Well Turtle, I gave up any chance of ever retiring for my beliefs. That is what people who have the courage of their convictions do. I realize that concept is looked at as foolish and out of date these days. but, no on ever said I was smart or current so it works fine for me. As to that film...

I don't know about that. No further comment. :p

I hope they were not drinking coffee when they heard that one! It burns coming out of your nose.

But Turtle, the load can not ever happen. It is beyond hypothetical. SO: Yeah I would salute. GEEZ. I don't normally expect such stuff from you. In a mood today are you? :p Have a nice day! OR as the "Great Playdough" once said: "Skinny eight and two is ten". Words of wisdom for all...

That is just so teenager. :p

Talk about abstract. First off we are never 15 minutes late, we are always very early. Second. It is not very likely that the Anthem would be played during a time when we would be loading or unloading. It is normally only played once at day at 8AM and they won't load or unload while it is...

Nope, I would have said NOTHING at all. That is the correct way of handling this type of problem. The situation with Bush and the Chinese was vastly different. That involved human beings. It also involved the Chinese governments and it's actions. IE: their plane and ours came into contact...

To each his own. It also depends on the "type" of clothes one is buying and what they will be used for. Shipping clothes back and forth. Additional costs and green house gasses! :p I don't have girlfriends so that is not an issue either.

How do you find out if they fit or not? :confused: I mean, there is only one way that I know of! :p Must be magic or something.

Iran likely has far more in country than most believe. Unless they have cut down on their activity of late, which I doubt. As to the Soviets, I would not be so sure if I were you.

One of them "Catch 22" thingies there Greg. There is not such thing as sizes out there. A "L" from one company is not a "L" from another. There would be a major loss of sales, not to mention an large increase of "green house gasses". There is not really a good answer.

Not asking about when or when not to speak is part of courtesy. That is all it would have taken. The fly overs cost nothing above normal costs. Those pilots are required to fly so many hours a year. Those fly over are just worked into those hours. So many hours have to be put into "target...

In many cases they are one in the same.

The Soviets have long been involved with the Iranian intelligence service. They are their "teachers" and they supply much of the "toys" that they use. The Iranian intelligence service is very good and very active both in theater and out, including a large operation in the U.S. Every...

"There is a huge difference between the two incidents, we are antagonize Iran in a way to make a move so we can pounce on them. Where the U2 incident was part of the norm, they spy on us, we spy on them. How many times did they try to shoot one of them down and failed while that one time they...

It is more than possible for a non-military person to speak at a military function and do so with proper respect. Respect and courtesy are meant to be taught at home. A few questions prior to the ceremony would make it easy for a non-military person to act properly. I can't wait for certain...

Do as they say, not as they do. They are the "elite". They are just looking out for the "little man" who is helpless with out them.

It can be a tough call for a retail store. I learned that when I was at Cabela's and Gander. The fitting rooms are one of the "hot spots" for shoplifting, sex and other "private functions". :eek:

I don't know, when ever I am on a military base, or at a function where "Taps" or the Anthem is played, I stop what I am doing and provide the proper display of respect. I come to attention and salute, whether I am part of the ceremony or not. It is called showing courtesy for others. Strange...

Far to much of this sort of thing goes on.
