I'd really like to comment but my 'Freedom of Speech' has been revoked ... One answer for Baker, re your question about 'insider information', I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you! Nah! Just joshing .... it helps if you wear a uniform at times like this, one knows rather more than the 'Med

Not at all impressed with SDC .... dumped mine recently and switched back to the trusty CM! Too erratic.... And I've just renewed my membership .... bummer! > <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="a
Well worth buying WB but even better value is the full Object Desktop Package ..... and the ALL your upgrades are covered!
I'd really like to make a comment but I've had my right to freedom of speech removed ....
The NG antidote kit shown contained 'Atropine', a fairly common drug in general medical use and pretty much a 'catch-all' for military use ... any kit in almost any army would contain Atropine. Beware media employed 'experts' .... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="P
sig 101 .... it's been "POW" around the World for as long as I can remember .... but if some anal retentive dweeb in the USMC with a penchant for acronyms has decided that as of 1999 the term is "EPOW" then I guess the rest of us lesser mortals in second rate military units will have to conform .... Probab
G'Day Jafo .... funny thing coincidence!
Nothing like a great stream of uninformed invective about 'Warfare' by 'Civilians' .... and what moron dubbed the Iraqi troops who have surrendered or been captured "EPOW"s??? A "Prisoner of War" is just that, no distinction on either side. One point to consider, Australian forces have very strict guide lines on ROE .... far stronger than the US. David K and paxx, stick to your beliefs, I'm not necessarily with you or against you, but the 'Gung-Ho' types need to be countered by
Brad, How exactly do YOU know the IFF in the Tornado was not operating .... you're not with the Pentagon yet.(Or are you?) Wait ... if it was on CNN then it must be true. 1) The 'Patriot' (what a GREAT name!) is an Anti Ballistic Missile System .... NOT an Anti Aircraft System. And yes, the different operating parameters are very marked. 2) A Tornado is a 'Strike ' Aircraft (in this case) .... NOT an SRBM .... but I suppose a jumpy Patriot crew can be expected to fire o
WTF was a Patriot Anti Missile battery doing firing at an incoming aircraft? Trigger-happy incompetentce is the usual cause of "accidents"...... as for IFF being 'switched off', at which end? Fair return, one Tornado air strike on any Patriot battery of their choice, that should even the score a little. <img src="http://i
Xerraire...paax is a rare person, one who stands by his convictions. He is entitled to his opinions, which are better informed than 99% of the other posts on this board.
WOM, that's why the term 'Jar Head' is used .....
paxx, it's only 'news' if CNN decide it will pull in ratings ..... and there's a coup in the 'Africas' every other day.
GA, I know exactly what you're saying. Certain members of the Australian Media in Iraq are really pissed because they are being ordered out. Tough about that, the Media have no place in a War Zone and they have no concept of how they are compromising our Intel Sources by chasing 'the big story' .... I never had much time for Maggie Thatcher but her stance re the media and the Falklands Campaign w
The 'War between the States' had very little to do with 'freeing the slaves' other than using this as window dressing. Lincoln's stated objective was to prevent the Union fragmenting .... I studied the 'Civil War' and wrote my graduation paper on it, cause and effect. More people died from disease and starvation than in combat while the POW 'Concentration Camps' predated the British in the Boer War by 35 years or so. Of course, a dumb-arse Australian member of this country's armed fo
"This is a key to catching Bin Laden" Bollocks! Beating the snot out of Iraq and the Iraqi people will just add another grievance to the long list in the extremist anti-US faction's propaganda machine, and a whole new generation of Muslim martyrs to generate more terrorist actions. Bin Laden is still out and about, who says Hussein will be captured or even killed, certainly the past year has shown how not to deal with terrorist cells. Sadam Hussein was a 'good 'ol boy' when he wa
The wall is/was part of a StyleXP theme from way back ....
Just loaded WB 3.96 (aka WB 4) and it is running fine. Great new interface as well.......9.5/10 to the team behind it. <img src="http://im
Probably would slow down a 486 under Win95 ...
And the the Indy winning 'Chevrolet' and 'Ford' engines (as in REAL Indycars ... not the present 'Idiot Racing League') were built by Ilmor and Cosworth .... Funny how the present Indy 500 has switched to Toyota and Honda power .... A 'BMW' theme is easy, just a couple of oil slicks and plenty of rusty
Beta testers ....
Wombat really goes for pop-tarts .... Holly Valance, Sophie Monk, Kylie .......
Some lightning strikes and several arson cases pending ...... and it's far from over yet! >
Be rather difficult .... a road roller might flatten one out for a wall!
"Rotation"???? It must be like a giant wind indicator .... anyway (sniff!) it's only a cruddy dash 200! Now, a B1B .... that would be different!
