Wil's Rant

That may very well be true, but the need for helicopters is hardly an isolated need. The Canadian Armed Forces is in a shambles. It has gone down hill for a number of years now. If memory serves correctly, I seem to remember the little problem of providing proper uniforms for our guys going to Afghanistan. So while I agree that we may need new helicopters, we need a lot more than that to be able to defend our own country much less contribute to the U.N. forces. In any case, it does appear that the forces are at least getting a bit of attention. Long overdue, if you ask me, and just perhaps, this time, there will be more than just talk and cancelled orders to come out of it.
