RIP Sir.

Aside from Band of Brothers isn't there a Post WWII movie where he starred as himself? I believe he was also a Medal of Honor recipient.

Truly one of our best has passed.

Be mindful folks, this is the UNCLASSIFIED, LEAKED version. Anyone that has ever held a security clearance above the belt can imagine how much more direct the CLASSIFIED version may be.

Beat me to the punch. Thanks

On this board, I am surprised to be the first to suggest this, but one word Gents, DRAFT! Maybe I am just the first to say it? Seems to have pretty clear intent to me, my only surprise resides in how blatant their attitude is, especially in a time of war when we have so many wounded with serious lon...

Thanks, rangers, both for your prompt responses.

Not to be too curt, but the pawn shop angle is covered, and believe me, if I have a story of any kind of resolution I will be happy to post it here.

Again, thanks.

Friday (16JAN09) night my home was burglarized...quite possibly by someone that had previously been welcomed in my home. Most unfortunate of the consequences of that fact is that short of the printed pictures my wife and I have, virtually all of our home movies, pictures of family living and otherwi...

I was raised under the specter of Chicago politics, after all Illinois politics is "Chicago Politics". I would not ever consider living in the city (or state for that matter) that was once home to me. I still have a lot of extended family and friends living there, but they'll have to visi...

As some of you may/may not know, Chicago is currently striving for the title 'murder capital of the world' due to pervasive gun violence. Thus the City of Chicago decided to host yet another, "Guns for Gifts" program. The obvious flaw being that the do-good pansies taking receivership of t...

Joeboo Well put. I laughed my ass off this morning hearing the news about Gov. BlagoShit. It is about time. By chance do you listen to wmay? If you do I'm not BILL. :P LoL Ranger I don't care, I do listen to WMAY here and there, and my name IS Bill, but I'm not THAT bill. Ranger Jim, Burke's commen...

Tommorrow is his 52nd birthday. I'm a lifelong Springfield, IL resident. I worked for the State of Illinois for 10 years, my grandfather served in the Illinois legislature as Majority Whip in the 50's, and I've worked with/for and met both Gov. Blagojevich, and President-Elect Obama. If he's convict...

I'll tell ya precisely whats wrong, people these days are taking what they have for granted. No one is happy to have what they've got, they've got to have what makes them happy. Right and wrong have been replaced by wrongful (and ignorant) pursuit of one's 'rights'. For crying out loud, I'll bet the...

Recognize ranger, sir, that you are talking about reporters...not civies. Totally different level for potential asshattery.

If you outlaw guns, the only ones with guns will be the outlaws. I've sat, probably like many of you (I'm 30) and wondered, why this seems to be getting more common...looking for common elements among the incidents...here's a few I've noticed anecdotally for what they are worth. 1.
