and to further illustrate the futility of establishing a huge standing army, the only national force that we would have to protect us from is the US, and to build our military to that level would be impossible. It's the equivalent of one American state fending itself off of the rest of the American union.
I have always thought that the Canadian military would be better served developing special teams similar to DART, or Coast Guard, Air Patrol, counter terrorism and peace keeping deployment.
But to refer back to the VC style in your post... there is a lot of the Red Dawn-ism of such a defence to be found in Richard rhomer's book, Ultimatum. give it a read. OR on second thought... Don't!!
