Military denies sending ill-equipped troops to Afghanistan

You just can't please everybody. Over the past decade we have gotten some of the best kit available for the troopies. There are several processes to give feedback about unsatisfactory equipment. A corporal going directly to the media isn't one of them and will probably result in a mini shit storm for him, his boss, his bosses boss....

the average soldier same some of the best kit around. I don't buy it, they may be lacking in things like close air support but not on personal kit.

if they are complaining about "generic" kits, unsuitable for individual soldiers, they should be given an opportunity to buy equipment themselves. the military isn't just their job, its their hobby. if i was a soldier id spend all my pay on rocket launchers and smoke grenades yeeeeee haw

Guy just comes back and bitched to the Quebec media?
All the troops who cycled through for those 6 odd years before him managed to do it without bitching so why does he warrent such special interest?

Three guesses---the first two don't count.

There was the Iltis----the Ross rifle---------

It's a Canadian tradition to send our soldiers off to war under-equipped at first, that is.

Because he's a fucking weak prick

You didn't say that when the Liberals where in charge. In fact they have been blamed for every single piece of equipment (even the ones they didn't purchase) that anybody felt was sub par and as usual when its your beloved CPC in charge suddenly the person complaining is the person who is wrong.

What a surprise.

What a very thoughtful and topical assessment of the matter at hand, Derby.
You're contribution to this thread has definitely made us all think.

Why don't you deal with the topic at hand, rather than fixate on you're interpretation of my opinion.

You force it. On every other thread you cry, whine, bitch, complain and simply resort to outright lies about the Liberals in your never ending hatred spew fest.

In short your motives and opinions are biased beyond any reasonable expectation that you are giving an honest account.

Any soldier complaining about anything during the Liberal tenure was held to the highest righteous standard and his word taken as absolute truth and absolute proof of Liberal military hatred.

Complaints about the Iltis jeeps or any vehicle for that matter were laid directly at the feet of the Liberals as a consequence of their anti-military attitude and you led the way in almosty every attack.

Now a soldier comes forwward and has a complaint about the equipment, equipment that may mean him living and dying and because its the CPC in charge you attack him, all safely back in BC I might add.

Pathetic and whats worse is you know it, you just can't admit to it.

Your hypocracy is the topic at hand rather then a soldiers legit compaint.

I notice you didn't so much as bat an eye when yetiboy inferred blame lay with the Liberals.

I notice you didn't so much as bat an eyelash over yetiboys inference that the Liberals were to blame.

I never infer or imply anything---twat...

I'm still waiting to find out how many cash stuffed envelopes Cretin and Martin were given by Shreiber..........

Yes you did, just as you lied about Canada not having troops in ths Stan before the US invasion of Iraq. Perhaps you didn't lie. Perhaps you were just wrong as you are wrong about everything you post just as you now are wrong in your attempt to smear Chretien and Martin over Mulroneys misdeeds.

Enter the Moron.

A new film starring yetiboy.

A tragic tale of a man thrice damned by a lack of intelligence, a lack of education and worst of all being conservative.

Get a life Derby. This is becomming quite a jihad for you, isn't it.

Its a full time job correcting the chronically uneducated.

In addition just who the fuck do you think you are? You cry like a 3 year old girl with a skinned knee about the Liberals on a non-stop basis and lauch thread after thread after thread yet you complain when people respond back?

Grow up.
