What is a defence oriented military look like? I hear this term a lot, I just never actually see any details on it.
Like Canada's. If we don't get those proposed intercontinental cargo planes. It's lacking physical assets and a political and military leadership mindset (plans) for a rapid deployment/offensive war capability anywhere in the world.
The physical assets and the military and political doctrine revolve around purely self-defense capabilities.
As in the past, if Canadian governments want to deploy troops on U.N. peacekeeping missions, then other U.N. countries will have to provide the transport.
