RE: A Call to CC Leadership

Hello eCanadians!
I am here to respond to Rylde's article.
This is not meant as a response only for Rylde, or only for the Crimson Canuck's (and likewise divisions). This is meant as a reminder of what I truly believe the mentality should be for all eCanadian's.
Stop hurting one another.
People will make comments and criticisms on both sides. Neither of which needs to be the mentality of the general population of the armies, OR the nation. You cannot compare ONE person's opinion and generalize it for hundreds of other people!
We simply accept the opinions of the loud few as the general statement of the nation (or that of the specific armies). This is not how it should be.
I would hate to see eCanadians leave because someone said something rotten to them. The hurt is on both sides, and we just need to overcome it.
I posted and article about this 2 months ago but I find it still relevant to this day. I feel it is a good time to post it again below as a reminder of what the true mentality of the CAF is, and how much I personally love the soldiers of Canada (on all fronts).
We Are Destined to be Foes
I don't believe that for one minute.
Why do people think in such black and white terms? Crimson Canucks, or the Canadian Armed Forces? Both serve two separate purposes and do not collide.
For those of you out there who are causing this tension between the two groups, stop it. Get your own political and social agenda's out of the armies of Canada.
I read Crimson Canucks articles and most of them have nothing bad to say about the CAF and yet the comment section below the article always turns into a flame war on the CAF or those within the CAF (I am sure there are CAF articles out there that unfortunately pose the same problem for the CC). Why must it come to this every time? Why do people inherently inject their personal political feelings into each of these groups?
We are all soldiers. We are all citizens of Canada. So why are we fighting ourselves?
The Crimson Canucks are a private militia force because that suits them best. The Canadian Armed Forces are a nationalized army because that suits them best. The two can work together, but never have to collide. We don't need to be forced together. We don't need bashing articles or comments about either force. We are separate for a reason and not because we hate each other - but because form follows function. Each army has a separate function and thus serves a separate purpose.
For those of you out there that wish harm on either side. Keep it to yourself. Stop infecting people with your personal agendas because no one wants to hear it.

I second everything Coda says
well said
But the flame wars give us something to do 😢
And now for something completely different, a flame war.
Seeing as how the CC or the CAf have not started fighting yet, I would like to say, if you say so Sir.
I third it
Third
Ok third point five
Well said CODA well said!
WE ALL KNOW WHO STARTS THE FLAME WARS......
KEEP YOUR PERSONAL AGENDAS OUT OF CAF AND CC AFFAIRS!
Agreed, Coda. Thank you for posting this.
eLife may be getting intense soon - something smelly may be hitting the fan soon (and I'm not talking about Cozza's socks 😛). We need to stand together and prepare.
Coda article = auto-vote.
And yes, I agree with 100% of it. Been saying that but who listens...
thanks Coda
...what Xerdius Hoch said 😛
What's with all the warm squishy feelings lately?
...but what does Tamas think???
It always happens Bruck... A big argument erupts and things are said. The a little while later, everyone comes out with their appologies, and the love spreads around. 😛
Good article Coda. It had to be said.
Agreed Coda!
This wasn't a reactionary response Emilio. I wrote a similar article months ago - and I find it still true to this day. People simply loose sight of the truth sometimes and they need a reminder of how things need to be.
Great article, you have always been a voice of reason Coda, I hope to see many CAF members following the example you and others such as Xerdius, Captain Kushkins and Cham have set.
But an excellent question posed by Addy.
And Acacia!!!!
Perhaps I have been blind for over a year but no, I have not seen that before Emilio.
There is the occasional politically motivated response of course, but who cares about those?
Yea, I know Coda. I meant it had to be re-said for recent events, and the arguments. It's good that you brought it back up.
Now Bruck is an Austrailian XD
This is all so boring
My article was just a way to give everyone a slap in the face to smarten up, including my own troops. Open there eyes and see what possible path all the infighting and division could lead to.
I wouldn't ask the CC to leave especially during a war. We are patriots and we have enemies to wipe out.
It seems to have worked since everyone in the media seems to be making love to one another now in its aftermath.
Good article
I absolutely agree to Coda's article and Rylde's comments. Although I am still relatively new to the Rangers, I have been following the development of the CAF and the CC for a while now.
Both organizations have different agendas, but we are all Canadians and when there are tensions between our groups, we should focus on our similarities - not the things which divide us.
eddy we have the same agenda, to defend canada, we just have different methods thats it.
there are many roads we can travel but in the end we are all heading to the same place.
thats what nobody seems to be understanding...
WE ALL KNOW WHO STARTS THE FLAME WARS......
KEEP YOUR PERSONAL AGENDAS OUT OF CAF AND CC AFFAIRS!

Errr, you by saying that........
Here Here
When we turn all our attention inward and face conflict, then our enemies outward will take advantage of our inability to unify under our maple leaf.....
Coda- I have the pleasure of saying that I agree with you here, and I've been pushing for national unity for so long.... I now see that is must stretch into our armed guard.
Fight seperate, but for one cause, your Nation!
I didnt understand why everyone was arguing anyway.
good article it would be nice if people could understand we are here to stay and that we all have to live with each other
CC stands ready to offer any and all support to the country as well as the CAF.
I stand ready to kill redcoats!
nothing else matters.
with no common enemy all the Canadian armies have to fight is each other. We need to find a war that we can actually compete in and focus our energies on.
I think Portugal is usually home on a friday night.
Good article. Now only if there could be something for us low-lings to other than train and work...... Makes for looooooonnnngggg days. lol
Trash talk is fun
people talk the politics in this game way to seriously
Trash talk is fun Rylde was becoming quite a master at it, its just a shame that when faced with people who gave it back (with the added bonus of actually using facts, points and in gamey stuff) he throws his toys out of the pram to get some attention.
And eCanada mostly fell for it,
"Please don't threaten to take your little army to another country mr eCanadian nationalist/patriot"
Trust me Tam I want nothing more than to be baited by you. I've drank alot tonite. This is real hard to do after 12 beer beer.
I will not fight or argue with you Tam it doesn't serve our nations goals. Kick me in the gut all you want and all I will do is flex the stomach.
Hope To take a bullet for you to prove my worth in the coming war.
Bruck: “What's with all the warm squishy feelings lately?”
That's because Spring is in the air... unless you're referring to some other kind of warm squishy feelings.
Addy Lawrence: “...but what does Tamas think???”
Trash talk is fun especially when spiced with gamey stuff. >.> *shudders at the thought of blue cheese and its possible uses in Tamas' hands.
Rylde: “It seems to have worked since everyone in the media seems to be making love to one another now in its aftermath.”
Exposed! So, this is Rylde's hidden agenda and proof positive that he is just a big eTeddyBear.
Rylde: “Kick me in the gut all you want and all I will do is flex the stomach.”
O.O Kinky stuff! Unnecessary exposure!!
Master36029: “nothing else matters.”
Good idea, let's all mellow with Metallica ftw.
Thank you Coda, nice article. The best to all of you guys. I love eCanada, it really is just like home irl, the absolute best!! 🙂
I new idiot into the fray does it ever end. Oh wait this is what we want active people. Keep hacking nobody.
Amen Coda 🙂
It is not often that you write an article but when you do it is always a very influential and insightful read. Rock on Coda! o7 Long Live the CC and CAF. Let us live long and prosper.
Rylde, on the military front you have nothing to prove to me, you and your army have proven themselves as effective fighters, its everything else that worries me.
You wont take anything for me because I will be fighting beside you when the next 'final' battle comes.
We are different people, doing things in different ways and hopefully for the same end,
A strong, respected and united eCanada.
