    I am sorry if you felt offended in some way by my comment, and I sincerely regret it.

    It intended to be a critic, as you rightly assumed; but on the form, not the content which I do not question...

    Communication and image.

    This Colonel seems to be a prepossessing person.

    By the way, is there any department within the DoD which would be in charge of selecting and training officers publicly expressing themselves about...

    Glad to learn that B-52's will not go to junkyard soon. For this leaves me some chances to see one taking off once in my life. :)

    The main reasons justifying the evolution toward the 223 ammo were that combat ranges had significantly shortened from WWII on and that a man could carry about 180 rounds of .223 instead of an...

    Marc,
    I would like to express my opinion about what you said on the United States and on the notion of national interest since I have had the sentiment that things don’t seem to be as clear as you...

    In my own opinion, this one added to the list of the funniest threads of the day; just before "Jobs in Virginia" was posted.

    At this point, may I suggest an annual prize?

    Since I found your question as original as amusing I tried myself on it in introducing a bit of humor in my reflection.

    Marc,
    it’s all right. I didn’t enquire on the way he professes anthropology; I do not have the required academic background for, so far.

    Instead, and when I said patterns, I was looking at the...

    Nice shot!

    Isn't this idea what some would call suicide attack?

    A "cultural suicide attack" in that case.
