Let's face it, the Sudanese (or residents of any other African country) would still be killing each other even if there was an American/NATO presence in the area. The first time some section of Marines was being overrun and opened up the emergency can of "You die now", the press would be...

I think unaided, natural humans do their own fine job of diminishing human "dignity". Jim-Bob smacking Raeleen around the trailer, or Akbar slicing off that Britons head while his pals announce the greatness of Allah in and of itself doesn't reinforce "human dignity". That's just some horseshit...

Mr. Kaye, I don't think you should go so far as to thank your troops for doing something we do to pay our respect to the commisson you have earned. However, it is nice when an officer will acknowledge your existence beyond returning the high five. If Bloggins gives a "Good evening, Sir" while...

Matt, any experience (personal or any fellow Devil Dogs) with using the modular dropleg piece with the 40mm modular piece attached? Or a dedicated 40mm dropleg subload? I know that option is also available, wondering if it was worth looking at?

Another tack would be to locate and erase the scientists willing to work on giving any whack-job fundamentalists The Bomb. If you keep taking out the wetware, all the hardware in the world does you no good. A bullet in the head or knife in the throat in the middle of the night is far more quite...

Kurt, does your pubisher have any arrangement to order a signed copy? I'd like to look into that if that's an option.

It never fails to amuse me when loonie lefties say that hating Dubya doesn't equate to hating America. HELLLLLOOOO, it was the MAJORITY of AMERICANS who set Dubya up in the nice office of Oval design. Just wanted to point of some of the more blatant hypocrisy the commies and loons keep shoving...

Kevin brings up a good distinction. The commanders will have to decide if the security environment is appropriate to allow locals inside the camp. I don't think A'stan and Iraq are secure enough to allow them in. Particularly when it has been shown that the locals in either location are not...

Not to sound the asshole, but there's at least one Iraqi who decided his heart and mind splattered amongst "the invader's" broken bodies was preferable to making a decent wage and living in something resembling peace. So far as I'm concerned, locals inside the wire is nothing but a free intel...

The next time Bill wants to use a car metaphor, he should ask his chauffer for a better one. I don't remember ever replacing any "bearings" on my Sunfire. (Although I did change a tire in the middle of Bon Echo park in the pouring rain at o'dark stupid this summer while driving back to Pet from...

Is he a CPL type who got seconded to range clearance with us Mo types this summer? Name starts with an O, IIRC?

The only time I really ever bother is when I'm actually in the field. Never know when some fuckie private is gonna ND in your direction on a live range. That, and I wore them every day I was out doing range clearance. I figured if someone "found" a 500 pounder or something similarly large, I...

Huzzah for the lawyers and officers who chose career before mission and men. It's a red letter day for both species of bottom feeder.

Just a few observations. One, you have to wonder how much time some coffee boys at One-Oh-Fun Col. By wasted coming up with all that warmed over bullshit to stuff into the FAQ. Makes on scratch the head. Two, why not go with the system the American Army uses? You have your MOC (say 11B for...

Hinzman is a failure. First, he is a failure as a man. He took the coward's way out. If he was so interested in his beliefs and standing up for them, he would have manned up and spent a few years making big rocks into little rocks. But instead he ran. Yeah, way to *stand* for anything. Second...

I wouldn't mind America swallowing Canada just for the mass ritual suicide of ignorant whackjob lefties, radical commie acedemics, and squeege punks that would follow. Then maybe the country would be a little more sane and common sensical.

That's the one thing I like about Marxists. They are predictable, even if it predictably stupid. If they find these jackasses, I hope they deport the dumb motherfuckers to Iraq, where they can hook up with "the resistance" ans help them out. For, you know, the twelve seconds before their...

Well, here's hoping the Ottawa/Carelton police have plenty of mace and water cannons, and have had the chance to beat some home-grown "protestors" as a nice warmup. And here's hoping some dipshit tries to take a shot at Bush or, even more stupidly, try to pie him. I want to watch the Secret...

I got a five spot that says Koffi goes for the race card faster than Grandpa goes for the Viagra. Whitey (re: Bush) and his minions be trying to keep the bruthas down, ya dig? Kofi can't be corrupt or on the take, that NEEEEEVER happens at the UN.

It always kills me to see people arguing over the invisible guy in the sky. It smacks (comicaly or tragi-comicaly, depending on circumstances) of "My Dad could kick your Dad's ass, neener neener!!" Of all the chaplains I have intereacted with, they have all seemed to be kind, compassionate...
