I wasn’t in the Canadian military half a century ago but Google suggests that roughly 45-50% of Canada’s military equipment across all services is serviceable due to chronic underfunding. If it was worse in 2001, I’d be shocked.

As for Hegseth’s supposed homophobia, I’m unimpressed. The primary function of a very expensive military is to destroy a nation’s enemies or discourage them from attacking by threat of that destruction. Does participating in a pride event do that? Does it project strength to Russia or China (or Trump if you’d like)?

Of course it’s your country. Your tax dollars. But think about it, consider all the old ladies you could have euthanized with the money they spent on operational costs that day. ;)
It was worse in 2001 than it is today. Significantly worse by any realistic measure. Our guys did amazing things with shoestring budgets and inadequate support.

Hegseth is a childish bigot. He forms part of the homophobic far right who promote hate against minorities. He hates and does not serve his gay fellow citizens. You do recognize that gay citizens should be served the U.S. military as much as farmers, football fans, rock stars etc?

The American military participates in agricultural parades, fly overs for football games, drops by Kid's Rock's house for shits and giggles. In 2014 an eight person colour guard represented all US service branches in a pride parade in Washington D.C. I guess that scares the shit of out of Russia and China.
 
Well, our Canuck friends are having a competition for maximum degeneracy that is neck and neck with the Netherlands when it comes to assisted suicide/euthanasia.

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program APPROVED A WOMAN FOR DEATH because she was upset that she could no longer cook for her family.

No terminal cancer. No unbearable physical agony. She is just getting up there in years and has a hard time standing in the kitchen for long periods of time!

I'm a pragmatist so I'd be willing to find common ground. If Canada says we can kill women that are getting up in years and can't cook for their families anymore, I'll accept that if we can kill women that suck at cooking.

That won’t leave many women left!

Hegseth is zealous and vocal. He does not cater to special intrest groups. To correct the ship he put the War Department into a hard right! He wants warriors. Next SECDEF will balance things out.

I don't mean to be insulting but I must ask, how many years did you live in open birthing in a squadbay or on ship? In the squadbay nobody can hear your scream!

I do not care if people are gay or what they do behind closed doors. A few decades ago I served with those who I later learned were gay. That was of course when sodomy was illegal.

Uniform Code od Military Justice - ARTICLE 125. Sodomy
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.


Later it was don't ask, don't tell and everything was fine. Those with that secret kept it within their closed world. Times changed and with anything goes, I would not want to sleep in open birthing with too many "legal" gay men. Not everyone gets along living in cramped quarters.

In 1994 I was selected to be a member of the court (Court Marshal jury) for what was a case where a poster-perfect Marine Sergeant was acused on raping a scrawney Marine Lance Corporal. Another instance was when a former enlisted Marine Captain confided in me that as a PFC on ship he was raped by a couple of sailors. This crap does happen in the real world which is why some of us are a tiny bit homophobic.

So you think that having mentally.ill (Trans) people in the military or running anything else is a good thing? Even though they make up less than one percent of the general.population look at who has committed the vast majority of mass shootings and assassinations in the US over say the last ten years. They shouldn't even be armed.
 

I don't think the European Parliament has had a gilded statue of any head of state in its corridors before, so your president should be pleased.

youve got to love Europes hypocracy..

less than a year ago the EU was demanding Trump show the EU respect

https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-...mp-we-are-proud-of-our-weak-leaders-actually/

and yet thinks it proper to do things like have naked trump statues on display in parliament..

Not defending Trump.. anyone/everyone here that pays attention knows Im not much of a fan...

but the absurdity of European leaders getting offended by the things Trump says.. all the while encouraging things like Baby Trump ballons and naked Trump statues... is.. well.. nothing short of stupid..

What planet are you on? Are you delusional or do you just like to make shit up?

Where did I say anything like that Doug?

What I said is that I don't have a problem with the Coast Guard participating in a Pride Parade because our military serves all citizens gay and straight?

And who has committed "the vast majority of mass shootings and assasinations" over the last ten years? It is not trans folk. It is white guys. I am quite happy to allow white guys to serve in the military.

I happen to agree with you that transgender issues are a mental illness problem. But I also happen to believe that the military should serve depressed citizens, addicted citizens, citizens with cancer, citizens with diabetes and everyone else.

What groups do you think the military should not serve?

The women in the United States should rest easy. As far as I can tell the U.S. is struggling to kill them even when they are strapped to a guerney after being convicted of murder!

I'll bite.

If the whole point of the military is to protect and defend our civilization, what group would be the most important to protect and support? Answer: married people that breed, otherwise we don't need a military because we won't have a civilization that sustains.

So in your worldview its okay for the military to participate in pride parades to show support for LGBTQ interests. If that was true and consistent, then the military would participate 50-fold in parades that support the nuclear family and any event that encourages marital success and production of offspring because that is what continues a civilization that is worth sending soldiers to die protecting.

But they don't do that, because it was about woke pandering, not "supporting all Americans". Pedos and Felons are people too, should the military participate in their advocacy events to ensure they represent every interest group in the USA no matter what their proclivities are? How about anti-war parades? How about parades to dismantle the US military?

Apparently you have not been paying attention. The majority of recent mass shootings in recent times have, in fact, been committed by Trannies. I do not care what color they are. One particularly outrageous one was was a trans man that shot up a Christian school and killed several children. Little kids. That is one of many. I guess they don"t cover that aspect in the Canadian press. I saw a.breakdown of these shootings a while back and it was enough to to convince anyone of the mental illness in that "community." Then look at the murder of Charlie Kirk. That guy in't gay himself, but his love-interest is.

I.haven't made up anything. You are just ignorant of the facts.

I don't know how to move things from the internet to here, but yoh can look up "Mass shootings by Transgender individuals." There is a list there but it is incomplete. The school shooting that I referred to was in Nashville. Mentally ill people should not have guns, much less run any part of the militsry.
 
I like this!

Bet Lindsay Clancy couldn't make a lasagna to save her life.....
she couldn’t do anything to save her life if those had been my children… jail would be the safest place for her.
 
I don't know how to move things from the internet to here,
Aberdeen, Maryland (September 2018): Snochia Moseley, a temporary employee who identified as a transgender man, opened fire at a Rite Aid distribution center, killing three co-workers and injuring three others before dying by suicide.

Highlands Ranch, Colorado (May 2019): Alec McKinney, a transgender student, along with co-defendant Devon Erickson, carried out a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch. The attack resulted in the death of one student and injuries to eight others.

Colorado Springs, Colorado (November 2022): Anderson Lee Aldrich opened fire inside Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub, killing five people and injuring 18 others. During legal proceedings, defense attorneys stated that Aldrich identified as nonbinary.

Nashville, Tennessee (March 2023): Audrey Hale, a former student who identified as a transgender man, opened fire at The Covenant School, killing three children and three adults before being shot by police.

Minneapolis, Minnesota (August 2025): Robin Westman opened fire during a service at the Annunciation Catholic Church, killing two children before dying by suicide.

Pawtucket, Rhode Island (February 2026): Robert Dorgan (who also went by Roberta Esposito) shot and killed three people, including family members, at an ice rink before dying by suicide.

But you can trace other public violence to the "movement" going back much farther, like the 1972 armed robbery and hostage standoff at Chase Manhattan bank when John Wojtowicz attempted to rob the bank to pay for his transgender wife's sex reassignment surgery.......

Which was made into the movie Dog Day Afternoon

More instances happened but didn't garner as much attention because they were stopped, like
In February of this year a 17yo in Indiana was stopped from shooting up her school when "her" own mother called police upon learning of "her" plans.

While not in the USA - Also February this year, 18yo Transgender Jesse Van Rootselaar killed 9 in British Columbia secondary school after police had visited the residence multiple times recently for mental health calls.

As of September 30, 2026 there have been 365 mass shootings in the US.

Mass shooting is now defined as any time 3 or more people get shot, so if a gangbanger opens up on a crack house and hits 3 or more people it's a "mass shooting" and if you hold to that definition then you also have to realize that the FBI crime statistics show that 90%+ of mass shooters under that definition are black males between 15-30yo.

Which is a hard pill to swallow for most liberals that love to talk about the number of mass shootings under that new definition since only 1.5%ish of the USA population is black males in that age range, so vastly over represented per population size just like the transgender shooters.
 
Getting back to our Canadian invasion plan discussion. Do our Canadian friends really think that there will be a Canada left after Quebec voted in separation government and Alberta on the verge of having a separation vote?

Okay RLD. Still think I''m delusional or making things up? So now whata.ya got?

Now wake the Hell up. Put down the ignorant Canadian press. Step away from the naive thinkers

If you still swallow your own naive line of thought, you would be delusional.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,
