Ralph Peters: ignore COIN theory and pull out of Afghanistan
downwardspiral replied to nerdgirl's topic in Speakers Corner
I keep forgetting to mention how absolutely amusing it is for me being a former Marine to see a retired Army officer suggest retreat while referencing the Chosin Resevior. Brilliant! www.FourWheelerHB.com -
I meant to put the Winchester 70 or the Remington 700. I'm glad you understood my mistake. How about Charles Whitman? The point is that what some have called "assault weapons" are simply classified as scary looking. What you would classify as an assault weapon, has obvious flaws and exceptions. Others have called for a banning of all calibers that are used or have been used by the US military. Well, that's literally just about every caliber made. With all the current gun laws on the books, how is another AWB going to do anything for society except limit our rights as law abiding citizens. Since you folks tell us that the same functionality is found in "scary looking" packages as in more normal ones, what is the purpose of buying a "scary looking" firearm for hunting? Do you want to scare the animals away before you shoot them? OTOH, if the reason is to scare people, then maybe that is a reason to ban them. And if gun folks just want one because it makes them feel macho, maybe they should invest in some penis-enlarging therapy instead. I have to applaude you. No one can argue with that kind of logic. It all comes down to the penis. Bravo. www.FourWheelerHB.com

Ralph Peters: ignore COIN theory and pull out of Afghanistan
downwardspiral replied to nerdgirl's topic in Speakers Corner
hmmm http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_11735005 McKiernan said the extra Army and Marine forces will have counterinsurgency capability but also be ready to conduct training with Afghan police forces. He said they will be sent to southern Afghanistan, where he said there have been insufficient security forces to confront the insurgents. McKiernan said the extra troops would be sufficient for what he believes needs to be done through summer, when the fighting tends to be heaviest. He described the Obama decision as meeting about two-thirds of his overall needs in combat capability over the coming three to five years. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
Ralph Peters: ignore COIN theory and pull out of Afghanistan
downwardspiral replied to nerdgirl's topic in Speakers Corner
Are we using the same strategy in Afghanistan as we did in Iraq when it comes to the surge? Maybe I'm just an idealist but I have a hard time believing the strategy is the same and so am confused by the criticism because I haven't seen anything that specifically details the strategy in Afghanistan. Are we criticizing the strategy or are we just criticizing moving 30k troops into the area? Also lets consider what "the surge" looks like politically. 99.999999% of American people do not have the level of knowledge on the subject that you do Marg. If Obama DID NOT send the surge in then he would appear to be doing nothing about Afghanistan. Edited to -e www.FourWheelerHB.com -

After the election I was disappointed but.....

The moment he "mad dogged" a reporter for asking questions he didn't want to answer, my suspicions were confirmed. Unfortunately I feel it's much worse than you think. But he is the golden boy who can do no wrong and only has the country's best interests at heart. *rolls eyes* www.FourWheelerHB.com -
Because beyond a certain point, and I'm not saying what that is at this time, a certain amount of kinetic energy over time really only serves one real purpose; having the ability to kill a high volume of people in a very short amount of time. This is, in fact, what the weapons are designed to do. The way you are talking you would only leave us law abiding citizens with single fire bolt action rifles. www.FourWheelerHB.com

I'm curious... what effect do you think an assault weapon ban would have and why do we need one? Or more specifically why do you want one? www.FourWheelerHB.com

It also means she will be a highly experienced diplomat in 8 years. So if she doesn't screw up or she doesn't turn out to be somewhat flacid like Condie then she will have an excellent chance at giving the Dems a full 16 year run. I will be paying very close attention to how this is handled next week when the launch goes off. I really hope they don't shoot the missile down. www.FourWheelerHB.com -

Awesome! You sound like just the person to write the correct definition then. What should that be? You know I really enjoyed these games when it was with Kallend. I feel like I was one of the few here who really got what he was doing. One thing I learned from him is if he was avoiding the main point of my entire post...he either agreed with me, could not dispute my logic, or saw it for the trap that it probably was. My original post was to illustrate the ridiculousness of trying define "assault weapons" for the sake of a ban. I'm sure you agree. www.FourWheelerHB.com

According to CA law the weapon shown in the first video IS NOT an assault weapon. While the weapon shown in the 2nd video is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChVEri7uOg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ9sFBU6Dx4&feature=related www.FourWheelerHB.com

Do you think America is a "free" country
downwardspiral replied to shortyj's topic in Speakers Corner
Gamble on-line . . . seriously? This is a big issue? I don't even gamble except maybe throw some coins in a slot or two or three while im in vegas. However in the same respect I'm not gay either but I do feel gay marriage should not be illegal. So gambling online isn't a big issue but I have to ask why is it illegal? As far as owning guns in the US, I think you'll find the US is pretty fuggin' well armed. I'm not really certain how anybody can think otherwise. I do own a firearm and I can bear it but I can't load it while I'm bearing it without it being a felony. Not even in my front yard. Oh and if I do decide to holster it on my hip, unconcealed, while unloaded, then you best believe I will be proned out by the cops even though it is perfectly legal to do. Marijuana . . . ok, maybe you don't have a lot of "legal" options, but it's certainly available and I'm nearly certain most people can get any quantity they want if they have the money or, if they aren't too lazy, grow their own. Ability and freedom are two different things. www.FourWheelerHB.com -

downwardspiral replied to shortyj's topic in Speakers Corner
Close but I think I deserve more credit than that. Allow me to make some changes. 1. Voting for bread and circuses is bad. 2. Republicans and Democrats in general are the party of bread and circuses. MLB steroid use hearings anyone? Fuck they even tried to make the Belicheck cheat scandal a skeptical. Thankfully they failed. 3. I think Obama and Congress will further erode the US Constitution. Obama is transparent and Congress doesn't even try to hide it anymore. 4 & 5 aren't even necessary. Now if I was wrong about Obama, and damn do I wish I was, then the candidate who promised to do something about Guantanimo Bay would cause heads to roll in light of new reports of even worse torture at the aformentioned base. Goddamn do I wish I was wrong. www.FourWheelerHB.com -

Well let me put it this way. I oppose a licensing program BECAUSE it can potentially be used by ass hats to take away our ability to defend ourselves with a firearm. www.FourWheelerHB.com
