Sigs are very accurate, have a nice trigger, last forever, and just a damned peasure to shoot, besides the fact it is a first shot weapon(no safety to contend with).

Soldier's Casket on Baggage Cart Associated Press | December 01, 2006 ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The Army is investigating a woman's claim that a Soldier's flag-draped casket was placed in an airport baggage cart with other luggage while being transferred between airline flights. "The Army is always concerned with treating all of our fallen comrades' remains with the utmost dignity and respect," spokesman Lt. Col. Kevin Arata said in a statement Thursday. Cynthia Hoag, 56, a former Army reservist, said she was waiting for a flight at Rochester International Airport on Oct. 27 when she saw the coffin taken off a commercial flight along with passengers' luggage. A uniformed Soldier accompanied the coffin as it was placed in a baggage car and transported to another flight, she said. "At the very least, couldn't there have been a hearse to transport the fallen Soldier?" Hoag asked in an essay in Tuesday's Democrat and Chronicle newspaper. "At the very least, couldn't there have been a group of Soldiers to receive one of their own? "It was a very sobering, sad experience for all of us," wrote Hoag, who said she witnessed the episode from a terminal window while waiting for a flight along with her sister-in-law and two friends. "Please don't let this happen again to any Soldier. Let's not treat our fallen troops like baggage." Her account prompted Monroe County's executive, Maggie Brooks, to write a letter of her own to the Pentagon, asking it to change the policy for transporting the coffins of war casualties. A Pentagon spokeswoman, Cynthia Smith, said Hoag's description doesn't correlate with military procedure. Remains of Soldiers killed in Iraq are taken to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, then usually flown to a Soldier's home, Smith said. Military escorts accompany each flight and when a casket reaches the home area, it is met by an honor guard of two people and then transported to a funeral home, she said. Airport director David Damelio disputed Hoag's claims, saying a coffin wouldn't fit into a cart loaded with luggage. Calls to Hoag's home in Dansville, 50 miles south of Rochester, went unanswered Thursday. Sound Off...What do you think? Join the discussion.

I hate this fucking mouse, I want another Trackman marble FX, too bad they don't make them anymore. grrrrrrrrrr

Don't forget to add political leaders who are hand wringing sissies. Our enemies cannot defeat our military, so they go for the easy victory over our politicians.

Got pictures and an address for the owners?

Some topics need to left be.

I will simply ask that you guys just knock it off, and quit slagging anyone who HAD to carry a rifle...PERIOD.

The life of a friend/s.

I just looked it up, you are correct.

I know what i want to give all the hot Czech girls for Christmas.

Um no he wouldn't, Bear is a Squaddie. And he was a very good one.

He has to. Actually is was a dbl. since he coined me knowing I may have one on me., then he gave me his Mustang Coin, it is tradition, I wonder why I got one? It must have been the chili.

I would have to look it up, I thought an ensign is O2 since midshipman is an O1. Lt.Jg is like a 1st Lt. Lt. is the equivalent of Army Captain. I could be wrong, I am not a Sailor. You are probably right.

E-7 to O-2

The Navy does it far more often. Very old practice going back to the days of wooden ships. I wonder if has ever been on a ship!

Whether or not you believe that they acted logically (according to your thoughts) you have to agree that they acted in a way that sent a clear message. You are preaching to the choir here.

My friend just got Mustanged I am very proud of him

I'm well aware that perspective is everything, but the perspective of the camera does not change the fact that the dog received medical attention before the human. That's not the way it works in civilized societies. If I shoot someone they don't need no stinking medical attention, they should die. That dog did nothing but obey his masters, I wish the dog was unhurt.

No hypocracy in animals. If you have a dog it truly is your best freind. You know it!

Geez... I didn't even read anything offensive

(as said by TONTO) And that comment, quite the ballsy statement from someone sitting behind a computer, would you still have the guts to say that standing toe to toe with an American soldier, or any American for that matter. I highly doubt it, if you wouldn't say it to a persons face why on here, it's an act of cowardice if you ask me, and I think i've made it clear in these forums before where cowards stand in my book. Take it from someone who has been there twice and is packing my bags at the moment to spend the next 9 months over there, it has nothing to do with how the soldiers are fighting, there's been a lot of leadership issues at the highest levels, not to mention the media making everything into a huge issue forcing more and more restrictions on the way we fight. Because of people bitchin about us doing our job we now might as well sit down with the people shooting at us and have a heart to heart with them before engaging them. Seems that most of the people out there would rather see us die than kill a fucking terrorist. Ain't that the truth

I would fire the cops, the next thing they shoot in error will be each other. I would have traded a cop for the dog. But like I said, I like animals better than people.

QuoteI think the people who voted yes are joking - as was I by putting up the post. Who would really like to see a televised excecution? A few warped souls yes, but on Christmas Day? reply] Huh?

getting back on topic shoot a caliber you can afford to buy or you won't shoot as much as you would like.
