The lack of proper fire assets such as artillery would have restricted them to intel gathering and targets of oppertunity roles.

General, Sir, I've got caught off guard with 3 and 6. Then it occurred to me. No radio man. They were indeed one capable bunch.

While I do not doubt Pakistan had troops in Afghanistan (so did every enemy of the USSR), I doubt that they were at the battalion level. That's too identifiable (and too easily targetted). More likely, in keeping with SOF ops, in brick (4 man teams) to a maximun of platoon (30-40 men)

This is one of those never overdo coming down on the Sgts stories. My buddy and I were at the Battle School during one of those exercises. One of those 32 hour days and 5 minute sleeps and Murphy showing his head everywhere. We were supposed to be trucked to our new location and catch 2 hours of...

They're thrust into the air via an air bubble from under the surface. After they break the surface of the water is when they ignite their engines; not before; avoiding the shifting effect.

I counted 20 craters where Hezbolla positions USED to be. Casualties are light my foot.

I don't want to degrade the General but you guys do know that Jerry Lewis got the same award.

Bill Clinton? Give me a break. The man who started the Kosovo War to divert attention from his pecker? I have news for you. The US was not part of UNPROFOR. In fact, they were part of the problem, supplying the Croats with intel and weapons.

That is simply whole bunch of bull. I was there with UNPROFOR and the truth of the matter is that the Muslims were on the losing side and we were not about to fight their war for them. I suggest you read up on the Vance-Owen plan and why it failed and it has nothing to do with not wanting a...

92FS, former USArmy stock. Not really a great gun but I've gotten so used to its quirks that I rather not go through the process again though I have shot others. I was qualified for the SiG in the Army but found that gun a bit too big for my hands.

Sid, In case you do not know, there is also a strong gun culture in Canada. It's hidden and obscure but go 20 miles out of any city and there's not one farm that does not have guns and I mean guns as in plural. Aside from my .30-06, I have a 12 guage that I use around my hobby farm, from...

Corrections: It is the 2nd Amendment, not the 4th. From http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/bcft04.htm From http://www.newsbatch.com/guncontrol.htm Yep, Moore is wrong.

Name one one Legislature who's going to challenge the 4th Admendment. As for gun laws, the Americans have more gun laws than any other country on earth ranging for municipal to state to federal. Tougher gun laws ain't going to change anything. This issue is an American domestic issue and you...

That is your pre-orgative but know that Bowling for Concubine is openned to challenge by the Americans themselves. Ultimately, it is their decision and their decision is that Moore is wrong and that they're keeping their guns.

As compared to the left-wing nut Moore? I don't believe facism anymore than I do communism.

I am indeed speaking about Bowling for Concubine. The one thing about Moore is that he takes the facts and then spins it. Nothing he states in either film is a lie and is all fact but almost ALL are taken out of context. Here is the one rebuttal to his film...

I can tear apart everything Moore did, including misrepresentation of the people he interviewed. He's being sued by veterans for taking their comments out of context and inserting them into anti-right wing consiparcy. He's a damned good propagandist but as a documentarian, I find more truth in a...

Who decides who's allowed to have guns and who is not? The government? The very government elected by the people who wants guns? Michael Moore is the best propagandist in the world.

No! The sooner Pakistan realizes that nuclear weapons will not stop an Indian onslaught, the sooner you will have realistic expectations. [Mod Edit: Mind the language] keep ignoring the Cold War Lessons!
