Sorry I'm not eligible as a Canadian citizen. Thing is at this stage what do we build for? What I also notice since you bring up history is that in each and every real war (not a so called event like Grenada), the equipment was obsolete, in horrid shape or just plain not enough, then later there was a sudden catch up and in a couple of cases a swamping of the opposition. It seems to be the American way of war.
