McQuaig, when you're right you're right (morally that is).

"What makes this purchase bizarre is how little use the jets will be, unless we’re waging all-out war.

. . .

Asked at a news conference last month for 'specific examples of the uses of these aircraft,' MacKay mostly focused on what a great recruiting device they make.

'[I]t helps a great deal, I can assure you, in recruiting, to have new gear, new equipment, that is state of the art,' MacKay said. 'That is a very important part of our regeneration of personnel and pilots in particular. So having that platform capacity is something that is of great importance to the continued growth of the Canadian Forces and the development of our pilots.'"

The Star did not allow posts to this article and besides they have refrained from posting my submissions the last few times. I thought they were good - go figure.
