The reaction over Benghazi has made the gov't even more risk averse than it was. I am sorry that those folks in Benghazi died but they knew the risks of their job and where they were operating, I really wish people would make as big a deal out of an 18 year old e-1 being killed in Afg as they did a...

Did either of you guys live through the 70's? If we made it out of that decade with a spine we can make it out of this mess! But you are free to head to Canada whenever you feel like quitting. One of the things that let us survive the 70s was the American public. Reagan won in a landslide. Today a ...

Mexican Revolution all over again. History repeating itself, though this time it isn't to fix a government, but to keep drugs flowing. Back in the early 1900s former American soldiers also went south to earn a profit.

Hmmm... all of our computers in JROTC are Lenovo

I like you so much, sometimes I rub my testicles all over your belongings while you sleep. I hope that's cool.

I just re-read the Echo 51st guy's post...His team "Opted NOT to jump in due to the high risk", I guess they were pussies! Who would ever opt out of a combat jump because of high risk? :shock: That has got to be a new one. Every single one is high risk. Going into Grenada we rigged inflig...
