    The problem with Canada is that they are full of Passifists (Hippy’s, tree huggers call them what you will). They have no clear sence of threat, nor any perception on who a threat is. They get most of their stuff from across the boarder thus as long as the US is ok, they are ok.

    They don’t need to rely on imports from strange places because they have the US right next door and the US will protect them should anything happen. God forbid that the American’s elect a president that knows his history and says to Canada “We’re not helping you because you burnt our White house down back in 1812, goddammit” 😛

    Sadly I think that Bulgaria is on the list for worst, what it has they can’t contribute to and NATO action because they don’t comply with NATO standards and they don’t have the money to get that fixed. The only thing that they have that they can spare is one of three old C-130B’s which were a gift from the US.

    Other candidates would have to be any country cutting back their line up, such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada even poor old Belgium.

    If you are a part of a greater good, cutting back on important things means that you either cut back on your commitment or you cut back on your own defence needs, sadly I can’t see anyone cutting back on homeland security thus it must come from the NATO commitment. Now when that goes, the greater ideal of good will also diminish as no one will be left to enforce it, or we put a country in a position of global authority (can anyone think of which country this might be?), and as such global hostility would be pent up and directed to that one place, thus you have the global situation today.

    If we all elected governments that had some military background in them and not just civilian knobs who think they know it all, you’d have a much better system and understanding in the world.

    When I flew in one out to the Connie up in the gulf, we boarded through the dorr that you have told us about Art (thank you), but when we landed we deplaned via the ramp at the rear for obvious reasons (again as you have explained, thank you)

    They have started retiring the S-3B’s, but not all will go just yet, they are still being used as Tankers, last I heard some countries were interested in buying them (UK France and Venezuela to name a few).

    I was always interested in these planes and loved the ES-3 Shadow and the US-3 Cod varient, but nothing is like the Viking, I had friends in VS-35, that was untill they left the navy :.(

    Oh god, spare me from this insanity!

    Shall we all say the McDonalds prayer? I’ll lead

    Oh god, who are’t in the store
    McDonalds be thy name.
    Thy customers come
    Thy fries are done
    And special sauce on the Big Macs
    Give us this day, our daily profits
    and lead them not into Hungry Jacks
    the Colonel’s done, Pizza’s are flung
    because our business exploits the young
    Amen

    Looking at that pic of it on the wire, you’d have to marvel at the thing, it’s so un aerodynamic that it’s a miracle the damd thing flies.

    I heard a rhumour that both France and Brazil were thinking of buying some C-2’s (6 for France and 2 for Brazil) anyone know anything about this?

    What a stupid idiot, I know one guy that would have been thrown out of the navy after a stunt like that, even if it was an accident (which it never is).

    Back when I was in the service, if there was any action like this we’de close up all the doors and dog them down with red lights above them warning everyone inside that fire action was happening out side. I know that USN doesn’t have the red lights but some form of warning should have been posted.
