[smeags]

That makes no sense to me.  I give more credit to those who served involuntarily.

This thread dropped before I could get too it.

I know my grandfather, father, brother, and son, the latter who is currently serving appreciate your thanking them. I myself, never served, having a brother killed in Vietnam and being the last surviving son, my mom forbid me going in the military, and if I didn't understand then, I do now. Still, having four generations of my family that have served or are serving makes me do whatever I can to support our troops. I'm fascinated by the military's technology, mostly the naval and aviation parts. I know there are people who hate the military, how they operated and most everything they stand for. Let's just say I'm not one of them and I thank each and every one of our veterans for their service.

Good for you, Jesus Christ.

[DH]

Wait..Shorebird is Jesus Christ?? Holy shtein.

[Diomedes]

Explains a lot doesn't it.

[shorebird]

Good for you, Jesus Christ.

Touch a nerve? Why would you care?

Here we go...

[Sgt PSN]

Here we go...

Uh, yeah.....we got it the first time.

[rjs246]

Ha! Well I obviously posted the wrong link in this thread... let's try that again, shall we?

North Korea is trying to start a war.

[Eagaholic]

Which brings up a question I've always had. Why did they scrap neutron bombs? I seem to remember in the debate some question of ethics in using them as opposed to fission type nuclear weapons, but they'd seem just perfect for N Korea if it ever came to that (recently western experts were all but shocked to see how advanced N Korea's centrifuge capacity is for concentrating uranium).

The carrier my son is on went to see yesterday. With sea trials already scheduled between SK and the U.S., I have to think the GW will again be back in the yellow sea. If anything goes down I just hope that China doesn't get invovled.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

China face palms every time North Korea fargs off. China wants nothing to do with it, it would cost them everything they've built up to this point.
