The Canadian Armed Forces
jbdivinus
Before starting...if you are a soldier who came to fight for us against France or UK when requested, I would like to thank you from the depths of my heart. Please continue to do so...the losses we have suffered during key moments are not going to be regular occurrences.
To all the citizens who had to watch as battles ended with 5 troops fighting for eCanada, I am so sorry.
Today, it ends.
I can't think of a better picture to describe the current state of the CAF.Based on what you see, you want to get into it. However, sometimes dumb blondes are just that. Sometimes, they just can't do it right. (if the link doesn't work for you: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-caf-10-reasons-to-join-1492556/1/20 )
The past few days, I have been very involved in our war effort. I have organized the movement of allied troops of 3 different nations, in several battles. I have helped co-ordinate the different fighting forces during key moments of battles. I have supplied many troops with food and weapons out of my own pocket. I have been in regular discussion with the presidents of 6 different nations.
Did I forget to mention that I am also not in any official government position?
The Canadian Armed Forces, our supposed national army, the pride of our nation, has been, with the exception of two or three dedicated soldiers, completely absent from the battlefield during key moments of some of the battles we have lost against France and the UK. The CAF leaders, when they manage to come online (which, I can say with certainty, isn't very often, unless they are afk and leave their computers on) have shown an incredible lack of competence and leadership. I have seen CAF generals storm out of the crimson channel, claiming to be disrespected and [insert nonsense here], when the entire room was focused on battle. I have seen CAF generals left in charge of battles while our CP was afk, and they themselves do not participate in any effort to co-ordinate our troops.
I do not question the loyalty or capability of the soldiers of our nation. They are, without a doubt, of the highest quality and character. The leadership, however, needs to learn how to lead in V2. This is no longer "hit a wall tomorrow", please show up. In order to win battles in this game now, we need to be organized, and troops need to be deployed on the field. Not the 3 dedicated soldiers who come on irc for every battle...but the hundreds of troops that are being promised weapons and gold.
The most effective fighting force in this country is The Crimson Order. They receive, in comparison to the CAF, almost no government funding. The CAF gets the majority of the entire budget, TCO; pennies. Yet it is to TCO we on irc flock to during battles. It is TCO we fight alongside when on the battlefield. It is TCO, and the leadership of TCO commanders that are the greatest military assets in the country.
You are the Canadian Armed Forces. You have a duty to our nation. You are charged with the task of protecting me and my fellow citizens from harm. TCO does all this and more, without the capability to offer shiny prizes to recruits.
I have a problem with you, and I am not afraid to say it. Protect me, protect the sovereignty of my glorious nation, or choose to witness the wrath of 8000 citizens who will not tolerate incompetence when there exists so much potential.
Yours in national unity,
Jbdivinus
Please though, don't be afraid to take the time to troll this article while you are on your way to the field. Just don't get lost. If you need help finding the battlefield, as you have shown you do, I've prepared a special treat for you.
PS: To be clear. I have the utmost respect for the soldiers of the CAF. I also am not saying the CAF does absolutely nothing. Only that, in several key battles on several different occasions, it has utterly failed at providing any sort of organized deployment whatsoever. Several very important occasions..

TCOMAXX!!!
Makes sense to me.
The last 30min of SW of England were brilliant! Good times for, those doing it right.
wow I was there with my platoon, 1st Rangers Infantry Platoon.
TO TEH MAXX!!!
TCO FTW! o7
TCO were there.
o7
lol uh oh
The last 30 minutes of the SWoE battle was awesome. o7
TCO certainly has shined since V2 began.
o7
plus I think its time to seriously look at increasing TCO's funding.
For the record, TCO funding has been increased and my administration will continue to look at how our money is invested in the defense of the nation. We will continue to spend where our dollar gives us the greatest return on investment.
ramizeth was in almost constant communication with me during last night's battles. I enjoyed it greatly and hope that open communication will grow. TCO is very collaborative; we're fortunate to have an Exec team that works incredibly hard to make it all work as well as it does, and many of us have spent irl money we can't afford in order to help TCO shine on the battlefield, especially this month. I know I've spent over $200 irl this week and I'm not the only one. Teamwork is needed ... unity. Both within military organizations and between them. This isn't a time to shine light on individuals or to take light away from others - it's time to uplift everyone who gives effort and money to see Canada through to victory. I'm proud of us all and hope we'll work as a team, each of us holding our weight, so that Canada as a unified force will shine.
"The most effective fighting force in this country is The Crimson Order". Wrong, the Crimson Order is by far the most organised fighting force in the WORLD right now. Your coordination and lulz have become the stuff of legend and you will go down in V2 history as the reason the eUK fell to eCanada. I salute you my brothers and former comrades. 07 ~Master36029
oh, btw, drop me a PM when you guys are striking, I would love to do battle by your side again. 😃
We need to fight this war not as TCO, not as CAF but together as eCanada. It will require nothing less to see this through.
P.S. did Prince Divinus just teef Acacia's tagline?
Larger, traditional institutions generally are slower to adapt to changes. As a younger and more competitive organization, TCO has been in a continual process of re-inventing itself so was well prepared for the challenges of V2. irishboy has the right sentiment; jb is only opening up the discussion for a solution. Cooperation with TCO and an open mind will give the CAF new purpose, in time.
Let me see, it is a Friday night. Maybe the CAF has lives unlike you losers?
I smell politic in this article.
and I see Duke Leto trollin'
Somethings just never change.
That girl needs to put on some meat. Shit, you can see her ribs.

i`m with irishbhoy...
We need to fight this war not as TCO, not as CAF but together as eCanada. It will require nothing less to see this through x2!!... I think alot of people have been thinking this and JB has the guts to say it. However at the same time I love how TCO and the CAF finally have a respectable and working relationship compared to our early origins of hate-slinging.... I`m wondering if the functionality of the CAF forces has been left behind in v1...
My biggest complaint is the weapons that are supplied. Q3 weapon with perfectly balanced distribution...
How can anyone take that seriously?
I wish the battle with France would have loaded for me. Damn you buggy game!
Donations to the TemujinBC tanking fund are accepted 😃
I love you TemujinBB >> "We need to fight this war not as TCO, not as CAF but together as eCanada. It will require nothing less to see this through." At one point last night Irishboy was the only Canadian on the field. I thought the battle module must have been glitched or something. >> Proud to be on the same field with any and all of you, not to mention with our allies.
BC ....
HAIL TCO!
TCO FTW!
Also, civilian orders need to be updated more often. Last night there was a smorgasbord of battles to fight in at prime time but the orders were for a battle already closed hours before, so it was just a guess where to go.
Well, we're almost at noon on day 1500 and no orders have been given at all. That said, I'm sure those who have the responsibility of directing our war efforts will sober up in time to lead - hint, hint.

LOLCOOLSTORYBRO
Tomazim...I say again Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt...you sir continuously remove all doubt
OH NO, UK IN OUR ARTICLE, TROLLIN OUR DUDES.
......Interesting to see JB taking DAL PP, now taking shots at CAF, Any bets on when the CP article hits the press?
Predictable so far but keep going, never know you may suprise us yet (yawn) or not
RED SEA RISING
So... When is the next time you quit JB? It's amazing how you can spit on people who unlike you, have been there for the past 1-2 year without ever failing to their duty.
And about TCO and CAF funding, you might want to get numbers out about what has actually been handed to both lately, That would be interesting for a change (backed fact instead of cheap propaghanda to boost your ego).
damn. sorry for being busy this weekend. working, being with friends, drunk. I shall make a note eRep comes first......
Much respect lost, go back on vacation bro.
=3
Xzar: "Also, civilian orders need to be updated more often. Last night there was a smorgasbord of battles to fight in at prime time but the orders were for a battle already closed hours before, so it was just a guess where to go."
Seconded. As a civilian fighter it's extremely frustrating to not know which battle is the priority for civy forces.
I was on vacation for 2 weeks... I can't leave for 2 weeks and not have things fall apart lol xD But seriously wth :/
Much respect lost, go back on vacation bro.
X2
well, have no choice now, eh?
