Glad this pressing issue has been addressed. 
Good to see you sashay into the thread for a whine.
You think this was important? Interesting.
To the Navy and Airforce? Yes.
You think your daily whinefest is relevent? Interesting.

I hope the RCAF comes up with some new paint schemes for their aircraft.

Am I whining? That whining sound just might be coming from you...

Wonderful retort. Stick your tongue out when you typed that?

Why you guys always straying Off Topic?
Srsly, you think this is important? It makes no difference and our energy should be focused elsewhere.

Exactly, can you people now please focus yourselves on getting this thread back on topic.

This hardly took any energy on the part of the government. I'm betting whatever document Minister Mckay signed was no more than 2 pages long, at most took 10 minutes to read, and was typed up by a Lt. Colonel in NDHQ who otherwise would be spending most of his working hours at the food court in the Rideau Centre. No it might not have the most profound physical change in the military, but it is a huge moral boost for those in the RCAF and RCN. Sometimes rather than looking at the size of the effect, you got to look at the cost-benifit ratio, which in this case is huge. If you consider a pen stroke a waste of effort, you are a waste of air.

FYI, I proudly served in the Army Reserve. Or I suppose we need to rename that the Militia since we have all have to resort to historical names now?
So Jack Granatstein is a crybaby who knows nothing about history either?
Stop being assholes, theres no need for you guys to start flaming just because your'e too small minded and intolerant to allow people to express opinions that are different from yours.

Huh. Call people assholes then submit the "you guys shouldn't flame" point.
Fuck off already.

Why would it have any affect on the Air Force or Navy?
Yes, I'm sure it was mostly just a stroke of the Pen, but that just adds to my point. This is merely useless window dressing where serious issues need to be addressed. Little more than a way for McKay and the Government to make a few headlines.

For many, this is a point of significant pride. The RCN, RCAF, and CAF accomplished most of its most major historical accomlishments under these monikers, and even now, 43 years later, the fact that with the stroke of a pen, those identities were torn away for the sake of a political decision.
In the end, although you have a say as a citizen, what's it to you that this point of pride is being restored? Let the military enjoy this long awaited victory.

Some are, some disagree, some are indifferent. Many are not and are happy with the decision.
Deal with it.
