Yeah I know- Canadian Armed Forces never die in battle- they always die trying to get there, so don't pick on me!

Seems we're plagued with hardware troubles- with our old Navy 'copters dropping from the sky, and the recent severe and tragic fire aboard one of our "new-to-U" subs. The latest scuttle is about "cracking floor panels" on our recently purchased Mercedes "Jeeps" as the press calls them. Hmmm...- when I lifted the carpets on my car, I noticed a whole bunch of cracks too, but it appears to be cracks in the thick (presumed) sound deadening coating they put on the floor- there are no cracks in the metal itself! The news says that MB is going to come good for this and fix all the "Jeeps", but my gawd.. we do have far more serious problems with military hardware than this to deal with don't we???
