No, Lt. Col's are NOT senior officers. Most Lt. Col's were not even Branch chiefs at the Agency and a Branch chief is the second LOWEST supervisor position there. We had 6 in our division out of 211 people. I was only a mere GS12 (LtCol equivalent) Branch Chief when I got the major who worked...

How does being stationed at the Pentagon make you a leader? Lots of pvt's and pfc's there. Being stationed there is no biggie.

You must be REALLY old since Lincoln ignored the Constitution. It has gone down hill since.

HEHEHE I can ONLY imagine!! My, what a time for a video camera!! Hey, what can I say, I am a guy!! :D

That is BEYOND funny!! My wife and I ran with a volunteer ambulance crew in Pennsylvania and in South Carolina. She was also a Red Cross Safety/CPR/First aid instructor, both as a volunteer and pro for years. I can honest say that neither of us ever threw up in front of a patient. That is...

Glad to be of service!! :p

LOL!!! HEY, your from England. Did you know that English fishermen keep their maggots between their lip and gum, like snuff, to keep them active in cold weather? I could not bring my self to do that. I found that a shirt pocket worked as well.

Stew without venison is called wimp soup!! :p No bugs? Worms work! :D

Yeah!! What he said!! Besides, if they did NOT eat vegetables how could they make venison stew? :confused:

That story is a bit goofy. Of course early man ate vegetables AND meat. Mankind is a omnivore. Most likely always was. Early man were hunter/GATHERERS. You don't "gather" meat, you "gather" berries, fruits and grains. Early man's diet most likely had little difference to ours today, without...

It would help if we had crew evals, unit history while in country, etc etc etc. The ENTIRE story is needed for context of the video.

Did the superior officers KNOW that things might happen? What is the context? Keep in mind that this enemy does NOT have the courage to wear a uniform. he hides in with civilians. Attacks from places that he knows that we will NOT go into or attack. How many "incedents" occured BEFORE a "bad"...

You are in NO position to know what I do to pay attention to current events. Believe it or not there are OTHER sources out there the YOU may not read. I doubt that you have the end all list of sources, as I don't, for anything. Just because you use a certain source by no means requires the rest...

I suggest that you return to what PJJJJ wanted in this post.

UH, why should I know? Why would you presume to think that I am aware of everyone, or would even want to be aware of, that you are? Just because you might know who she is, might agree with her spin, is of no value to me. Your eyes must hurt since you role them soooo much. By he I meant the...

"Funny ..... I thought we had bases in both of those countries ... And it seems that I've heard that we intend to have long-term basing in Iraq. And think that there's at least one more .... now where was it ? ..... oh yeah ..... Korea .... " Yes, this is boring, we have bases UNDER...

"Because they are part of a bureaucratic machine, not a military one. Much of the civilian employed population of the federal government doesn't put much above themselves, if at all. Oaths are meaningless to them and suspect to many who view their jobs as expendable. It is like pensions, I...

I understand the relationship between the citizen and government. I know who SHOULD be in control. What I don't understand is how one kind of oath is less binding or important than another? I took my oath as as soldier. I took a similar, and just as binding an oath, when I joined the Agency...

"I wonder why Manning felt he could not do this? And I'm sure we all know that the way things are supposed to work, isn't always the way things actually work in real life." Yes, it has and does work. I have seen it in my career. It is of course difficult, for good reason, but men of character...

Assuming he is he says who he is. What publication is this out of? By the way, I claim no expertise on military justice. Just what training I had 40 years ago. I have NO idea who this guy is. I have no idea who this Karen person is or where this stuff came from. That is all I am saying. It could...
