However, I still don't think the small group of people you encountered at a meeting is demonstrative of a very diverse group of people, most of whom, you have never met. Once again your wearing bliners.....first off the where was NYC during the GOP convention....the "small" number of people you refer to

I was sufing the net when I popped on to Victor D.

The cease-fire Spain bought from the Islamo-fascist terrorists...paid for with their capitulation after the Madrid bombings seems to be constucted entirely of tissue paper.....though no offical document was ever signed...no summit held....the Socialist party and Spanish electorate in general chose to look back in Europes past and pick the one course of action that hi

Last night in the second Presidential debate Kerry, again, said that the uS had 90% of the casualties, ignoring Iraqi forces, again. Bush didn't call him on it, but he should have. true......... While the 90% casualty rate cited by Kerry is wrong....The US does have the lions share of cas

Since October 0f 2001, in an effort to pay homage to those who died in the 9/11 attacks and solidarity with the U.S., Spain's goverment has invited American troops to join them in marching in their national holiday parade (the date on which Christopher Columbus' sighting land on his first westward journey)...but not any longer....

Thanks BakerStreet.... wonder what verbal fuckups Kerry will make next...I mean that who arrogant idea that he will hold summits to find a few hundred thousand troops to replace US forces in Iraq from nations who said categoricly they wont deploy troops to iraq no matter what (france/germany) or the nations that he said have only commited a few hundred troops here or there (uk, poland,ukraine, etc)...Kerry sickens me..pompous egotistical basta

Even before the Iraq war, the Democrats and the left in general have been using a rather intresting line to make their talking points seem that much better that the usual "useful idiot" logic....now of course it has become the staple of their speeches, interviews, and political peep rallies.....Before no one really paid much attention when it was said..mostly because

The planet you're on views only the navy and airforce and ignores boot soldiers--the national guard and reservists are in deep trouble.

You are assuming draftees would be on the same pay scale as career personnel; on the contrary, they would be paid much less and single eliminating the cost of family support and housing. Besides, I'm saying that the draft is but a last resort when as currently there is a problem in recruiting and dwindling re-enlistment. Moreove

Actually....total end strength for US military..including Active duty, reserves, and guard is roughly bout 3 million+.......secondly...you erroneously stated that our all-volunteer force is drasticly higher in cost than a draft force...that is pure bunk...do some research....a conscript force is far more expensive to maintain...due in part to the high turnover rate of troops and the need to constantly re-train new personnel......currently only 2 politi
