Canadian Forces Need Bullets

According to this story, Canadian Forces have no bullets to conduct regular military exercises so they play paintball instead. Some senior officers believe that adequate training can be conducted using simulated conditions while others insist that the soldiers need to practice with real guns. However, due to lack of funding, they have no real bullets to use with their real guns. Without real bullets, Major Atheling Seunarine of the Hamilton Argylls stated that his regiment is beginning to specialize in urban warfare.

My take is that the Canadian government ought to occasionally snap out of their starry-eyed liberal utopianism and devote some resources to assuring the defense of the nation. That would include buying some bullets.
