Canada's military: The Sultans of "Schwing"



In an interview with CBC’s Peter Mansbridge broadcast Tuesday afternoon, outgoing Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Tom Lawson said men are “biologically wired” for such behaviour.
A report this spring found that women in uniform endure hostile work environments due to an “underlying sexualize culture” that leads to sexual harassment and sexual assault. The 88-page report by former Supreme Court Justice Marie Deschamps, written after hundreds of interviews with active members, found that “there is a broadly held perception in the lower ranks that those in the chain of command either condone inappropriate sexual conduct, or are willing to turn a blind-eye to such incidents.”-- The National Post

Well, isn't that special!
The commanding officer of Canada's military -- outgoing, thank God! -- has just revealed the underying root cause of the biggest crisis to hit the armed forces in decades. Not enough bullets? Needing bigger airplanes? A lack of nutritious rations based on the Canada Food Guide?
Na uh.
It's the Schwing factor.
The boys in various shades of green and periwinkle blue are pinching bums, and raping and purple nurpling their colleagues, because they are "biologicially wired" to do so. Said another way, in the spirit of Rock of Ages, they are "hard, hard, hard wired" to commit sins of a sexual nature.
Well, he said it, then he retracted it.
Too bad, so sad.
Lawson's highly paid media coaches must have been shitting themselves.
Let's face it, Lawson was saying what everyone without a vagina in the military really thinks.
That tenting is not about pitching, that boobs are God's great gift.
In the words of Steve Miller,"I really like your peaches, wanna shake your tree!"
What do they give our military boys, in terms of training videos? Copies of Game of Thrones?
Lawson may be thinking this, but he has no business saying it.
I wasn't surprised, either, when I saw all the old retired limp dicked military boys posting on Facebook about it yesterday, as if Tom Lawson was General Patton.
"Atta boy, Tom!" "You got it, Pontiac."
Here's the truth.
Whether boys are "hard wired" to Schwing their chubbies in the general direction of their female, or male, colleagues is irrelevant. When I was in high school, every boy had a big notebook, but they weren't allow to whip out their dicks and do stuff with them.
That's because, in high school, there were rules, as there are in general society against sexual harassment and rape. People go to jail for it, people get fired for it.
The military has always had a rape culture, don't ask, don't tell.
The brass have been hard wired to ignore it.
That's the problem.

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
