Yah, I usualy only warch on thursdays, sundays, or if their is some specific programming I want to see.

I could have done with less historiography, and more documentary, but it was well done. I'm just glad to know that I'm probably not the only geek who has been plugged into CBC and the History channel non-stop this week...or maybe I still am.  :-\.

Hey, look at that, we're agreeing on something... Since the Napoleonic wars rockets (in an artillery function) have been a weapon that was much more effective in inspiring terror than in providing effective bombardment. This lead Wellington to say something to the order of 'The effectiveness of...

Hutch, my guess would be that he has 'issues' because he is making  larger issue out of an apparently simple and straight forward question. Now the purpose of this thread, I would guess, was to answer the question in a fassion after - "this is what I think the best tank was, and here is why" -...

Alot of people have year of the veteran pins worn above the name tape.

Anyone who has taken the time and effort to haul their ass to the gym 4 times a week for 14 years is likely going to have picked up a few things along the way. Experience doesn't make you an expert, nor does it give you a qualification, however; I have no idea how anyone could go to a gym so...

The picture you posted is a Nebelwerfer 41. They came in 150 and 280mm. IIRC there are also: Gr. 40s (essentialy two glorified nebelwerfer 35 morters on a rig with wheels) GR. 42s (5 barrel 210 mm) and Raketenwerfer 56s which look strikingly simmilar to Katyushas which also came in several...

Finding government documents can be done, but it isn't fun. Reading them is even less fun. I would go that route only after exhausting other sources. My own recomendation is to look up some books first. If nothing else this can give you some background. (when I get home today I can make some...

A little over a year ago I read that their were 44 American and 9 Canadian Veterans of the Great War who were still alive. Unfortunatly I can't remember the source so  I don't know how accurate that is. At any rate, I would guess that bothe numbers have gone down since. When I was young(er) I...

If by "that city" you meant "White Avenue", then I agree with you; it rocks. Otherwise, not so much.  ;D

Imagine a boring office with a bunch of people doing data entry. Now imagine me clicking that link with my speakers on max. That just made my day and probably ruined everyone else's.

A sense of humor.

Without getting into defining terms or laying out perameters, or even setting up any of the necessary background for comparisson; which is to say simply throwing around meaningless conjecture. I am going to simply state that the JS/IS-2 or 122 was probably the best.

Right... ::) Atleast when I am an obnoxious **** everyone knows exactly who I am. [MODERATOR EDIT: PTE GAISFORD, WATCH YOUR MOUTH - THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING PROFANITY AND BEING OBSCENE - LEARN IT]

English and French. I can struggle through German as well.

This thread is going to make me owe buddy $20 bucks... He bet he could quit longer than I could, but I'll be damned if I lose this one. Especialy to a non-army type who will go on at length about how weak I am if I give in...

Well you should. I have recently become aware that the comment was out of line and reflects poorly on the Army. I would like to make a public appology to all hippies who may have read that. I would also take this opportunity to retract the jocular sugestion that a fellow member would either like...

Are you volunteering? If not, then lay off.

No I am saying that smoking is bad for you (and me) But you will notice the effect of what you do smoke alot more if you quit for a while then smoke a good amount and then take another break. Atleast this has been my experience. So I have cut back to 3 a day except when I am wearing green.

On again off again is actualy quite hard on your lungs. When you smoke, your lungs adapt somewhat to the toxins, CO and oxygen starvation. When you quit for a while and let your lungs heal up some, then have a few smokes again, you shock your system again, and you really do notice it.
