dmp said:hey! that's what I do now
Darwins Friend said:Hmmmm kicked the living shit out of a pencil. Interesting. JUST KIDDING!
(it's all important)
GotZoom said:Yes it is.
I suppose I deserved the joking remark after my comment about repairing airplane engines.
Trust me though....my involvement did not involve pencils.
Darwins Friend said:Watching a cruise missile travel 500 nautical miles, after leaving the tube from a submarine and boosted by a Harpoon lifter - to land within 3 meters of its designated target - I can easily understand, and respect that.
GotZoom said:But now that you told me, do you have to kill me?
GotZoom said:Been there, planned that, done that.
And to this, I will agree agree with you.
Darwins Friend said:I fully understand that to take control, real control - over a piece of real estate and a group of folks, youre forced to put boots on the ground. Thats a given, but it absolutely breaks my heart to see these kids blown up in close proximity to supposed peaceful civilians. What I mean to say by this is that we should at least double the spending on our high technology for the combat theater - to lesson that effect on our best.
Setting comfortably on a flat-top for most of my career, I can only guess what real soldiers have to face - and the less they have to carry and the better they can be support should be our number one priority - if were going to stay in the business of real ass-kicking.

Since the beginning of American history, the US has wanted to give the gift of democracy to everyone.
Darwins Friend said:Can the same be said about the Korean Conflict?
onthefence said:I vaguely referenced Korea and Vietnam with "stopping the spread of communism." I simply meant that the President has taken us back to the ideals of our forefathers by taking the gift of democracy to those that need it. If this is too difficult for you to grasp, then go back and read a history book. I know its been like 186 years since you were in school.
Darwins Friend said:And that was the official reason we went to Korea, or the real reason?
Regarding my ability to grasp - I can only rely on my actual experiences during those conflicts. Please feel free to educate.
