They go on, as best they can, just like all the wounded in all the wars before them. You do the best you can in the situation you have. You drive on. Many of them are working their asses off to get BACK on duty status. That alone says a lot. And the people of the Unites States should be...

Friday Mornings at the Pentagon ***By** JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY **McClatchy Newspapers** Over the last 12 months, 1,042 soldiers, Marines, sailors and Air Force personnel have given their lives in the terrible duty that is war. Thousands more have come home on stretchers, horribly wounded and...

Interesting. Thats the same method used by the environmentalists in the NW to get areas closed off to certain activities. They find a species (Lets say the suck toad), that is well and healthy. They then create a sub species (The SPOTTED Suck Toad), which is pretty much exactly the same as the...

When acting as pilot in command of an aircraft, in VFR conditions, YOU are responsible for keeping separation of your aircraft from other aircraft. One or both of the pilots messed up trying to get the best shot for the news room. The guy who was being chased is a criminal, but he did not...

"You can’t negotiate a peace with a terrorist, there are only two options available to you, kill them before they kill you or die." 110% Correct. It is also pretty much impossible to bring someone back from that "brink", once someone becomes a terrorist. Their heads are just filled with way...

RE: an intelligent observation 2/3 of a century ea For what we were expecting at the time (2001) we had an adequate sized military. IN the last decade or so, we have gone away form a cold war type mentality (masses of troops and equipment to feed into a US vs USSR grinder) to a smaller...

RE: who says the union is killing American automak Its hard to bolt tires on new cars. It requires years of expensive training and schooling. Sheesh, can you really blame them for getting paid so much, and requiring a 15 minute break every hour or so? ;-) Aviator

Yep, I have enjoyed it also. Have not had a lot of time to participate lately though. Maybe later this summer :7 Aviator

Holy crap!!! That is SO very accurate. After being here in Afghanistan, and seeing some things, then seeing how they were reported in the news. Aviator

Majority of "Towel Heads" are Indian, not Arab. Big difference. Indians are Hindu. And when was the last terrorist attack in the US? Sept 11th? Seems like we are doing something right. Not that things are perfect, but we seem to be doing ok so far. Anyway, out of curiosity, whats that got to...

Some excellent info in there. Thanks for posting this. Aviator

Please ask them their favorite US President and why. George Bush Jr. Because he got rid of Saddam. Who was their least favorite and why. Clinton. They said he was weak and all they remember about him is negative crap about the whole Lewinsky thing.

Where did all the chemical/biological weapons go? Syria? They say they think he sold them or gave them away to Syria, or back to Russia or China. Possibly also gave or sold them to Iran. How do they like the M16 vs. the AK? To be honest they aren't really well educated on the subject. Medo...

What is their view on being killed in combat? What sort of after life do they think of? They are worried about dying, mostly because they are the sole bread winners for their large families and they would have nobody to support them. They say their vision of the afterlife is basically if you...

What do they think of MREs (if they've had them)? Hussein says he likes some of them, but not all. He loves the cake, and bisquits (cookies) and gum. Of course some of them are not halal and some of the stuff that is old he didn't like. Al has two wives, and 7 children. Four with wife #1 and...

I think the guys (Iraqi) that the Friend of mine works with are kind of all over the place as far as how they look at things. My friend is doing a pretty good job of describing each one I believe. Like I said, some of the questions might be a little too gun related, or military related for the...

Let me know if this is helpful or interesting to you at all. I will continue to add them as they are added to t he other thread. This is from a more right leaning gun web site. So some of the questions are going to be gun/weapon related.
