There are times when British humour just floors me.

I can tell who's married and who's single in this thread.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to prove. Who said anything about evil? I'm actually surprised that your link got such a low hit. We've had 40 years head start on the Chinese on military surveillance. So had the Russians or did no one told you that MiG-25s flew unchallenged 100...

You should keep reading Washington Times for the raw intel. Ignore the conclusions as they are invariably wrong. The fact is that Chinese weapons are ending up in Taliban hands via Iran. How high is the approval by either government is just pure speculation. However, no doubt someone at NORINCO...

Poor lads, they'll soon learn that no woman is worth 2 months pay. Then who am I to say. I got married.

What's in Japan that would lure 11 Pak sailors off their boats? I don't think the exchange rates are that good that they can get cheap booze and women.

Reaction time ain't there and the interception envelops are all wrong against a Russian strike.

Heard this story back at Brigade. A young LT was 1st assigned to 4 Brigade and he was letting a few things slack. The RSM saw him and commented, "Sir, you need a shave." The young buck turned officer on the RSM (Bad mistake) and made him stand at attention while dressing him down about the...

Sorry, that's not true, Canadian combat engineers are not allowed beards. The Assault Pioneers (engineering recee for the infantry) are allowed beards but they're not really engineers.

NBC masks don't fit over beards. Nothing is going to change that. Which makes them motorized ... and the logistics, read gasoline, needed that automatically negates their deployment advantage.

How many were punished for their opening their mouths? One thing you learn as a soldier. Whether you agree with the policy or not, it's not your place to dismiss it.

That is not even remotely true. China aligned (not allied but aligned) herself with the power that best suited her interests. First it was the USSR, then it was the US, and now halfway between Russia and the US. China has never taken the lead on any issue. You joking me? Mao begged Nixon to...

If I see what they look like, they're already dead and beards are the mark of indiscipline. People are damned lazy to have a proper NBC mask fit.

They're light infantry with all the disadvantages of light infantry ... which would make them meat against any prepared enemy and nothing is ever going to change that.

Because they solve nothing.

When you're wearing the uniform, there is no such thing as a personal view. Be that as it may, what's really scary is how ignorant he is of China's nuclear strength and how dismissive he was of the actual nuclear policy.

Since the Chinese have not release either black box info, it's hard to know what happened at the EP-3 incident. Lt Osborn stated that he was on autopilot but whether the autopilot increased thrust to compensate for a gust of wind or not decreased thrust fast enough is unknown.

http://www.asil.org/insights/insigh66.htm Not the 1st time that would've happened and by the Chinese. The Chinese shot down U2s flying from Taiwan. However, in this scenario, at the very least radio contact to state that you're being watched. Lt Osborn was quite surprised that there was not...

If you want to play that game, the authority to enter Chinese airspace comes under the Mayday Declaration of which the PRC is a signatory. Whether the Chinese received the mayday or not is speculation since the PLA has both black boxes. Oh no it was not. If that was the way the PLA handles...
