across-the-board plan to fully mobilize the country

Dear Canadian government: if I get drafted, lots of really expensive military equipment might start mysteriously failing at unfortunate times. Such as brake lines on officers’ vehicles. I’m not saying I’d claim responsibility for such unfortunate accidents. There’s lots of clumsy people. Could be anyone that’s mentally distracted by the stress of the whole situation which in turn leads to carelessness and neglect because their mind isn’t on their job. Accidents happen sometimes, y’know? Maybe accidents are less likely to happen when the only people in the military are the people who genuinely want to be there.

I knew this would be written by Murray Brewster before even opening the link. CBC pays him a fat salary to shit out three articles per week with the thesis that Canada needs to spend 50% of its GDP on the military. A total fucking hack.

“Either it happens or it doesn’t.”

By existing NATO is doing the whole “thinking the unthinkable” thing.

That’s why they called the idea of war against the USSR in 1945 “Operation Unthinkable.”

yeah, right.
