I hear ya C.M.

Everything seems to be about who can milk at the trough the longest as far as party's are concerned.

When did this practice become an acceptable thing to do in Canada?
All party's are guilty right now.

We should do like Alice Cooper said and start a wild party.

Maybe when I retire.

I think I speak for more of them than a pot smoking civvy does. No disrespect intended.

Ad hominem attacks are intentional disrespect.

Nah, it's just a prod mate. Your statement, my prod.

And you are but are you a socialist because of it? And I detect a political attitude change.
And looking after our troops goes back to Roman times. Having a well paid, well fed and well looked after military is the way to go. It's hardly socialism. Check the definition again.

Who pays for the military?

The guys who ride the bus mate. But that bus ride and taxes you pay on it don't entitle you to tell us how to think. We do our duty.

[ziggy]

Taxpayers pay for the military.
So us Civvies have a say in how our bucks are spent Eye,lets Dis the icebreaker in the Arctic idea ok?

[EyeBrock]

You may have a say in how it's spent but you don't have a say in what we think.

Hmm.. I started to notice there was going to be a arguement from page 1 and was thrilled to get into it however after reading all 5 pages I see no debate what so ever. Just a bunch of pissing contests. People quoting each other and argueing against whatever they said which has nothing to do with anything.

Why did you post then?

The debate turned into political affiliations and the military,I thought it was going quite well.

I for one didnt know the majority of troops were Cons as pointed out to me.

I'm not sure they are, actually. I think it's been forgotten that a good chunk of the military are the young who are also the least likely to vote.

And if you join at 16, you can't vote anyway!

You have to be 18 to join the CF Iceowl.

That's not my point. You're attacking socialism in the military while ignoring the fact that socialism pays for the military.

Gotta correct ya there dude, it's 17 to join reg force, 16 to join reserves.

I didnt say that,thats why I mentioned Communists fought for Canada from my hometown,as for a say the military is funded by the party of the day and ya its sad that they will get manipulated for political gain no matter who's in charge.

Is that what you mean by claiming it's mainly cons there now?

[EyeBrock]

Socialism pays for the military? Since when did we have a socialist government that paid for tanks?
