If the balloon goes up, we will have two choices: join the coalition to liberate Latvia or; negotiate for the release of our troops being held in a gulag in Siberia. 

its a political show, there is no intent to make a defense of it or even to reply right away if the balloon goes up, just a NATO national sized pinky swear.  Russia says "I want Latvia but I got to shoot up Yanks, Canucks, and Poles, do I want that?"  Pinky swear.

Get rid of them? They are the only gun that doesn't freeze solid in the winter time!

Ahhh, back pay, I don't miss those days.  Seeing your tax bill jump by 6000 bucks all for an extra 15 bucks a month in your bank.

Tax free isn't it?

My NVC covered injury was 2013 and I just got notice.

Just got my notice today as well.  Nice, as last week, I won my appeal on my 90's injuries.  Car paid, truck paid, house is will be next now.  Finally, set up nicely for retirement.  God is good......

RIP, my syndicate DS at staff college.
