Re: Blackwater guards will 'face charges'

I personally know a lot of good men that have been in a similar situation (PSD). If they feel threatened, then they have a right to self defense.... The problem here is that there are a number of persons who define "threatened" differently than others. As much as you believe the world is ...

What are the odds the US will elect a Potus that has the sack to effectively seal off the Mexican border? Virtually nill.... I think it will happen within the next decade. I don't know how much of a knee-jerk reaction it will be, but I'm betting that it won't be as preemptive as we might wish. The ...

Re: ,

This is why a surge will happen. If they are not whiling to go the extra mile then end Iraq and surge into Afghanistan quickly. I believe the surge was bound to occur in Astan. There really is no political escape from it, short of walking away and accepting that our efforts at wiping out the Taliba...

The French appear to have slipped up and allowed a conversation between the French and the Brits to be leaked to the press -- or hell, maybe it was purposeful. In any event, while I agree with the concept that the LNs are really the only ones that can fix that country, I also think there is no chanc...

Replace "grenade" with "ugly fat girls", and it will most likely be true (been to Jacksonville, NC...proof that breading with Marines creates generations of "ugly") Growing up in Savannah GA and finishing my mil career at Ft Bragg -- I saw first hand that Marine bases ...

I know the Marines used to condition their folks to dive on grenades from day one in basic. Would you care to enlighten us on what you know about this? Im confused (I know nothing new), are you saying the Marines actually train so that if a grenade lands within your immediate vicinity, they have to...

....the USMC brass claims.... That isn't the case at all. In fact, if you were to read the story -- or even some of the other links provided in this very thread -- you would find that "the USMC brass" is divided at best, with those most relevant and close to the unit of that Marine in tot...

It was Benning phase, you had your kill-class at the LRS farm. Every buddy team got either a rabbit or a chicken and you were given potatoes, carrots and turnips in a #10 can.... In my class it was during mountain phase. I would swear that while the class did get a goat, the chicken and rabbit rati...
