In regard to genocidal activities within the enclave - I found this arcticle posted on the CBC website: the account of outside observers: http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/080813/w081305A.html Heavy damage in Tskhinvali, mostly at government centre Published: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 | 12:53 AM ET...

I found this article on the new York Times website: August 13, 2008 Before the Gunfire, Cyberattacks By JOHN MARKOFF Weeks before bombs started falling on Georgia, a security researcher in suburban Massachusetts was watching an attack against the country in cyberspace. Jose Nazario of Arbor...

Shoot them down... Nice comment.......

One of the aspects of interest in this conflict is the American government response - it seems they were caught flatfooted  (please note: I say it seems - as of course I am not privy to inside information). If so,  this would be another failure of the CIA or in liaising with the CIA - whose role...

Carl Sidney? Chief? That guy - well that band is going to go places.. Don't know where though...  if i remember right, a good chap. I'm sorry to hear of Boots Boutillier. Please pass on my best wishes to his famliy if you can -  he too was a good guy (if my addled 52 year old brain has got the...

Dear Mr. Oligarch.. childish and immature? Interesting - since i am 52 years old, teach, spent 11 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and have posted on this website for several years. I asked a legitimate question in view of your sudden appearance parroting the usual Russian line and indeed used...

Since everyone else says this - how about this ogliarch guy posting details of his name etc... or does this genteleman reperesent the Russian embassy?

Hey! Neat! I was one troop storeman for that trip. While there, some idiot sargeant decided to borrow my stores trailor - dumping the live ammunition in it with the blank ammunition in the back of the truck - so i had to re-sort it all - and check thoroughly that i didn't have any live ammo...

i found this http://www.chinookdr.com/    "Chinook Helicopter Training"  and thought it'd be of interest for those following this thread

I remember those swine-fests - catching people for extra duties to dig those barbeque pits, to chop the wood etc.. What they never saw of course was the fellahs lined up pissing on the pork before the baskets were covered up to roast..

ha! i remember that! It was so complelely idiotic - yeah as being one of those in charge of the burn crew, i was darned worry you guys would come down with heat prostration - not to mention get caught in some back-fire - and you got frost burns from those tanks on your back. Mind you, the whole...

I teach in a college. One of my lady students asked me last month: "Do you think I am beautiful?" "Why yes.. you remind me of Heidi" "Who's Heidi?" "My dog"- but she's soooo beautiiifffuulllll.". Another lady student asked me recently: "Do you love me?" "Why yes!" "Do you love me as much s you...

Nick, you need never apologise for being a militia plug - gosh sakes - it is the milita that are the civilian/military interface. Frankly speaking I now live in a place where there isn't such a thing - so there never is a connection between the military who do their thing, and the civilian...

Good God, the Geriatric club is getting bigger. For a bunch of old farts, we still got good memories of good memories....

In this endless debate about the issue of people joining the military, I found this guide (from the about.com guide to secondary education)  to be refreshing and balanced. May i ask you thoughts?  http://712educators.about.com/od/guidance/a/militarycareer.htm: Counseling Students on a Military...

I think "Mumbles'' was '"Snowball" DeChamplain - who was sadly killed in a diving accident in the 80's (if I got the story right) - really nice guy too... Does anyone have anymore information on him? Or Richard Collette of that time - or a Curtis Kibbins? Really good guys those  - and hard working.

I remember waking up in one of the barrack's rooms in New Brunswick and half-seeing this floating entity - a woman sitting cross-legged, hovering in the corner - actually I woke myself up yelling at her to get the hell out of there. And she was sort of startled and disappeared. My four...

This is an interesting thread. I grew up in a haunted house myself. Now I live in Lublin - home of one of the many  Nazi death camps. Haunted maybe? But these places - Sobidor, Majdanek - feel dead. The Castle here ( the Gestapo headquarters), feels dead. The woods nearby (an execution site)...

I think it was me.. but you know  the worst one was driving along and hitting a box of nails that had fallen on the road - you guessed it...8 flats. I suppose it could have been worse - i could have had been driving the duel rear wheel version. The genuine absolute worst road move was after the...

When I was wearing green, I was prematurally green. The flowers added a  certain something to the dreary Wainwright landscape did they not? Those multi-hued patches of bright, colourful petunias  surely must have thrilled the mind of many a plodding infanteer and gladdened the heart of many a...
