I had seen this one coming years ago. Personally I felt lucky to never be assigned to one of these vehicles. The idea of driving to war in a Plastic tank is not too appealing to me. While the field testing for speed, movement and C&C was excellent when conducted at the National training center in CA. The real protection of the crew has always been suspect. The system was build to be light enough to be carried in mass by aircraft and fast i

The rate of underemployed was much lower when Bush took office. But not lower then the 35 year or 12 year average. Again your comparing unemployment (Ooops, now its underemployment) rates against the best year in 35 years and from a date before 911/Enron/CityCorp/Tech bust. That makes it your opinion

I'm not trying to say that you Sugar High Elf are doing the wrong thing be staying in the Educational field. I am glad to hear that you are really. I find your comments well made, evenly stated and would most likely learn allot in one of your classes. Maybe I should have quoted the "do/teach" statement, so as not to sound condescending (something I was not trying to be, just making an initial shock). I just feel that people can be h

Those who can't do, teach. I don't think it is the fact that Universities are selectively picking liberal professors. If 72% of your applicants are liberal, what are you to do? It maybe that Non-liberals have found it more profitable or enjoyable to not go into the higher educational fields. Maybe it is a mind set thing? Maybe my hypothesis is wrong, because when I finish my twenty years with the military. I plan on using my teach

That means nothing. The actual underemployment rate which is people that do not have jobs that pay a living wage is 9.3%. I documented that in my earlier Blog about how the unemployment rate does not document the issue of jobs. All that does not change the $675 Billion deficit etc. 46 Million nonretired Americans have no health c

An addition to my last post P.S. Points Just because Bush got elected does not mean he should stand on a high horse claiming he has a mandate. But the Democrats should not also take bad polls for Bush as an indication that they are winning and will be elected back in. Because IMO to many still find them a worse choice then the RNC.

I'm so happy for you, drimiler. But, since when do you represent the 50 million people without health insurance and/or jobs? You don't. You don't represent anyone. I think he represents the area of the country he is from. My area is at 3.9%.<a href="http://www.nevadaworkforce.com/?PAGEID=67&SUBID=141"

Now dabe, please stop trying to make them out for something they are not. They even say that they don't look at all sides: "Media Matters for America -- a progressive , Washington-based, non-profit research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media -- seeks a highly experienced senior strategist to conceive and direct all aspects of t

What crimes? They haven't been convicted of any crimes. You’re making my point. The topic has nothing to do with the democrats, and no one has yet to even speak on behalf

So what you’re saying is that if three of his henchmen have already been indicted using corporate monies to finance political campaigns. Then Delay is guilty? Then that means Former V.P. Gore is Guilty also for of receiving Chinese money to finance political campaigns. I personally find that a hundred times worse and could be bordering on treason. I didn't hear you calling for his head. Are you

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I can sneak into nevada under the guise of spending casino money. eh eh eh eh Lets compromise. We will let you into temporarily our state so you can pay our taxes, but you first must wear a explosive collar that will blow up if you don't lose over $50 an hour. Or we will let

After having lived in CA for 20 years, I can say this. There are no republicans in CA. At least not to stay. Only the libs are staying behind. The smart republicans are either leaving or already left CA. Ya, they are moving from CA to Nevada. I think Nevada may have to deploy the National Guard at the

However the subsequent colonialism was also anything but idealistic, and it did cause many of the problems in those places. True, true, and I could give a long list of those problems too. Colonialism had good points and bad. But let’s not mix Colonialism with the spreading of Democracy. Far t

The Germans killed 6 million within the period of a decade. Stalin killed something like 20 million. America killed over 100,000 in two raids on two cities in 1945. What does that have to do with colonialism? My point was to say that many people try to portray life before colonialism as one big happy p

"The end of colonialism in Africa has spelled disaster for the sub-saharan region." Yes, but the start of colonialism also spelled disaster in just about everywhere it went. And it's not like Africa was utopia before colonialism ended (in those places where it has). But let me add that life

How about in Bosnia-Hertzegovina? Milosevic was just blowing away Americans left and right, wasn't he? Add to the fact that he was the Democratically elected President of Serbia (or that's what Carter verified). Don't get me wrong,

I may be a little confused, but one of the reasons for Japan's attack on the US was because of our oil. We were the primary oil provider to Japan (and the world) before the war. The Japanese main Island does not have much oil (not even close to what their need was and is). Japan's conquest into the Dutch East Indies was all for a new oil Imports source. The US subs roaming the shipping lanes near the captured Dutch East Indies and torpedoed

Even more sad, the Republicans could not come up with a better person! Can't argue with that. Some time we only get the chance to vote for the better of two evils after the primaries. That's why I don't like a party system. I'm with good old Goerge Washington who thought the party system was going to

If you take Bush 41 and his contacts away from Gerore W. you get a former drunk who took drugs, was a poor student, failed to meet his obligatiobs in the military and ran two companins into the ground. Sounds like a resume that goes in the trash can! The sad thing is the Democrats still could not come u

Thanks COL for answering my question. I do agree on most of those points with you. I was hoping that 252 would reply though, I would like to see how the man ticks.

the right totally goes against good traditional christian values except with respect to restrictions on abortions and gays. Please explain. Maybe I miss something here. Tell me some examples. This is not an attack on you, I just want to know you

In fact the Air Force requires an investigation when a pilot does not take a physical and is grounded. That report is missing. Most likely the report was never done. Why go through all the trouble when they already know that man is leaving service for school by that time. If one was done, it would be

His officer efficiency report flatly stated he was not observed by his commanding officer from March 72 to more 73. Please show me where his "Rater" was there the same days as Bush. Again check the dates of his attendance (i.e. not the first week end of the month). <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="

Sir, you should already know my answer by now. I'm surprised you're even asking these questions. You taking everything by stickiest interpretation in a perfect world, when you know that there is plenty of "Commander's discretion" or alternate options. The system is more flexible then your discribing and only direct orders from a commander are direct orders. Since the Democratic party has ripped, searched, goaded, checked every computer system, fill

Your link shows that Bush did not attend drills in may,june, july,Aug, sept and December which is what I said. 1. That does not matter, to make a good year. 2. Come on COL you know better then that. As a former Commander you should know this already. You can't pull the wool over my eyes, bec
