Gordy’s Got To Go

Gordon Brown is a twat. A spineless jellyfish.  I realise that his problem is common for most politicians, but it particularly bothers me in Gordy.  One reason is he simply doesn’t have the charisma or charm needed to make people stand up and pay attention.  He never has had that skill and public perception is hugely important for a politician.

In this recent news story about Lt Colonel Rupert Thorneloe – the most senior British officer to die in Afghanistan – it says Lt Col Thorneloe wasn’t happy about the amount of trips British troops are taking on the ground in Afghanistan.  Some memos by him were published in the Daily Mail in which he warned about the increasing danger to British troops and the shortage of helicopters fit for ferrying troops around.

Two Issues

I still harbour tremendous animosity towards Spain, France, Germany and Italy for their cowardice in Afghanistan. As I’ve said before those bunch of pussies make me ashamed to be European. I emailed the German government yesterday and called them cowards. It’s obvious they’re worried about the image of German troops in battle will bring up memories of World War, but in my email I told them to get the fuck over it and stop being cowards.

On a last note… I completely believe that the Israeli Defence Force deliberately murdered a Canadian military observer in a U.N observation post because he was going to report that Israel was committing war crimes in Lebanon. You can check out the story on CBC.ca >>

Canada’s Military

It’s safe to assume that Canada produces some of the best military snipers in the world. The Canadian forces are competent… on par with the Yanks, but not as good as the Brits yet. The problem is the value that Canada places upon its military. Here’s a news story I picked up from a newspaper which made me very pissed off with Rick Hillier.

A former Nova Scotia man who was turned down when he tried to join the Canadian air force has won the Distinguished Flying Cross for demonstrating “great courage and composure” while piloting a British military helicopter in Afghanistan.

Flight Lieutenant Christopher Hasler grew up in Bedford, near Halifax, and learned how to fly gliders and Cessnas with the local air cadet squadron.

After job-shadowing a Sea King helicopter pilot at 12 Wing Shearwater and graduating high school, he turned his eye to the sky with the hope of making a career out of flying military choppers.

“I applied out of high school to the Canadian Forces and didn’t get in, for whatever reason,” the 26-year-old said during a Christmas visit with his parents, who live in Ottawa.

“These things happen. So I went to university and still really wanted to fly. So I gave the Royal Air Force a call and then I was successful.”

After a relatively peaceful stint in Iraq in 2004, Hasler was sent to Afghanistan last summer for a two-month tour.

He was the captain of a Chinook on July 17 when he led a group of helicopters into Sangin, a Taliban stronghold where a soldier had been killed the day before while trying to secure the landing site.

The mission was to bring desperately needed supplies to British paratroopers.

The citation says that “he held his nerve while his troops were disembarking at the hottest of helicopter landing sites, allowing them to suppress enemy positions with minimum U.K. casualties.

Hasler, who did another two-month tour of Afghanistan in the fall is to return again early in the new year, plans to attend a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in the spring, when Queen Elizabeth II will present him with the DFC.

This makes me twice as mad because those in Canadian Forces Recruiting turned down my application because I’m not a Canadian citizen. HOW STUPID CAN THE TOFFS IN BUSINESS SUITS GET? The Canadians are bearing the brunt of the Taliban in the south of Afghanistan… Canadian soldiers are dying, yet they won’t send more soldiers or boost the national spending on defence.

Of course… Italy, France and Germany are still a bunch of pussy whipped bunch of pansies who are a disgrace to NATO, by keeping their sorry ass troops up north, and refusing to put them in danger down the south while Canada, Britain, Denmark and the U.S are taking all the crap.

Thou Shall Not Kill

My stepson has a Religious Education assignment about the Ten Commandments and the not killing part of it.

That part of Christianity makes me question if established religions are real. Think about it…

Supposedly God gives humans the ability to do bad stuff and kill, and then issues a set of rules to the contrary. In addition to that, the Bible says ‘an eye for an eye’. So if someone is trying to kill you are you supposed to die just so you can obey the Ten Commandments? That’s why organised religion makes me want to wretch.

On another note… I’m totally pissed off at Germany, Italy, France and Spain. They want to be a part of NATO, and enjoy all of it’s benefits but not assume any of the dangers. The mission in Afghanistan was approved by NATO – not just three members of it. There’s around 40,000 troops in Afghanistan and only around 18,000 are being used to fight the Taliban, warlords and opium growers. The fatalities and responsibility is being shouldered by Canada, Britain, the U.S and the Netherlands. Germany, Spain, France and Italy are all being a bunch of wimped out pussies – this whole ‘caveat’ deal is horsecrap.

There’s a bunch of restrictions called ‘caveats’ which allows soldiers of the respective countries to do things such as take part in combat operations, work in the snow, allow others to use their aircraft or, critically, redeploy some soldiers to the volatile south in the event of a great battle.

Germany’s excuse is it’s too aware of it’s Nazi past. We all appreciate that and applaud them for being wary of what happened before, but when they’re essentially being told that’s not an issue, using that as a crutch to shirk their responsibility is bogus. We all know Spain is a looney left liberal wimp-pot. France has the foreign legion which it can send in… a group of hardened foreign troops fighting for France. The French Foreign Legion was formed exactly for this sort of thing – fight the fights that the French public wouldn’t want their regular troops to do. France is wimping out and not using that option.
Canada is handling far more than it’s fair share in Afghanistan. IT SUCKS that those European countries are wimping out. I can’t imagine what those countries would do if they were invaded.

Time Continued…

Remember what I was saying in the previous blog about people not having time?  It’s absolutely true, and there isn’t anything anyone could say to make me change my mind.  It stretches to all walks of life… most importantly something that is taking up a lot of my interest – war.

Regarding foreign troops in Iraq and Afghanistan… nobody wants to take the time to stick it out, and correct both major foulups.  Nobody wants to take the time think up a viable and working military strategy… everybody wants to just cut and run.  Fucking cowards!

Anyone who thinks troops should be pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan really need a lesson in maturity.  Sitting safely on their soapboxes in North America and Europe, a lot of people talk about what should be done, but these people aren’t on the frontline, and have no firsthand knowledge about what’s best for the troops, and the residents of the invaded countries.

The majority of people in Canada were all for going into Afghanistan after the Taliban gave haven to Osama Bin Laden who killed loads of Canadians in the World Trade Centre.  But now their enthusiasm has waned because the thing they supported didn’t turn out peachy and rosy.  It’s not mature to invade a country and then flee when things don’t turn out the way its wanted.
