But what Canada needs the most is a new Air Borne division , In the post 9/11 age we need a fast elite comando force to handel quick deployments, The old air borne which history goes back to WWII was a victim of both the conservative and liberal goverments idiotcy and careless management putting phychos and ingrades into a proud proven paratrooper force only for a event like Samolia to happen before they gave a shit.
1. Replace sea king choppers.
2. Build a new elite Paratrooper force.
3.Focus on Air force and Infantry
The Navy is used more as a policing force to get rid of smugglers and foreign looters who rape our shores of the endangerd cod fish.But honnestly are little bathtubs cant compare to the U.S navy so we should just stick with Frigates for police work.
