The Canadian Forces names: A mark of respect....UPDATE


From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Published 


The Conservative government's decision to restore the traditional designations of the Canadian Forces; the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is a welcome move that recognizes a reality that has been long ignored by officialdom: The decades-long attempt to erase the historic designations, and unique identities, of the RCN, Canadian Army and RCAF was a failure.

    Thanks for that ORPO. The local moonbats are all up in arms over the 'Royal' thang but I think that our military men and women deserve the respect that it shows to them. For way too long they've been the 'army of little green men' to quote an article out of the paper.
