I have not seen a post this good, ever. Good one:thumbsup:
I know exactly what you mean. I myself served 8 years active duty army.
Yes, I participated in the GWOT, but not in Iraq.
Edit: I think its lame how some still are so blinded by partisan hatred they cant understand what...
Youre right, it has nothing to do with it. Its just another one of the dozens of elitist attacks on anyone who is not them.
Its flamebait, as usual.
Typical..
LOL, this one made my day. Get a grip..
**NEWS FLASH**
This event has to do with the policy of the Federal Marshalls Service, not policital party lines. A statement like that only demonstrates complete ignorance of the subject matter and attempts to incite flames..
Typical..
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
-Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Nuff said.
OFFS,
Yes, you disagree with the war, fine. But trying to justify the acts of terrorists is completely absurd.
--would you get a MILITIA together and start killing those soldiers to the best of your ability?--
O yea? So blowing up as many civilians as possible is the mission of...
Just in: Suspect that was shot, was killed.
If the preliminary reports are true, then I think the marshall did the right thing.
Kudos to him for actually hitting the suspect, and not another passenger. But then again, those guys are trained to take those critical shots..
Edited to...
The CIA provided training and equpiment in the form of STINGER missles, but we were still in the Cold War then, so yea.
IIRC, the Soviets lost something like 65-75% of their air assets after that. That and Soviet aircraft are pretty lousy, Afgans could toss large rocks downward on top of...
Hrmm, none of us are involved in the trial or are privy to any of the evidence.
So if youre going to try to flame someone for debating the issue or offering something in the discussion, then how can you automatically condemn Delay as guilty without having a trial?
I mean, if the one of the...
Are you going to debate the outcome of the speech?
Or just keep on your childish nonsense?
I mean, really. This is silly. You guys complain about Bush's speeches every single time he gives them.
You dont approve, thats fine, but did you actually think you were going to hear...
Heh, the OP has a history of ripping on the military any chance he gets, so I havent taken him seriously since. That, and PBS is not what I would call a "reliable"source of information. I am not trying to argue that this may not have occured, but I wont believe it coming from this guy.
LOL Whatever toughy!!
Guess whos going to be the next statistic to bring his fists to a gunfight?
Hrmm what did Sam Colt say?
"Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal."
/agree
I guess the knobs in SF dont realizse that once you rip the 2nd Amendment out, all the other become null and void after that.
Its really pathetic..
I got a few buddies in the 173rd, glad to hear they are kicking arse!
It was cool to hear the unit was reactivated right before I got out. They are one of the few units to get a comabt jump into OIF.
Good post!
Good post.
Makes me glad to see some people in here actually still believe in and respect our guys out there. Most of they time peope here are too busy critizing what they do, then to appreciate when they get stuff done.
.50 Cal Rule:
The weapon can only be used in the engagement and / or destruction of enemy equipment.
Is it followed?
Rarely, just shoot at the enemy's "equipment" he is either carrying or wearing is the current pretense. However, its the best crew-served weapon out there in terms of...
I disagree,
IIRC, a large part of the Iraqi Army were Baathist loyalists. Can't really build a new democracy and military to support it with the same jerks that were part of the old regime. So disbanding and starting over seems like the only choice.
Dammit! You beat me to it again!
Like I said before, whats really funny is how pathetic some guys can be on this. Some have no CLUE what they are talking about with weapons, just what they googled on net. All of a sudden they come out acting like experts.. too funny.
Not to mention some...
:thumbsup: Good point!
I was about to say the same thing, its funny to see how people think they know what they are talking about, when in fact they very little.
Blackwater indeed is a contract agency, but they are not what you think they are. Yes they have, carry, and use weapons. But that is part of their job. However, even though they are not soldiers, they are endorsed / contracted by DoD to perform a specific mission. EVERY SINGLE operator in BW...
Check this out:
The panzy crack was directed at you and you alone. If our military was run by pacificst whines like you, we would never get anything accompolished. Or should be just ask the enemy nicely to give up so we dont "offend" them. Gimme a break...
Go ahead and put more words...
Boo Hoo, thats why the military is not run by pansies..
Basically, the object of effective combat and psychological operations IS to demoralize the enemy. Sorry, but we dont go into combat operations to be nice to the bad guys.
It simply amazes me the amount of sheer whining and crying...
We dont need your sympathy. Thanks, but NO THANKS.
You have aleady displayed your own conetmpt for us in the military. Using any of our current plights to further your own policital opinion is pathetic..
Dont bash us, then turn around and act like you give a damn, we know you dont...
Why do you even post? All you do is whine and complain, either add something to the discusstion or keep your defeatist, whiney, pathetic comments to yourself. Yes, I have read plenty of your posts..
Sorry to de-rail.
Wow, first time I have seen this..
Not surprising with this bunch..
Probably not serious, but in case you forgot, here's the lowdown..
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 115 > § 2385 Prev | Next
§ 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government...
So are you insuing that all people "down south" are "Hillbillies"? Hrmm, what slur can I use for folks up north then? By putting that in your post only makes you look like an elitist ass.
Just ANOTHER condecending comment by one on the left, ASSUMING that everyone is less intellignet then...
"Make a country safer"?
Are you serious? How does registering all weapons make anyone safer? It does not, all it does is provide the goverment a current record of who has what, so when the socialist / facist nimrods are ready they can come and get whatever you have. Nazi Germany, for...
