Why the Fuck are 'public safety' officers (aka LEO, FD etc...) not paid for their overtime when we are supposedly so concerned about safety and security?? oh yea.. because the people who do the real work always get the shaft... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hardly, quite clearly many military experts predicted EXACTLY what would happen... it just didnt line up with the vision the administration was trying to sell to the public so it was ignored.. more reading from an editor with no real political, diplomatic or military experience?? bah... i prefer to listen to those with real experience in the realm, even when they are ignored by the decision makers... to the peril of those who must do the work on the ground... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you really need to take the political blinders off.... some of us are trying to support the TROOPS, not the political misfits who put them in harms way without the proper equipment and training in the first place... anyone who cant see that we started this without proper preparation and ignored clear indications that we were getting into more than a 'cake walk liberation' is a fool... unfortuantely the fools are in charge... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

and this is what many churches fear most... that their beliefs will be placed on a pedestal level with every other religious belief... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I disagree. I think that bias against gays is definitively Un-Christian. there is an add on TV lately that has a church with bouncers and a red rope at the door....the tag line is "Jesus didnt discriminate, why do you?" I cant recall which church it is for but its nice to see at least a few churches really are paying attention to the principles they supposedly revere..... there are some christians i have met who i have a great deal of respect for, men and women who really do live by the faith they publicly profess, they are the ones who seem to have read the Bible for themselves and found the message on their own without the need of a church or a pastor to tell them "what God says"..... but i'd say the majority (of those i've met, and i have met and talked with quite a number of them) are more interested in the exclusionary aspects of religion... the parts that give them reason to believe they are better than others...... the real 'Church Lady' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

but it seems the Enemy has read Yamamoto Tsunenori "Hidden Leaves" or at least understands his principles... bad things... very bad things to come..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you obviously havent read much of the data publicly available on this... nearly every senior leader (without a political cause to support) in the military establishment recognized that the 'cake walk' would not, could not occur as the 'adminsphere' claimed. This was based on information from those on the ground in Iraq prior and knowledge from the recognized experts in these kinds of conflict.. comparing Afghanistan to Iraq in this regard completely ignores the differences in culture, environment and enemy force. The administration likes to pretend there is a ‘single coherent group’ fighting against the US and that we will be able to 'cut its head off' to defeat 'terrorism', but anyone with any knowledge of the real situation will tell you this is not the case, they are simply united by a common enemy… US. the force protection issues were also raised BEFORE the invasion... in fact many soldiers and their families were personally purchasing body armor to address the obvious oversight on the part of the civilian leadership... there are reports from both 3rd and 4th IDs that stated they needed additional up armored hmmv’s for the kind of security role they were undertaking both BEFORE the actual invasion, and as the assumed their areas of responsibility.. without this very public 'town hall' session bringing this issue to the eyes to the general public, do you think any of this would be happening? Of course not……. once again the military has no choice but to file their reports, request additional equipment and then ‘shut up and color’ with what they have.....and there is even (political) pressure not to ask for things they cant easily get as well... Yes its being used as a political issue, but that doesn’t change the fact that Rumsfeld and staff ignored the data and went on with his own agenda, an agenda that is also clearly documented BEFORE Bush’s first election……. Admitting how difficult and how ill prepared we were for this type of conflict would have undermined much of the initial public support for invasion that existed… something they were not willing to do…after all its cheaper to lose a few extra soldiers than lose public support for your war and possibly lose an election later on... this administration has a well documented history of only looking at the data and advisors that agree, and then taking the actions that they have ALREADY decided on. It is a piss poor way to run a war and a country… “don’t let reality interfere with your template” after all.. it isnt your blood that gets shed when your wrong.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Someone surviving on a respirator isn't self sufficient, self sustaining life. Should pulling the not cout as murder? distractor.. at some point they were (and so fulfilled the definition) and either deteriorated due to age/disease or had an accident... in addition we are not trying to wiegh the rights of the 'respirator' vs the rights of the one on support.. now if you'd like to argue about the how the respirator's needs are secondary to the life it supports we certainly can, but your comparison does not apply otherwise... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

No fear of them at all, just do not want to give "them" made up rights that they never had and never should have. no we are prolife, preborn babies are alive. Since you are not then you are prodeath? Thank you-you said it before I could. ah yes this argument again.. warts are alive, they are not human, but they are alive. If you are against their removal regardless of the wishes of the Human to which they are attached you are anti-choice... before birth it is a fetus, after birth it becomes a baby... calling it a 'pre-born' baby doenst give it equal status with self sufficient, self sustaining life. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

uh already been there thanks..its quite fun and i look forward to doing more, but i still dont see it as "completely different" from tracking or flocking.... dont assume just because someone disagrees with your opinion they have no basis for their own.. btw... 'Flocking' is simply motion as a group... belly, sit, stand, wingsuit.... all the same... it differs from 'normal' RW in that it has forward motion as its primary focus and not turning points... we dont need 10,000 names for every angle of flight... but then no one can claim 'invention' and 'revolution' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

wow. if you cant see that Rumsfeld blatantly ignored the military experts (senior Generals and Sec. of the Army among them....) publicly denounced their analysis (an analysis that has since proven dead on target) and went ahead with his own agenda without regard to the real situation??? are you being... intentionally, politically obtuse just for the sake of argument?? the military has no choice but to 'shut up and color'. the civilian officials could at least take off the blinders created by their preplanned goals for American domination, listen to them, and prepare properly BEFORE the invasion... not stick their fingers in their ears and pretend they were never told about the risk assessment, manpower shortage and equipment necessary until a Corporal publicly asks why his unit is STILL improperly equipped.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

per the ST&A (also 82nd way back when) when i went thru AFF we started my log book at 12 (11 military static line jumps) His opinion was they counted as 'jumps' but i still needed the requisite freefall time to get my A. Didnt bother me much either way, but it did mean that i started jumping with others that much faster... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
