No different than the spin put on by most Western media outlets regarding the past deaths of Palestinians/Lebanese.

Robert Fisk: Why do they hate the West so much, we will ask So once again, Israel has opened the gates of hell to the Palestinians. Forty civilian refugees dead in a United Nations school, three more in another. Not bad for a night's work in Gaza by the army that believes in "purity of arms"...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/06/gaza-israel-death-un Israeli shelling kills dozens at UN school in Gaza • Reports of more than 40 killed in and around UN shelter • 12 members of family killed in Gaza City air strike The civilian death toll in Gaza increased dramatically today...

I did basic training with Capt Semrau. I cannot say enough good things about this guy. He always kept the morale high in our platoon, a natural leader. Everyone liked him. He was a very balanced, intelligent, and keen individual. When I think of the one guy in our platoon that could be a...

Well, my desire to go F-18 died quickly after I learned more about the fighter lifestyle. The lack of flying (~150hrs/yr), long work days, living in Cold Lake, etc. didn't appeal to me. Plus I never had a real strong passion for F-18's to begin with. I was just like most other people who started...

Archilochus, why, oh why did you have to revive this ancient thread? My buddies in the flight have printed out my uber-noob post and sent it around the school, lol.

*sigh* how things have changed. Could I haved sounded like more of a noob?

Not everyone forgets history. People need to realize that much of the negative views held by South Koreans towards the U.S. stem from what led up to, and took place during the Korean War. I would assume that North Koreans feel the same way about the old Soviet Union. The Korean war was not...

Not very surprising when you consider the following: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=4659

Someone please tell me this video is fake  :( http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/43462/9fb16ab3/us_soldaat_gooit_puppy.html

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7272329.stm I can't imagine a ground invasion would help the current situation. Hammas has stated that they will cease firing rockets if Israel stops their daily raids and ends their border blockade which severely limits Gaza's fuel, electricty and food...

I got 5 hours on a Katana prior to Portage and things worked out fine. The Katana sort of resembles the Grob in the sense that it's a low-wing aircraft and uses a stick rather than a yoke. Anyways, dishing out $800-$1000 for 5-6 flights is a worthwhile investment IMO just so that you can get a...

A Canadian Forces member was killed by an IDF aerial strike after REPEATED calls from his team to stop bombing near their location. Someone within the IDF is responsible for what happened. Also, can you provide a source that details Hizbollah positioning themselves near the UN outpost? And if...

As impressive as that photo is, isn't it true that the Russians file flight plans before they cross into North American airspace? Kinda takes the lead out of the pencil if you know what I mean.

I know it's from wikipedia, but it's worth a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein I don't support the man, just pointing out that, for a brief period, he brought Iraq from relative obscurity to a powerhouse in the middle east. At what cost though... Flip, I have no idea how the...

Depends on your exact goals. You're above average in all fitness categories so passing the test is no problem. However, if you want to really excel at ONLY the fitness criteria judged by the CF, then practice pushups, situps, beep tests (that's what you get assessed on I believe), and grip...

ColinP Neither the Shah nor the post-revolution leaders were any good. The Shah was a puppet, while the mullah's are religious nuts. Unforunately, it was the people of Iran who suffered execution/torture for ever questioning these leaders. Anyways, that's another topic.

None whatsoever.
