Re: My RHOF Acceptance Speech, 2011

As the old saying goes, "Meets Expectations" - since everything Gary does is outstanding, he has met expectations yet again with another outstanding example of excellence.

The powers-that-be ought to draft him for high political office.

Re: SF training in the 1960's

1960's? Didn't see the dates on that film, but judging by the old patrol caps, brass buckles, bright patches, etc. that had to be early 60s (pre-Johnson admin) at the latest, maybe the Kennedy era. That stuff was long gone by my time, the late 60s. And the judo/karate stuff? Never saw it, but maybe ...

Re: New Guy, Sean.

I believe this may be the longest attempt at joining the army that I've ever seen. If it works out good for you for being so persistent. I fear I'll be dead of old age before this thread runs its course, but If you ever do get in and then fail because you're still not in shape and half stepping on ...

Re: My Only allowed basic Question Whilst I post on this sit

Mr. Wonderful - 1. STFU 2. Read more on the public forums before asking questions. 3. Do not waste our time - do not pass go, go directly to the Marines and enlist. Right off the bus, a Marine DI will accomplish more adjustment of your perspective in a couple of hours than all the boring useless wee...

Re: North Korea has lost internet

According to our in-house IT guy, NK has a total of just over 1000 IP addresses, less than we have in my county with a population of 15,000.
Most of those are probably the little fat guy's family and some gov't. officials. Wonder how much of the traffic is porno for Kim Jong Chubby?

I won't argue with your definition.

Re: Now Another Idiot Says The CIA Should Apologize

If a person practices ethical relativism there is no right or wrong, merely a world of muted grey tones. My stance is simple and easily stated, torture is torture and torture is wrong. From my perspective, what is accepted as a definition of "torture"? Do sleep deprivation, food deprivati...

I cannot give accurate numbers, but based on the demonstrations I saw and the media coverage at the time, a great many Americans supported the maltreatment of US POWs held by NVN.

Re: Now Another Idiot Says The CIA Should Apologize

Based on the 'findings' of that report, I know I suffered worse treatment during SFOC and RS - by the lib Dems definitions, SOF training would be classified as "torture".

Total clownshoes.
