Does he happen to put certain items you use all the time on the top shelf? www.FourWheelerHB.com

I'll be honest, when I was young (teenager) I always searched out the tall guy because I always hated being short and if I were to have children I wanted my kids to have a chance at getting some height in the genes. Since gaining a weee bit of maturity, I've learned that height doesn't make the man! g I've always felt like the only reason short women like me is because I can reach the top shelves in the kitchen. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I wish the Taliban had the same attitude. We would have won by now. www.FourWheelerHB.com

looks like your post quoting the entire article was binned. Karen was asking for the study NOT the article however. www.FourWheelerHB.com

heh....why am I not surprised you think I don't know what they're used for? www.FourWheelerHB.com

Ever wonder about those grocery store club cards? www.FourWheelerHB.com

Are you one of those people that has to comment everytime an obese person enters your line of sight? www.FourWheelerHB.com

I'd take it to mean they're not over their ex yet. www.FourWheelerHB.com

You are incorrect. They are just pointing out how you like to propose violence as a solution to oppression which is amusing. www.FourWheelerHB.com

. Yes I do. But that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone here. www.FourWheelerHB.com

On the surface it doesn't seem like an honest study to me either. I would be interested to see the study as I supect many of the "victims" were gunned down by police. But I'm not $30 worth of interested. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Yes, he's Special Forces. More specifically Army Ranger. (Others can debate/disagree with me whether or not or too what extent that qualifies as SF.) One of the best, imo, ....oh, what's the word I'm looking for (brain-farting at the moment ) ... narrative biographical sketches by another SF officer: The Pope. I wouldn't necessarily call him a COIN guru. He's a definite convert and viewed widely as an operator who can execute and implement COIN-based strategic objectives. Dave Kilcullen is a COIN guru. /Marg Thanks Marg. I remember the pope article now. Weren't you pleased with his promotion to his current position due to his knowledge in COIN theory? I'm not aware of McChrystal's reasoning for wanting more troops (I may have missed it in the article and admittedly I'm not as knowledgable about the region as I should be) but Kilcullen himself says,"We need to get into the business of making people feel safe and making them feel willing to participate in a political process that doesn't involve violence." In light of this, I don't necessarily see a request for more troops to be synonomous with a departure from COIN theory. More boots on the ground doesn't necessarily mean more boots kicking in doors unless they are deployed to do so. It could very well mean increased security and a more focused humanitarian mission. One thing I fear in implimenting COIN theory is as our focus turns more toward the Afghan people, so will our enemies' and we could very well unintentionally make the Afghan people targets. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Remind me...isn't McChrystal a former SF commander and current COIN guru? www.FourWheelerHB.com

To be fair...there have been studies showing an increased aggression level in children after playing violent video games. So it is an excellent idea to closely monitor what children play and to limit their availability to children through the ESRB ratings. However, to make the jump from increased aggression levels to causation for murder is reaching at best. www.FourWheelerHB.com
