این خبر را شنیده ام بدباختانه
Not that anyone asked my opinion, but I'm going to give it anyway...
Agreed, this is the most disturbing aspect of the story to me, especially because it was done in this same command (different...
It's easy to identify shortcomings after the fact. Whether collection assets were focused on the "wrong" target or simply "the not as good" target should be considered. Using their limited judgment,...
I don't know how relevant to the discussion this is, or whether it will change any opinions, but a couple weeks ago here on the Monterey Peninsula we had a captain (non-Navy type) who managed to...
What's to reconsider? We exported those intentionally.
Sir,
How do you propose the US go about that in this situation? It seems to me that any overtures on the part of the US towards a new government would be too little, too late.

Scenes From Egypt's Would-Be Revolution
There are some brigade staffs that have deployed and have been pretty unanimously determined to be biased, ticket-punching, unresponsive, and out-of-the-loop. That's certainly not universal but when...
Let's say at the age of 16 I shoot someone, does my minor status prevent the government from jailing and punishing me?
Ability to do something and likeliness to do it are two entirely different...
I specifically have in mind young females having children at 15/16/17, etc., who refuse to give up children for adoption. We let people who we wouldn't allow into any other position of resposibility...

1. Yes.
2. No.
We should definitely be dealing with these sorts of organizations supplying drugs with law enforcement and possibly even military means for those across the border. But if the real bad guys are...
I am very much a fan of the OGs. I say bring them back -- it would solve all of this nonsense.
Government brainwashing won't do it. We have, in this country, a problem that is literally increasing exponentially from generation to generation. Part of the problem is genetic but the majority of...
I pretty much agree with everything COL Jones said and would go on to say that the American battlespace owners should only be supporting the ETTs/PMTs/ODAs/etc. who would be permanently embedded...
If the wrong tool is being used, success won't come with another 100,000 or 1,000,000 of them. We need to revisit how and why we are using the ANSF before we continue churning out more.
Sorry, Ken. 91bravojoe -- ignore my post.
You can proof text all day, but you still haven't addressed the widely-reported description of the shooter as a leftist and deeply disturbed -- beyond the reach of any particular political rhetoric....
Maybe one of the mods can amend the title of the thread:
Man linked to Giffords shooting called 'very disturbed'
Thank God.
Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona congresswoman, shot in Tucson
This is a horrible tragedy.
Don't know if this has been posted before or is in the right thread -- just happened across this on YouTube. Might be of interest to some folks.
Rhodesia Unafraid (Part 1)
Thanks -- my avatar is a Rhodie. You probably have seen the picture before -- it's him sitting on top of a vehicle and a couple guys hanging out below.

I really like your last point, and your other points are so true as well.
To add on to your last point, I would say two things:
1. Don't get defensive when the participants invariably point out...
