gg navy. hopfully this and the other events that have caused casualties will bring the fact that we have an underfunded military to the public eye.

As the article said, they called off the search after he'd been missing for over 20 hours, and the chances of him having actually survived that long are veeeery slim, if any.

But yeah, I still think they should still continue to look for him nontheless, even if there is such a small chance of actually finding him.

It is obvious we have an underfunded military and the USA has an overfunded military...so in the end it works out to a perfectly funded north american military.

We should be more concerned with keeping the peace, more than killing int he name of war anyways.

peace only comes after the war, if you want a military to go into a hotspot to stop a war before it happens, you need the capabilities to fight one if you fail

Well I wasn't really serious...Canada needs a better military, im just saying it shouldn't be our top priority

hellfire: We (America) did the same thing a few years ago. A little bit after 9/11 if i'm remembering correctly.
