Someone Tell Me This Isn't True...please.

Sticky ------I understand and will bow to your wishes, but personally finding an MP on civvy street that can relate to military problems is rare at best and finding one with backbone is even rarer.

This confirms your suspicions, cap:

Current MPs with military service

I couldn't find any search results showing MPs with backbones unfortunately... 🙁

What about Svend ???

Sticky ----these are my own beliefs only and I speak for nobody else. Thre are two Ministry seats that should be reseved for MP's with military service in their background or a close family member that has or has done service......National Defense and Veteran's Affairs. This guarantees nothing except for the fact that the man in charge of that Ministry at least relates to what he is in charge of and isn't epending on some not seen, ignorant advisor that we never elected.

CM .........well he qualifies because he's a confirmed 'thief', so he'd fit right in ok on that part anyway. The only problem is that some of the military terms he might find upsetting and offensive....such as the word "Frigate". That's also a well-known Nova Scotian slang term and a nicer way of describing a certain act of sexual intercourse. Then again, he might find a word like that overly arousing and have to eat a bannana. Being a 'loose cannon' himself, he would definitely relate to the 'Herbies' (Artillery) though.

I saw the same program,and I also mentioned it to my wife.I explained to her that we just went on true,no problem.We didn't even have the luxury of ADF then.
Finding a 200' boat 90 mi. offshore using only time and distance only caused "mild discomfort".
