  • @fvo911 What the HELL are you talking about? Speaking gibberish.

  • America is just a big killer O.o

  • america loves war

  • O:25 Don't screw with Mario.

  • Excellent gun system but im amazed that artillery has no really advanced since WW1, yes there are range finders and artillery is much more mobile and accurate then before but its still the same system and the fact that we still have to manually load shells shows that artillery is showing its age.

  • no bad american artillery systems, but one: FORT POST is not mobility! when infantry call on artillery support he is range out of FORT POST = max 55 km!

    ISAF keeping FORT POST WAR. FORT POST protections only very impotent points at Afghanistan. THAT's war is not correct create by ISAF forces. War at this situation should being is silent and quick. Special forces and UAV should be working is 100% power cause soviet war show to ISAF what do not.

  • Citizens of another country with landed immigrant (Permanent Resident) status may be considered when the CF has need of their skill, if the position cannot be filled by a Canadian and national interest would not be prejudiced.

  • @ThePyroKid454

    Isn't that kind of unfair?

    Does Canada assume that all outsiders are traitors?

    (not that I don't like Canada)

  • You must be a Canadian citizen to join the Canadian Forces
