    Infantry could do worse than sponsoring Parkour race/contests

    http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=71CC3404E6F3C92AA7411EE51BBE2FEC

    And that is why the current Russia is in Chechnya & Georgia

    Engdahl piece - not credible.

    I was in that region (in Tbilisi) from 2000 to 2005. He weaves a conspiracy originating at RAND with factlets that support his radical-left conspiracy views. There are a lot of declarations in that...

    Nor does it concern me - short away!

    Been out of the US for a while - A bit of catchup.

    Backtracking to the Engdahl piece, I agree in substance with some of his economic material, however, his take on the "color revolutions" is false. Even more than military campaigns, intelligence...

    Yep. We have met the enemy and he is us.

    Napoleon said it, "Corruption has limits. Stupidity has none."

    We are doing the best job we can to overreach and destroy our nation in the process. Because we have this idea in our heads that we...

    non-state as capable as the state

    The underlying question is, "What does a VNSA (violent non-state actor) require in order to be as capable as the state?" A corollary is, "What does it mean to be as capable as the state?" I'd say...
