You should have read beyond the first paragraph. Quote: "Rear Adm. Brian L. Losey, the top U.S. special operations commander for Africa, said the U.S. troops are now stationed in bases in Uganda, Congo, South Sudan and Central African Republic.""Four countries" is precisely accurate, according to the news story. So what's your objection to that statement? For those of you voting against U.S. troops in Africa, what about the atrocities being committed by the LRA, that our troops are helping the indigenous forces to hunt down and kill? Don't you care about the massacres of innocents that are occurring there? If 100 U.S. troops can save thousands of innocent lives, and bring peace to the region, isn't that worth it? We're not talking about thousands of our own soldiers involved in direct combat here - we're just helping the friendly forces do the tough work of defeating this madman. Your forgetting man, we are held to a double standard! The same people that are saying we should NOT get involved now, are the ones that will be bashing us for not getting involved SOONER, as soon as it fits their agenda. I for one am hoping for the opportunity to deploy to Africa Jack of all trades. Military Free Fall Jumpmaster. USA Static-line Jumpmaster.

I have done limited shooting (so take it for whats is worth, nothing scientific) with my M4 sideways, mostly laying on my back and other baricade shooting, and a few times in actualy firefights, creating as low of a profile as possible. The times I did it at the range though, had no problem at 50 yds and in hitting an 8" circle on a shilouette target. so the offset isnt to great at those distances. Jack of all trades.

Of course I am worried about the object. The object determines my defence options and strategies. Different concept thenw e were discussing, since I wasn't advocating bans or legislation. However, you agree with invading a country because they supposedly had weapons they were not allowed to have. Quite the double standard you've got going on. If you are worried about defense options, why not use your 2nd Amendment right, get yourselfs a CCW permit, pick up a nice 1911, or other easily concealed handgun, and be pro active about protection. Instead, your hoping that the criminal that attacks you, is following (parts) of the law by atacking you without a gun but rather a bat, or knife (which as shown can be equally as deadly). Also you ask which I would rather face, an atacker with a gun, or an atacker with a bat, that would vary on the individual, and proximity. I am much more scared of say my mother with a bat, than her with a gun, (she has never shot a gun and probably couldnt even figure out how to load a round in the chamber). And as far as invading a country goes, now your talking about breaking UN resolutions, weapons of MASS destruction, things of that nature, not really a good comparison. Even if it was though, that argument would only be valid against criminals who illegally own guns to begin with, NOT law abiding citizens, so I STILL do not see where you are trying to go with this.

Here is a simple question for you: Why is your army outfitted with firearms and not bats? You talk about effectiveness, with that argument wouldnt a bat be better, more effective for a criminal, legal to own, can carry on the street openly, use on a target (victim) of opportunity, where as a gun he risks more, simply by leaving the house with it?

Right. Saying that guns are more effective at killing people than bats is the same as wanting to ban guns. Incredible levels of logical thinking are being displayed here. Both a bat, and a gun are inanimate objects, that require human input in order to cause death. Figured I would break it down Barney style for ya. Jack of all trades. Military Free Fall Jumpmaster.

When hobby rocket motors are used in thousands of homicides each year, yes, I shall definitely be in favor of it. In fact, if they were involved in just 100 homicides a year I would. Now try a different silly argument. Knives are used in hundreds of murders per year, so your against making it illegal for bed bath and beyond to sell cutlery now? Jack of all trades.

I recently purchased a used rig, javelin oddesy, pilot 210 main, pdr 193.... just had the main and reserve inspected and the reserve really packed. I've been practicing packing the main, trying to learn how to pro pack (I was taught flat packing in the military ). Any way I noticed on my d bag there are multiple different sized rubber bands.. and one white tube stow, most of which need to be replaced. Any way to figure out what size rubber bands and or tube Stows I need? Thanks in advance. Jack of all trades. Military Free Fall Jumpmaster. USA Static-line Jumpmaster.

Simply put, your an idiot. They are not pissing on the memory of anyone, except maybe the thousands of Al Quaeda, and Taliban that have fallen thanks to a Marine Scout Sniper. I am a Recon Marine, like the Marines in that photo, not all of us are Scout Snipers, but a good portion are, and I know Snipers of every race, and creed, and id say 90% including the jewish ones have the SS bolts tattooed on their body. It has nothing to do with the SS of Germany, Its simply a Logo, that was adopted in the 60's and 70's. Leave it at that and stop trying to find ways to bitch about everything, that may or may non upset a minoroity of people. Thanks to bitching and whining Ive had to take hours out of my day's recently to go through gear inspections to ensure no one has SS bolts on anything, this time could have been used to train Marines for combat, but instead we stand in formation to please a few people.

Any idea which 03 MOS youd like to get into? I wouldnt put to much emphasis on distance running, do more crossfit and interval type running, and sprints, even the Corps is switching over to HIT (there version of CrossFit) also grab an old alice pack from a surplus store with a frame, drop in a 35lb sandbag and go walk/run a few miles thats more important than running slick in pt gear and shoes.

Did i say it excused it? no learn to read Did i say it wasnt wrong? look above But the media should not be hanging these Marines out to dry, when is the last time you saw something bad the taliban did on the news? And I assure you, it happens on a weekly basis, but our media doesnt show this? why? so why should this much attention be put on a few Marines who had a really poor lack of judgement?

The words of someone who has no intelligent response left. While most US soldiers are honorable, to defend these few guys, who clearly have no honor, does nothing but dishonor the majority. read and respond to my entire post, i didnt just say "shit happens" Jack of all trades.

You disagree about walking in our shoes because you haven't, I had a similar train of thought before i deployed the first time. War, especially the type of war we are fighting against the Taliban that follow no rules of war, is different than civilian life and murder back here. Shit happens, its that simple, fortunately we have not committed even 1% of the atrocities that the Taliban has. Bit that shit doesn't make the media. Were these Marines wrong, yea, should they be punished, minimally in my opinion, the media is pitting more attention on this than need be, its that simple really. Jack of all trades.

Arabs do what again? cut off more heads, drag more bodies through the street? burn them? hang them from a bridge? murder innocent civilans, intentionally? shot a kid in the back of the head and try to blame the US for collateral dammage? if you honestly think pissing on a corpse is in the same league, you sir have some issues.
