Thanks. Well aware of them. They're more technical than the average pyro, though they still come across as a bunch of elitists.
Well there we are then. I'm using the wrong terms and I stand corrected.
I hadn't thought about the rewrites/updating of doctrine. I know that sounds stupid because they might have nailed it recently.
The first doctrine manual that comes to my mind is:
US Army (15th...
RTK, its no worries here. I like short and to the point. Will do on the urls.
Stan, I wasn't thinking about 18 wheelers, more like dumpsters and beer trucks that can get away with being large and...
Would it be fair to say that ANFO is the bomb of choice for beginner bombers and truck bombers?
I'm going to go away and read up more now. Thanks again.
No, I'm glad for your input.
Was the Mets stats just for England or worldwide? Are they classified?
I was under the impression that ANFO is fine as long as the blasting cap and booster were...
Sorry about the hassle with megaupload. Yeah, selil, feel free to host it.
Thanks for the heads-up Stan, I'll add that. I was thinking more of terrorism worldwide and using IED and bomb...
Still can't edit.
Last one, with bibliography.
Thanks for your help.
PM sent.
For some reason I can't edit my first post.

Most of the materials is from the 1960s to the 1980s. It ranges from survivalist stuff to technical manuals. It got uploaded into text files by the first BBSs in the 1990s and the information has...
My thesis.
What do you think?
Edit: Whoops. OK, does that work?
Thanks for that.
Liveleak.com is the new and cleaned up Ogrish.com
Gaza's been a dump since at least the 1980s.
First Intifada showed them that violence as a way of life is A-OK.
And they've been doing it ever since, because to do anything else means you're...
* Text font colour makes it hard to read.
* General colours of the whole site make it subdued.
* The mission statement under the title is too wordy.

It seems it doesn't matter how podunk or backwater your group is.
Say the magic word Al-Qaeda and you get news time.
I'm just surprised its taken this long for it to happen in this area.
It probably doesn't matter how many people you send if the plan for after the wars wrong or non existent.
Peace can only come from hardliners, after a sea of blood, sanctioned by a perceived strong America.
It's how the Oslo peace accords came about. With a triumphant America flush from the Gulf War...
I think thats what Huntingdon said in Clash of Civilizations; that its probably all down to demographics rather than anything else. I'll try and remember the page number.
A lot of my thinking on the Russian military comes from 'Chechnya: Tombstone of Russias power' by Anatol Lieven. Beyond its NBC stocks and weapon sales, the Russians aren't exactly a threat to take...

The management level of Al-Qaeda are fundamentalist Islams version of a military industrial complex. They've been fighting since Afghanistan and war is now a way of life.
The foot soldiers...
