| #5 The RCAF Officers Club in Ottawa has always been (required in the deed) called the Royal Canadian Air Force O club, even when the lads were some of the only airmen in the world who had to wear green. |

| #4 "There must be some subtle standard in a constitutional monarchy mandating terms like the "British Army" but the "Royal Air Force." Obviously, there is no mandate as it was without the 'Royal' for 43 years...unfortunately, the current regime (Conservative Party) thinks that we should be cozying up with the British Monarchy again...WHY? This came out of left field.. |

| #3 The British Army is the British Damn Army. The Navy and Airforce are hangers on. Like in WWDeuce..... jeeps and trucks were marked, AUSA ------ Army United States of America, in lieu of USA. It's a very subtle difference, it has to do with the yeomanry/nation in arms. Fetch me a fine Yew thar ShakeySteve! |
