He joined the service to finish college, get law enforcement training and experience, and to get out of the rinky dink little town he was born in. He said that he knew if he didn't get out of that town before he turned 21 that he would bury himself there....so he joined the Air Force. His original plan was to come in for 4 years,
It would be best for you to play the "that I can remember" card here, because you certainly DID delete a comment yesterday. You commented on THIS blog, then quickly deleted it and instead replied with: To be honest I don't remember. Maybe I did, I'm not sure anymore. I am almost 100% positive I did not
Pretty precise considering that this site relies primarily on communication via written word. If you say so. Have I ever commented on any of your articles? I don't like w
If you feel your comment was so pure and appropriate, why did you delete it? You can fool the people who didn't read it, but unfortunately, I saw it before you sent it to its cyberspace grave. OK now you lost me. What, may I ask, are you talking about? I have never deleted anything from here that I can
Nice. Where's Col gene when you need him. I bet he's gonna say Bush put those there to make it look like they had them. I bet he will find one hell of a twist for this one.
Saddam would not have allowed any such groups to operate. He was the Dictator. You seem to know a hell of alot about Saddam and Iraq for a guy who doesn't live there. The next Encyclopedia created should have a chapter called "Col gene Everything about Saddam and Iraq" <img src="http://images.stardock.c
Col gene has stooped to a new low, now he won't even look for articles that make Bush look bad. He's just going at it straight from his mind. For as long as he has it anyways, every article he post seems to show that he's losing his mind. At least some people who he go Bush bashing find decent articles that make it a bit dificult to fight back. BTW Col gene, I think you misunderstood the saying "repetition is the key to success". See
I think you are entirely right. See, when you're isolated from the civilian world the way Tex and I are, you get so accustomed to people doing their duty all the time that you tend to forget that the 'real world' doesn't operate quite like that.I'm not trying to downplay the honor aspect. Obeying orders and doing your duty IS an
DJBandit: Yeah, good idea. I read what you wrote earlier, and I think it was a smart choice to let someone with more sense and better writing ability speak for you instead of spouting the error-riddled, condescending crap that you initially posted. So you insult my opinion because we don't agree on some
Our soldiers volunteered, I presume, because they (in general) feel they can contribute to society best by serving their country in uniform. That, I believe is what I and baker have been trying to point out. Sure there are many reasons for joining the military. But how many people would join something t
What ParaTed2k said.
What was this article about again?
Do people really believe that if our boys just walk out of Iraq that all will be well? What about those in Afganistan, in Israel, in Kuwait? What is wanted here is a complete withdrawel from the Middle East, and what do you think that will do? I have reached a point where I want all my fellow American AF employees (I say employee because many seem to be interested in the money more than anything). Why? Just to see what would happen if we left
Great story. Came very close to crying. Tell your friend Lopez that DJBandit also thanx him and his fellow soldiers for their sacrifice. I always thank all those who are willing to fight for what is right and for those who can't or chose not to fight for what ever reason. So I figure you fall in that category as well. BTW if possible, can you get more stories from the front. It would be nice to hear it straight from the horses mouth rather tha
DG, nowhere in the linked article, though, does it say the the X was intentionally done by CNN or any of its employees. Essentially CNN is maintaining that it was an honest mistake, and that the operator is the one with the agenda, and was therefore fired. You just contradicted yourself. First you say C
Logic has NOTHING to do with this. You have definitely lost your mind buddy, one too many push-ups burned to many brain cells. Logic is everything, being a military person you should know this. Everything has to have a logic to it to make sense. Otherwise we get religion. Give it up Col gene, u
Right there in your very own link it says he initially said it was an honest mistake, but he pled guilty and was sentenced. He accepted responsibility. What else do you want from the guy? So if you cheat on your wife, lie to her about it, then admit the truth, it should all be OK? It's called loosing tr
Bush and Cheney DID NOT CLAIM that Saddam was part of 9/11 except in your deluded, Michael Mooreesque existence. The decision to attack Iraq was based on intelligence reports that the previous administration and many prominent House and Senate members relied upon to determine that Saddam was a potential threat to the US. 1
Oh Col gene, you have once again embarked on yet another Bush bashing adventure. You know it is an irony that you and Bush have so many things in common. he used what ever reasons he could to try and justify his actions. So do you. You both seem to have trouble communicating, he trips
I personally don't get the point of having to get the toy now. I have two kids but only one of them is old enough to want something and have to get it now. Still he understands (in a way, thank God) that if he can't get it now, for either financial or availability reasons, he will eventually get it or probably forget about it and want something else instead. I will never pay twice or more for something, unless it will grow in value as time passes. I wo
you don't see any difference between 'let's begin discussing sending cheney to the moon' and 'lets send cheney to the moon'???? Doc, you're not being honest here: there's a vast
Hehe, not bad. I am not a brand guy when it comes to shoes. I don't have to have the latest Jordans ors the newest Lebrons. I'm happy with Payless fashions. It would be nice to see this store. I am not an animal activist, hate me if you want. I love meat I can't help it. I don't like cruelty to animals, but eating animals is technically not considered cruelty since most of the world does it anyway.
to sound as cravenly antiwar as possible I never thought such few words could be cravenly antiwar. They must have one hell of an imagination to see that. Seeing the obvio
It seems that I chose the wrong label to make my point, so please replace every instance where I said Dem with the Left or Leftwing.
OK, perhaps I should start talking as if my 7 years old is reading this. It's easy for people here to completely misunderstand what one is trying to say. Well, I don't think beating Bush is an issue, since he's not running again. Perhaps you meant might have stood a chance? Party solidarity isn't something the Dem
