So basically, Lockheed is trying to peddle their beleaguered aircraft to their retarded cousin?

[MMike]

Only one Canadian joke around here,....MMike.

A country only needs a military for two things, protecting it's borders and overseas interests, and compensating for a small dick. For 99% of the countries, the first is more than enough of an excuse to have a viable military. The fear of invasion by a foreign power justifies planes, tanks, infantry, nukes, etc. The only problem is that Canada is one of the few countries that doesn't have that excuse. If anyone, and I mean ANYONE encroached into Canada's waters there'd be at least 2 US aircraft carrier groups staring them down within ~3min. The US is not going to allow any foreign power to invade Canada and be sitting on their doorstep just across the border.

So why Canada spends even a penny on their military is beyond me. Why bother if you don't have to? Save the money and reduce your deficit, spend more on health care, or hell, reduce taxes... Unless the Conservatives just want to bail out their retarded cousins to the south.

Oh, and a pic of the current Canadian airforce.....

edit: Oh, and searching on South Park Canada Airforce for that pic, I came up with this:

WTF is wrong with you guys up there?

I've been saying that for years. The military is like a Sea-Doo. I would never want one myself. But they are kinda fun every now and then. So I'd encourage a friend to buy one.....so that I could use it every now and then. But I don't have to change to oil.

The only military threat to Canada is the United States.

I hope they save some for us Aussies, we love buying outdated military stuff from the USA.

 

[MikeD]

Hey, the ASLAV isn't all that bad. Little better than the American LAV-25, anyhow. Plus, the hull is from GM Canada anyhow.
