  3. Maybe I should read the rules but I sometimes can not be board with Rules... red Tape.. political correctness and the such... i AM A PROUD VETERAN OF 22 YEARS.. I was in the Gulf when the "Tanker Wars" started in the early 80's. I was in the Gulf again in 1990 during Desert Watch, and in 1991 during Desert Storm. In 1992 through 1995 protecting the No Fly zone over Iraq. And to read Someones post about WAR not being an option insults me and thousands of others. I tried to respond to a post by Wendy. I do respect her opinons although I disagree with them. I flew over Iraq in an effort to protect her freedom to feel the way she's allowed to feel and EXPRESS those feelings openly. BUT.. I do not have to aggree with them, that's the freedom and the right I fought for! Sadam is a BAD man.... there is a woman POW right now, what the FUCK do you think that women is going through right now? Tell ME, not to feel the need to BOMB the living crap out of anything walking in IRAQ. IRAQIE militia dressed as cvilians welcoming US solders, turned and abmushed US. DO YOU HEAR ME... They DRUG DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS throught the streets... Listen... You DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE with the Pres.'s decision BUT these are YOUR PROPLE fighting. Support them! They are there with the belief they are protecting your right to spit on them when they come home. I know I'm a "NEWBIE" to the dropzone forum,, but I am NOT a NEWBIE to fighting in IRAQ. Support the US... like it or not.. they are supporting you! Blue Skies.... while we have men and women supporting our way of life. SMA#18

  5. I want to express an apoligy for my recent posts on this topic. Not for my views but for the way I expressed them. I spent many years over there as I'm sure many forum readers have, lost many friends over there and growing up in New York City with in view of the towers, there were close childhood friends killed on 9-11. My son just went over there this week and a few beers into worring last night, my emotions got the better of me.... Blue Skies SMA#18
  6. In part.....For more than four decades, the American people have been told that U.S. interventionism was motivated by the Soviet threat, whether in Guatemala in 1954, or the Dominican Republic in 1965, or Chile in 1973, or Nicaragua in the 1980s. No matter how irrelevant the Soviet role was, the Moscow monster served as a convenient excuse for policies in fact driven by the interests of those who own the dominant economic institutions and of their allies in the government. In the current new "post-Cold War" era, with the Soviet withdrawal from international competition with the United States, the Bolshevik bogey is simply no longer convincing. The real motives for U.S. interventionism haven't changed, but new excuses for intervention have to be found. In 1989 alone, the United States employed military force three times -- shooting down Libyan planes, neutralizing the Philippine air force during an anti-Aquino coup attempt, and, of course, invading Panama. (U.S. troops were also poised to intervene in El Salvador during the FMLN offensive in November.) The anti-Soviet rationale was not credible in any of these instances, but other excuses came readily to hand: Third World provocation and terrorism, the protection of democracy, and stopping the flow of drugs. The excuses were lame, but they were apparently sufficiently compelling to many Americans. If we are to combat U.S. interventionism in the future, we will need to combat the new rationalizations. One of the major U.S. targets during those years -- and a likely candidate in years to come -- has been Libya. To many Americans, Libyan craziness, particularly that of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, is a self-evident cause for U.S. anxiety. Even before the U.S. took military action against this North African nation, there seemed no doubt that Libyans hated America. Why? For starters, there is Muslim fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is one of humanity's most primitive and dangerous impulses, though, of course, Muslims have no monopoly on it, and many U.S. commentators seem to forget their critique of even Muslim "fanaticism" when it is allied with their government (as in Afghanistan) or used by "friendly" governments against communists (as in Indonesia in 1965) or against other trouble- makers (as in the West Bank and Gaza where Israeli authorities promote the fundamentalist Hamas against the PLO). But fundamentalism is far from the whole story. Libya was not Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran. The proclaimed ideals of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi borrow as much from Rousseau as from Muslim thinkers, and he is much better understood as a secular, rather than a religious. The real source of the Libyan antagonism toward the United States can be found in the history of the relationship between the two countries. SMA#18
  7. I re-read your post and you actually said "He will do whatever it takes to stay in power, and that has included being pro-american." Are you a GD (abreviated so you wouldn't find it to offensive) idoit? You actually had the balls to put the words "Sadam" and "Pro-American" in the same sentenence? He'd subject your 3 year old daughther to nerve gas with you watching if he had the chance! I've seen it! I know! I do love my country and my flag... but I do now understand the term, "Going Postal" SMA#18
  8. If your insulted by my freedom to speak my mind by my "language" you are to "politically correct" for this forum. Try the Mr. Rogers, neighborhood coloring page. I Lost 4 of my best friends in 1990 gulf war detering that mad mad, one of those men flew with me! That man is a AWEOME manipulator, he's got Englands Prime Misister thinking now at the same time he's using chemical weapons on his own in house prisoners to see how affective they are! *and has obviously got you believing he's not a bad guy!) If your offended by my language, strap on a "G" suit and come for a ride, see what I've seen, wipe the tears from the the faces of the kids who's Dads DID not come home in 1991. Unless your willing to do that DO NOT get on your GD horse to me! Via con dios.... and Blue Skies.. (seriously) SMA#18

  11. Let me step up on my soap box for just a second... Hussain is a "A" number one bad person... WHY? Because he kills his own people with methods he wants to make sure work on us, AMERICANS. The same people who enjoy the freedom of believing "War" is not the way to go, are the same people that believe it's OK (as a foriegn student) to turn their backs on OUR flag in protest. If that BITCH were in her own CUNTrey she's be flogged and left to the vultures. But NOT here in America where the freedom to protest your flag is protected but the desire to receipt the "Pleadge the Alegance" in schools deemed "unconstitutional". I love my country, and as a verteran of 23 years, many of which was flying and protecting the 34th paralell for you stupid SOB's NOt willing to fight and die for your freedom, just pisses me right the fuck off. For all you passifists sitting there with your new fancy rigs, with your Stilletos and Purdy looking jump suits, hoping we don't go to war cause your affraid it may hinder your summer jump schedules.... READ A PAPER!!! This insane AMERAICAN hater wants to KILL YOU and EVERYTHING you stand for! And you morons do not understand why war is nessecasry! Let me put it in terms you may understand.... never mind,,, I'm too GD digusted! SMA#18
  12. Damn... I'm going to call them now, just cause I want to know what's going on! More to follow! SMA#18
  13. That's just it, it very well may not be their domain. We got nailed last year by a "Secret Admirer" scam where it pulled up an AOL domain screen (or so they thought) and it asked you to put in your screen name and password and receive your "secret Admirer" card. the Next day, AOL shut our account down for Porno solicitation. After I called they told me what had happened. So do not believe your actually going to an AOL domain, especially if it asks for either a CC or Screen name and password. SMA#18
  14. I'd call AOL and ask them about that web site your getting directed to. AOL never ever asked for a credit card number so this must be some sort of elaborate scam using AOL's own graphics tro make it look official. SMA#18
