You make some great point’s codc01. I've had this conversation with friends in the forces. There is room for plenty of adjustments; some are difficult decisions such as looking at what is useful and what is not. There are also the political concerns.

I am not proficient to give that sort of advice on this topic. Hence my Rumsfield suggestion. As for me, I don't have the time in the day to attempt to understand all the nuances of our military needs.

Your Rumsfield suggestion was the one that bothered me; We do not need or want any foreign interference in our military. Any Canadian military troops ; if they are available; can only enter Iraq if Iraq is under UN control.
