No way in hell I trust them either, but doing what I've been doing for the last 15 yrs, I have a pretty good read on people and their non-verbals. This young woman just watched her husband allegedly get shot in the head, she said she kept hearing God tell her she had to leave, they can't find the body, and all this in an interview within a few days of his death, as she kept looking down at the floor, in between what seemed like an effort to sob a little.

Typically if something this traumatic happens, and the "surviving" party is so willing to give an interview, or help in the search, they're trying to garner sympathy and compassion to help bolster their story, which in most cases, is a fabrication.

I'm not saying she's lying, I'm just saying I believe there's something more to this than she's letting on. Money? Another lover? Insurance?

Google the interview and tell me what you think about her actions/non-verbals.


I bow to your expertise on this one. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but my BS meter hit about a 9 when I was watching her eye movements.

They would probably just miss and bomb the local McDonalds.


Never McDonalds. Maybe Taco Bell or Karim's Kebab House. But USAF regulations and ROE's require immediate disengagement and wave-off once the Golden Arches are spotted. Really. Ask your JTAC. :roll:

You're using the right BB code for images - it shows when I quoted your post. Getting the image's URL depends on what browser you're using. If you're using Chrome, for example, just right click on the image and select "copy image url." Paste it into your post, highlight it and click the Img button above the posting space.

If you're using Internet Explorer, it takes a couple extra steps. Right click on the image, select properties and then highlight and copy the URL for the image. Use the Img button to complete the process.

Proper etiquette question;

Is it proper for a non-Ranger such as myself to greet a Ranger with "RLTW"? I am guessing the answer is no, since if it was me on the other side, I would immediately inquire if you were a Ranger?

Ran into a guy from 1st Battalion today while I was getting coffee and this vexed me a bit.

Not sure I want to say "Nice legs" to a Ranger holding Starbucks coffee that is about 1 degree below boiling point. Maybe I will just stick with Hello. :roll:

" RANGER POLICE "


Stopped a 17 year old kid tonight for speeding, 81 M.P.H. in a 60 zone. Kid spots my Ranger Scroll & Tab on the back of my ticket book and says, " Oh, you're a Ranger ? Still on active duty ? "

:shock:

I reply, " Yeah, Rangers help out the local police whenever we can " and walk away. 8)

Ya can't fix stupid.
