Hello to whoever is viewing this topic,
I'm Cadet Tweed, and if your wondering about the title its a little story that shocked me. It was happened one day when i was on my bus talking to my bus driver and i asked him what he thought about our new government, seeing as for almost all of Canada's History we have had Liberals in office, and his reply "I don't like any of them, were more communist then anything, being told what to do by the government". Now I'm not that big into politics, but i know the lines of communism, and Canada is nothing like communism. On the other part of this title "and a Nation without a army" is another story happening on the same bus ride, i said, "well i like the government, hopefully the will invest more money in our Military" because i want to see our military succeed, not fail. I asked him what would happen if say we didn't have a Military, and say a Invasion happened, what would we do? and he said " All the farmers would take there guns and fight" ...now correct me if I'm wrong but Farmers? against a Army of people trained for combat, so i asked about what if they used air strikes, tanks, etc...and he said " all we need is fertilizer and diesel fuel, to make Fertilizer bombs"
But wouldn't a Military have a bit more resources? A-bombs...(not saying they'd use them) and Ballistic Missles...etc...against what? some farmers with say shotguns and fertilizer bombs! I tried to tell him we needed a army, in this day and age, its basically if you look at someone funny they declare war, and in the case of a national disaster we need relief from the Military don't we? Also people complain that we don't need a military, there good for nothing (i bit my tongue when i heard that) but when a disaster occurs and the military is no more its "where is the military? we need the military!"
Well this is my little story, have fun picking at it
