinda bs rights, yet at the drop of a hat just because you think your opinions are the only valid ones,you wanna try to take mine away. guess that really shows ones rights deendon whosopinion they agree with and whos opposing view is politically acceptible eh!! not as you claim" they gave us these rights by dying"
wow you truly are a valued member of society.i guess so much for your bs about us recieving any rights due to them

with the way you type.one would think you got off your butt and actually did something to secure those rights. you know who got us any rights.it was the war protestors. the people that stood up against their governments and demanded to end the war. if it wasnt for these brave people this world would be in a constant state of war due to the clowns continuously signing up to go kill abroadin the name of death ,not peace


If you cant respect them for what they did, respect them in their deaths

hmm do you respect the deaths of the greeks? how bout the soldiers of napoleons army? or the huns etc


as far as the russians invading us. gimme a break what a ridiculous comment to make.



The BS mantra? Why is it not necessary?
hmmwhy isnt it necessary? well because its a lame attempt to make someone feel like they owe someone something, when you cant actually argue something,thats the resort the weak minded use

its actually funny, your whole attack was made of insults directed ,not at my comment but at me,my comments made you mad and in your weakness you reacted by attempting to deny me this so called " benefit" of these peoples deaths
so in the end, who is it that isnt respecting their deaths and what gives you the right to put your opinion over mine?
i answered the question of the forum , you didnt, you merely attacked mine.i am allowed to comment ,unless you wouldlike to turn his into a fascist thread? maybe its you that should evaluate your ideas. forums are made for opinions, i never attacked you or anything you said


peace cannot be bought with blood .who's the moron?
your thinking is obtuse and brutish.

the yanks next door? my opinion of the yanky death machine is no better



Knowing your logic you're gona say we have no business spending Canadian dollars in foreign countries and that we should let other countries deal with their own problem

foreign countries are just that, leave them alone. if it wasnt for war mongering parasites with your attitude, they wouldnt ever have been at war.
its the year 2000 grow up , there is no need to wipeout civilians just to keep the population down,not when the yanks can distribute and sell chemical weapons and disease strains on the black market to small terrorists cells set up by the people that love to make money off the suffering of others. the only terrorists that are out there are funded by countries with standing armies and a need to keep them employed, via creating terrorist cells and causing conflict. armies create war and thats the bottom line, armies arent created to walk old ladies across the street. wake up to reality
soldiers are paid to kill,not to make pancakes


maybe you can actually make a point, tell us one place these"peace keepers have gone and actually created peace............
ill wait for that answer

lol@peacekeepers.its a nice word, too bad it is accompanied by a machine gun and grenades



i forgot, you are super Trubblemaker and you know everything and see everything and dont need anything or anyone! My bad! Please accept my most sincere apologies
hmm is that envy or bitterness? to funny





the War of 1812.

didnt need no stinking army in 1812 and we dont need to fund one now. apparently paying to keepa standing army was even at that timeridiculous, so why would it make more sense now since we are now an establishe country and supposedly more enlightened? we all sit and preach about non villence and not bullying, yet the samehipocrites that preach that mantra, then turn about face and condone mass murder and genocides by supporting and lauding over armies.
how many non combatants and civilians have these military forces wiped out?
you think the only thing armies do is protect your rights? they also are a great feeding ground to find the biggest racists and violent offenders.
realitically,if someone wanted us gone, they could drop a nuke or chemical weapon, then the little army men would be of very little use anyways
true war isnt with armies anymore, its economic and it attacks the monetary system
