The date.... August 29th, the time..bout 11 am, the place...New York City; against the backdrop of America's key city, a legion of protesters hit the streets in an effort to show their disgust with everything from the War on Terror, the Invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan, American Superpower status (ecconomicly and militarily) and a host of other "perceived " wro
Must be true, since no one can really tell us what freedoms we have lost. lol...true BakerStreet...but then if say there were some rights (I always prefered to call them privledges instead of rights) to which were curtailed after 9-11...there is precident for this...ala the American Civil War, WW1, WW2,
Guess you nailed them, Couchman. Thanks Gene...I do try ...one of the reasons the article was somewhat abrasive...I wanted to get a rise out of them...pretty much expected it....
The truth is that no one except the far fringe on both sides of the political spectrum support extremism. CrispE.... true only to a certain extent where as the extreme right is generally kept to under control to an extent and otherwise doesnt come into the main stream....the left however has made it abu
trailer park..lol gee i have not heard that one yet...hey take the blinders off and live in reality
With the RNC convention just days away, the city of New York prepares to face whats been coined the security event of the year. From the President of the United States to the convention delegates to even the legion of protesters outside the convention center themselves...elements from the Secret Service, NYPD, FBI, US Military and a host of other agencies will have b
I would like to add an intresting sidenote....that despite what the left puts out....enlistment across the board in the military is either at or slightly above expected levels....instead of the bitchsayers who blantantly lie bout it being just the opposite...but then as I usually say...I dwell in reality...while they dwell in illusion!
actually the first opening salvo against the united states by Terrorists, Rouge Nations, Radicals...and Iran in particular was the US Embassy takeover and the subsequent hostage ordeal....dont know why everyone forgets that...especially since an Embassy is considered the soverign soil of the particular nation .... as to Iran's latest round of threats...well I highly doubt they are really in the mood for a direct confrontation with the US and i
And yes, the move East also fits into the money line; Cost of maintainers and support personnel will drop a great deal away from the unions in Germany that require a 36 or 40 hour week whether there is work to be done or not. Germany's mechanized forces are showing their age but they cannot upgrade or replace their vehicles due t
The basic facts of the story are true, but these moves have been under consideration for a long time, and the units involved will generally be on the support side and not on the sharp end of the stick. It is more about $$$ since it costs us a lot more to have a soldier in Germany than Ft. Campbell Ky. V
excellent, insightful post. You seem to have your numbers together (although I'm not a number cruncher), and this is very informative. Not much else I can add to that. thanks...but i did feel i got bit long winded in this post...but then I always feel that way when I post one even if its a little bit...
the last 2 years should have prompted more extensive revamping. one would have thought so...and to some limited extent there has been changes....like the re-structuring of a units support structure to allow more of its personnel to be commited to a combat infantry role....but i also added that it was o
you're referring to the cold war mode? (i dont want to presume and i apologize for an overly vague initial question) no need...there are no dumb questions...but at times dumb answers..lol...we are all guilty of it......so question away....if I can answer it i will...... by the way the dumb ans
i agree. but why? Simple.....in the military...things are sometimes slow to change..but in this case just the blame rests equally among legislative, executive and military......quite frankly as much as I want the needed changes...till 9-11 I wasn't fully pushing it to my ability....the same thing happe
good point and worth making.....but to not attempt to try and fix the current system.....even if we attain something of a half-way measure...is gonna compound the very thing you brought up...at some point...even the most seasoned soldier would drop from exhaustion of the repeated deployments
We have all seen the reports and heard the news speculating that the U.S. military is having problems finding troops to deploy into both Iraq and Afghanistan all the while trying to keep up our military commitments around the numerous other spots the world over. From the majority of stories or two-line snip-its, one would get the idea that the military must be too sm
Reply #5 By: Joseph Villagomez - 7/23/2004 9:04:42 PM Yes, but we saved the world from Nazi Germany and Nazi Japan in 1945, so they still owe us. Nazi Japan??? More like Imperial Japan....but thats besides the point. Well whoever wrote this from Canada is doing a bang up job taking a p

It would be a shame if the hubub gets so loud they forget that, regardless of motive, doing what he was alleged to have done is a crime. I have to agree but if you watch Bergers "defenders" and their spin of what he did...it is quite telling..it is important to note that since Berger was publiclly outed
Recently, news reports across the country broke with the story that Sandy Berger, adviser to the Kerry Presidential Campaign on national security issues, was currently under criminal investigation for the theft (and I mean theft) of classified documents while reviewing them among others at the national archives prior to his appearance before the 9-11 commision. Berge
Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh aim to indoctrinate might be so...to an extent...but all 3 are not reporters...but commentators ...and as such comment on topics based upon their opinion...is that a hard concept to fixure out.....as for Rush in particular...i do get a bit of a kick when the
First off...while Moore has the right..to an extent to make this recent piece of utter horseshit...opps I mean propoganda..opps I mean documentary..opps I mean...what is the current name used to describe his movie this time?....that doesnt mean I feel the need to put another dollar into that socialist pigs bank account....as to its validity....sad to say Moore once again uses half-truths and outright lies....to advance his political and social agenda..
regardless of all the rhetoric on both sides....first regime change was national policy long before President Bush was in office, ....officially in the mid-90's it became law under presidential directive...but since the end of the "first" gulf war it was unofficial national policy...this is reality as to the WMD issue...too many varibles...while i believe Iraq was attempting to procure fissionable material for its programs and in fact intelli
Got bit bored tonight so I decided to annoy the left as per usual with this Q. & A. Lets see who can put a name to the Quote I'm leaving....and does anyone have a clue about what he said and how it would make America better? "Defeating incumbent Republican President George W. Bush will make the world safer by making America weaker" ...TBA on Sat 10
.....Sorry to all my haters out in JoeUser land for my absence....work keeps me busy...and to those who enjoy my Tantrum's and ravings.....got a short Quote for all..... " To secure the peace is to prepare for war!" Karl von Clausewitz I find this quote very telling especially when one considers the monumental horseshit the hyper-left puts ou
This quote has been repeated over and over by many and we all have heard atleast one person saying it. While I forget the U.S. soldier who origionally said this in Afghanastan, I feel it has some relevance to all those terrorists who would plan to attack us anywhere or anytime..... "It is not our job to judge the Terrorists, only Allah can do that.
