  1. remind me again... when was the last time we invaded a country to promote democracy? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  2. Just lead your aim a little bit more... Dude...he's a turtle. Just don't lead him so much! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S06nIz4scvI www.FourWheelerHB.com
  3. Guerrilla warfare, while utilized by insurgents, to me is small unit warfare. I really want to avoid using the term "insurgents" because I see them as a very special breed of fighter rather than a tactic or strategy. I think we're giving insurgents too much credit or perhaps I'm not giving insurgents enough credit. Unmanned vehicles was just an example as there is a plethora of technologies which will be utilized in the future. Didn't necessarily want to focus on that as the only technology but I feel it is the next step and the US, as well as other major armies of the world, will be heavily supported by such vehicles. So more appropriately 4GW should be called information (intelligence/counterintelligence) and communication? Or maybe propaganda? The GW concept seems too simplistic imo but you are right...it does open up the discussion about future wars and what is to be expected. Or what should we expect. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  4. I kept getting my left finger confused with my right. They look so similar. Ah yes...I'm ambidextrous so.... www.FourWheelerHB.com
  5. Well, I just murdered 20 minutes of my time taking this test. The results: Coulda toldya that w/o taking the test. And that's why I'm qualified to play the race card: I am pure of thought. It took you 20 minutes? Took me 5. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  6. Why not take the test yourself? https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/ www.FourWheelerHB.com
  7. how is this thread still in Bonfire? Remarkable! www.FourWheelerHB.com
  8. Concur. Although I'm betting it will take less than 50 years for return on that investment. So you two would scheme to get rich off those in need? Hey, I'm a capitalist at heart. If I can become the next George Soros, then I can invest in all sorts of wonderful things I want with *my* money ... & folks in SC can challenge my motivations. Seriously, I heartily support legal and ethical investing and start-up ventures. /Marg ... co-founded my first start-up at 26 Well I'd be willing to bet a solution would be found, thanks to capitalism, before a crisis turns your water into gold. Since your supply of water is infinite (read:free) you'd be better off starting a bottled water company which you can sell cheaper than anyone else while using your profits to research, invent, and patent a biodegradable plastic for your bottled water company. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  9. Insurgents/terrorists. But that doesn't mean it's 4GW. It's about the only option they have considering their circumstances. Edited to add: I do not believe it would be their first choice if they had other reasonable options. The main reason I do not believe insurgency is 4GW is because generational warfare is adopted by all sides. 1GW - Massed manpower 2GW - firepower 3GW - manuever These were tactics everyone used once it was developed. Simply because the next gen made the last gen obsolete. Just ask the French when Germany decided to roll over them with tanks. Continuous defense had become obsolete. Insurgency, while we may see it adopted by those without a sufficient military, won't be adopted (imo)by the US, China, Russia, or any other major army of the world becuase I do not see it making firepower and manuever obsolete. The more I think about it the entire theory of generational warfare has a lot of holes in it. Unortunately, I'm out of time for today but I do have a lot of thoughts on this so will touch on it again within the next few days. www.FourWheelerHB.com

  11. I definitely do not agree insurgencies and terrorism are the wave of the next generation. 4GW will be adopted by all sides (due to being largely successfull) rather than just those without a military. Insurgencies are nothing new and are only a tactic against an superior military opposition (French Resistance WW2) or as a supplemental tactic (Vietcong) . 4GW, IMO, will be technology based. Or more specifically, guerrilla warfare heavily supported by technology (i.e. unmanned vehicles). www.FourWheelerHB.com
  12. Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Future wars? How far into the future? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  13. I'll take "I just fuckin realized something" for $1000 Alex. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  14. And having a nagging wife + screaming annoying kids is good eh? Both existences have their misery. www.FourWheelerHB.com

  16. Holy shit! When viewed through a teleprompter Obama DOES look black. I had no idea. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  17. I didn't say you stepped over the line just that you're out of line. I tell you what...I'll point out where you're out of line as soon as you point out Mike's racist remark. AND I don't even like Mike. Fuck Mike! OK that's a lie but if it weren't this conversation would still be the same. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  18. So what you're saying is any criticism of Obama is race driven? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  19. Perhaps you can help me out because I'm having a difficult time seeing where you find the race card, or race at all, in "Precedant" www.FourWheelerHB.com
