Scare tactics

           As we all know since World War 1 the military might of Canada has worn out. Back in the first world war the Canadian forces made the enemy fear us and make them nervous. Now in the year 2010 times have changed money for our military has decreased and we have a small but very well trained military with out of date equipment. The CF-18 super hornet is a multi role aircraft with both air to air capabilities and air to ground. Meaning this bad ass mother fucker can shoot down a flight of bombers and escorts and then plow through tanks that parachuted down on our soil to occupy our land. Now the Americans want us and other coalition country's to buy fleets of the newer F-35 Lightning 2. This plain don't get me wrong is even more bad ass!, this thing has stealth technology and is also a multi role fighter so it can take out air targets and ground but the one thing this aircraft has that makes it far better than the CF-18, is VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) You can hide these jets in dense forest areas up north and they are hidden from radar and missile guided systems. You wait for the enemy to approach and launch a counter attack from below.

This all being said I believe that the Canadian military or possibly the American military is pushing to convince the people of Canada to vote and feel good about paying into the tenths of billions for these jets. As the prime minister is in the north for publicity and relations it just so happens a Russian bomber flight attempts to jump our borders as a show of force? that's a little suspicious. They have done this a couple times now in the last years to making it seem like we could be in danger and as awesome as CF-18's are they may not be able to stand up to the Russians MiG-29's - 31's and the SU-27 a very effective air superiority fighter. I think we should have bought the F-22 Raptor and paired with the CF-18 it would be a very good mix. I just hate to think that the same scare tactics that have been used to force public opinion is wrong even if it is for the better. Pearl harbour, incident the Americans knew would happen and knew would get them into the war if they let it happen. 9/11 weather real terrorists able to do this or American military cover up they knew it was going to happen and would justify 2 things. Invade Iraq and get more control over the American people by taking away their rights and have the people of American vote for that. Vietnam as well. Reports said an American shit was sunk off the coast of south Korea or north (Not Sure) then the American people supported the war. I hate being a sheep and you should to.
