    How long with involuntary extensions? AF is not doing that to my particular AFSC...

    He said that at the RNC acceptance speech in 2000, too. I guess being top of the agenda doesn't mean much. Affirmative Anyone can say anything but that doesn't mean anything does it. This is a non political statement remember slick willy never had sex with monica either SOS R.I.P. What chunky chicks Clinton boned has far less importance to most than the survival of SS...

    Ok, that is just as extreme. I know. I was illustrating the extremism of his position by playing devil's advocate...

    How about doubling Pell Grant funding? The Pentagon is wasting the money anyway, they can do without it. Why not invest in educating the poulation? With that all-or-nothing mentality, you'd be right. You'd need the $ for mandatory Arabic and Islam classes.

    With $20 billion you should be able to afford to fix some of the fuckups or hire the right individuals. And how much has been spent on this idea since 1983 and they still can't get it to work???? Should we even start with the debate over the fact that the shield probably won't work? Putin announced recently that Russia has a new non-linear missle and a bit more new technology that would make the shield useless. At this point it wouldn't matter since we can't get the missle off the ground or to get it to hit a target that hasn't been painted or has a tracking chip in it. I'm not an engineer, but I do know Acq/Test & Eval. This technology is getting invented as they go, to meet specs. That's gonna be expensive. I dunno. I have no position on the work/won't work debate. That's the obligation of the System Program Office, or "SPO." Add their influence, plus that of the Congresscritters whose district the work is in, and you are more likely to find the moneypit/culprits.

    It's not that easy. See some of BikerBabe's postings in the Armored Humvee thread about the clusterfuck that is the DoD acquisitions/test & eval process...

    Religious zealots in government, imposing their views on others...

    This is why my discharge date is 1 Feb 05. I'm not gonna be Dubya's stooge anymore.

    Ok. I'll bring my hipscarf so we can do a "welcome home" dance. wha?

    Solution: Add cat into the engine compartment of the car. No more mouse!

    Looks like the first week of February. Gotta tie up some loose ends before I give Uncle Sam the "One-Finger Salute."

    Hanging up my Capt bars in Feb. Moving back to IL to pursue admission to law School. Gotta love the VA-they're paying my tuition, giving me the GI Bill, and putting the down pmt on my house, once I figure out which law school I get into. In the interim, going to room with my buddy in Aurora, the same guy who got me into skydiving 6 years ago.... It's scary, but the opportunity to get to go to law school, and have it paid for is too much to resist. The USAF has been fun, but it's time for me to seek greener pastures.. Farewell New Mexico, Hello again to the place of my birth, Chicago. I haven't lived there full time in a decade I just need to do that whole "find a job to tide me over whilst I apply to Law School" thing. Anyone in Chicago/Western Suburbs want to hire a Veteran with an BA in politics, an MBA, and a security clearance?? I needs me a J-O-B. SDC is gonna be a great time...

    Anything new, or just spewing the usual "I hate America" thing. This kind of thing has happened in every war, and has been done by every country. The only reason it's getting attention is the insane policy of embedded reporters. You never answered one particular question, Botellines, and your silence speaks volumes: Have you ever been in the miliary, in peace or wartime?

    ...So this is the Anti-CP crowd trying for moral superiority versus the pro-CP crowd's drive for Punishment/Bloodlust?
  22. DrunkMonkey
    How does that prove causality? It could just as easily be that way due to increased preventative law enforcement... Having grown up in Chicago, I came to a blunt conclusion: let the gangbangers and crackheads kill each other. It's cheaper than rehab or incarceration. Just keep them the hell out of my neighborhood.

    Opt for a bench trial. In most states, only a jury can sentence someone to death. You all but guarantee LWOPP, but you do dodge the needle...

    I got a sure-fire way to derail this: BOOBS!

    Because the system gives material benefits to those who do. It's a purely mercenary act.
