My youngest behaves the same way, basically because his mother is there all the time. When I'm with him alone, he's fine, doesn't need or even usually want to be held. But if his mother comes home... throws himself on the floor and wails, to show how much I was neglecting him, I suppose.
Insurgents are attacking the only remotely legitimate Iraqi-based governing body existant in Iraq at this time. Granted, some of the insurgents may indeed see themselves as freedom fighters against a foreign oppresor who attempts to impose non-Islamic government on an unwilling people. I don't believe that: 1) these are the majority of the insurgents or 2) that they are entirely right in their cause. Please give me a link to the stats that show "
Do you think, touching briefly back on my analogy to police informants, that there is no accountability for the HUMINT sources? If police informants lie, they could get tossed in jail/not get their parole/what-have-you. If HUMINT sources lie... what, their office gets ransacked over a year later, which just makes the police (read: America) look assholish, right? Further, HUMINT *used* to work, because a lot of our sources were looking to defect.
Wait! Having more carefully reread EL's comments (and downed a few cups of box wine), I realize that she's probably right (took me long enough, eh, Lassie?). "They are currently screening medical records and dates to still involuntarily enlist people in the reserves." This does, in fact, not contradict what the Army is claiming in this case. There are multiple instances of Reserve and Nat'l Guard recruiters (and Active Duty retentio
There's a more fleshed out version of what I posted at Representative DeFazio's website: Link This might be asking for wrath, but Cthulhu seems to think it's true, too: Link I'll point out that this particular incarnation of the Great Old One is ignoring a couple of other things (t
From the Army Times, 31MAY04, page 5: Army Admits Re-Up Orders Were False Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., said he is pleased with the response he received from the Army on May 20 regarding the re-enlistment of Army veterans under false orders. The Army agreed to revoke the orders of any individual who believes he signed up under false pretenses,
Leonard is always going to be one of the Cowherd twins. He's always going to be my friend Colby's little brother. He's always going to have been a member of my Boy Scout troop. But now he's something else to me. Leonard Cowherd was killed in Karbala, Iraq on 16 May 04. He was leading his Armor platoon in securing a building when they received sniper and
A pretty good rate would have had me finishing the 5 liters in 2 days. But I have to let off some today, or I'll be in a bad way for work/class tomorrow. I didn't wind up going out with the UKers. They decided to go to "Trivia Night" at some bar, then out to an all-night house party, then up to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. As I declined the Trivia, I seem to have declined the whole shebang. Monobrow went, tho. If I see him, I'll have to ask h
Well, the weekend started Thursday night, so I had a little extra time to work, y'know. That Franzia is disappearing at a pretty good rate, now...
If it's on teh intarweb then it must ring of truthery. What are you agreeing with? Are you sure you're not drinking any more?
The list was originally compiled to show SGT Monobrow that he's gay. It didn't prove it too, well, but Greywar posted it, and we hoped others would add to it in this thread. If you read upthread some, you'll notice that I mention whiskey, but no one has given an opinion of it. For my part, I think whiskey is pretty masculine, especially the good stuff. My stocking up for the weekend included: bottle of Old Crow, box of Franzia, 12 pack of Kil
Oddly, I learned all these in First Person Shooter Basic Training. Helps at the HALO parties.

I understand your points on this, grey, but where do you think that HUMINT falls apart that differs from what makes informants a viable source of information for state-side police? Or are the actual statistics of their success just as dismal, and it's merely a hollywood-based biased impression that leads us to believe otherwise?
Feel free to nitpick, jeb. This test was merely typed in by me, and was reproduced without permission from the Government textbook that I'm using in an online college course. dharma had expressed interest, so I thought I'd post it. "The Book of Love"... someone in India? The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince? Your Mom? (Hi, Mom.) Geez, it's hard to make a "your mom" joke when the mother in question just might be
Remind me to tell you about my Theory of Circularity someday... we are neither Left nor Right, but are instead both. We're not even three-dimensional, bay-bee. fnord. And, hey, I'm having problems finding an actual news article that confirms his possession of an anti-semitic book (and a site for it). I think it's odd that the title would be in dispute as well... perhaps I'm just not well read enough.
Ooh. Good call, but yes, Saiyan Robot seems to care too much to be our favorite apathetic. I think RJ's only blog appearances are cameos on Chew-Toy's blog (usually saying how disgruntled he is).
*envisions Vince slitting Robo-Jew's throat* *shivver* There's a guy on gate guard here (a civvie) who looks a bit like a shorter Vince, and his accent is pretty New York. Same skin color, same nose. Not as pretty, tho. oh. right. fnord.
That was only supposed to be on the Special Edition DVD, which would be released months after we had sold out of the Regular Edition DVD, in conjunction with special showings in local theaters around the country as an oddly juxtaposed Double Feature with a Michael Moore film (we hadn't decided which). Of course, the popcorn would be laced with hallucinogenic butter, and the DVD would be coated in fluoride, a drug well-known for its facilitation of min
SGT Monobrow just bought Boondock Saints for the express purpose of getting pissed with the Scot in our class while watching it. I'll let you know how that goes. (So far, we've gotten him to do a fair Shrek impression, and he said, "I'll take The Rapist for 500." without much fuss. He has to warm up his Connery, tho.)
*plugs his ears* la la la la la I can't hear you say that I'm a member of the secret organizations. la la la la la It was a pretty poor idea, tho, faking Berg's death. It just didn't get pulled off with enough panache. Maybe we should've used a new soundstage and props. fnord.
Waxed and tweazed. I'll pass on the aloe advice. And, I don't think greywar would run away unless something much more drastic was amiss (you're still a chick, right?). dharma, I suppose that it's a mild slam. Must mean I'm taking to you. And, currently, drink of choice is Old Diet Doctor Crow. (I think we're getting pissed with the brits at their hotel tonight.)
WWLC = WorldWide Language Competition. greywar did a couple of articles about it. You probably just didn't recognize the acronym (you're only Air Force by marriage, after all). And I didn't have a good lead on a nick for him. His usual one is just his last name backwards, and we at least want to hand-wave an appearance on anonymity here. I will say that he had the highest percentage of gayness on an online test we took (at the now defunct thesp
What exactly is congress.org? It's not a .gov site... it seems to have been established by Capitol Advantage "the nation’s premier provider of grassroots solutions." Other than that vagueness... it's just a forum, right? Another "interesting" article from this same site, same subject: Link greywar would appreciate it, anyway. Regardles
