Thanks for your kind remarks. When we were really young officers I suppose much of our duties and responsibilities were "added on" without consideration as to whether we could swim with them all, or not. Lucily for me I had a first class Master Sergeant, USAF, since deceased, as well as a...

I was a early 20s Second then First Lieutenant, filling a Lt. Colonel, USAF billet as Commander, Det. 2, 6937th Communications Group with offices inside the US Embassy. My working title was "USAF Liaison Officer" and I was responsible for movement of all personnel and material up country and...

Yes, I do have some slides and a few color snap shots around. Will look for them and post what I can next week, if possible. Cheers. Unhappily there is lots of truth to terrorists inside Karachi in recent years (plural). During 2013 Taliban in Karachi brazenly shot their way into the...

Since 1963-65 when I was stationed in Karachi the same very poor parts of Karachi remain the hotbeds of extremists and revolutionaries. However, matters are worse in 2014 in that the size and firepower and armored vehicles of the Karachi Police Dept. and Rangers have not kept pace with the...

Everyone's comments are welcome. My posting of a unique one of a kind plane was just that, a unique plane of immense size. On a smaller scale, the USAF has ended production of the C-17 short landing and take off cargo and troop carrier, whose "need justification team" I sat on at Wright...

India indeed has almost as large a Muslim population as does all of modern day Pakistan. Good point, AjmalPathan.

http://gelio.livejournal.com/193025.html Gelio (Степанов Слава) - An-225 Mriya is the world’s largest aircraft (English version) You may have to copy and paste to open. With six jet engines this is one "whale" of a aircraft! It has 32 wheels...which reminds me of when I had just graduated...

Some here choose to omit/want to omit Indonesia as Muslim, and overlook large Muslim population in SW China, also. It is unusual for some here to try to exclude Asiatic Muslims, while touting Iran, which is a non-Arab Muslim national population. AS in my Christianity...Islam, too, has...

Even your Prophet Muhammad PBUH descends in common from Abraham, and as you note then descends from Ishmael's line. Note this part of the Book of Genesis quotes I used today: "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto three at this time in the next year." This...

Thanks for your definition. I referred to all nations which have a large Muslim minority, second only to whatever the majority popullation is or may be. ASIDE: Arabs and Jews are both Semitic in origin, all descended from Abraham, a Jew. The two different Mothers' for Abraham's sons, Ishmael...

It is snowing heavily right now here in the USA from SE up the East Coast and as far north now as Boston. We also have family in the mountains of inland Virginia where about a foot of new snow is now falling. I am in Birmingham, snowing heavily. Have family in Atlanta, also very heavy snow...

US/we don't need land bases to use drones. You use any US Navy vessel to launch drones from. Drones can be in air dropped, too. With all politeness meant this article does not think "outside the box" enough to realize these options for continued drone use.

Comment: This is extraordinarily well written, well thought out. Well done. A "kibitz" if I may. Both Lebanon and Syria have many years longer association under and inside the former French Colonial Empire than they have years as so-named and borders defined nations today. Iran's history was...

Since I started this thread let me offer other background general info which may be of interest to some readers here. The United Nations being a focus of worldwide efforts at peace vs. warlike existence, using the Middle East friction as a specific example here, is built in Manhattan, New York...

It is sad and typical of failing human and mankind communications when some folks here keep seeking rudeness and one upmanship to find or create "competitive" faith or hidden negative meaning or purpose which isn't there. Since I have started a new thread last night on the topic of air rights...

It is a shame that since President Truman in 1947 signed off on recognition of Israel, while at the same time the UN Resolution creating both Palestine and Israel, was rejected by then in power nations such as the old Egyptian regime (now in 2014 recognize Israel); Jordan (now in 2014 recognize...

I will be happy to start a new thread. I do not appreciate your rude remarks, however. Totally unnecessary.

The topic is how to promote peace with a two state solution in order to de-escalate the arms race in the Middle East, to include the current efforts by Israel for better defense systems. Sticking to that subject I agree with fully. Thanks for your comment.

You have chosen to make something out of what I said that I didn't say. And your remarks are incorrect as to what Jews and Muslims alike believe about Jesus. Both faiths recognize Jesus as a prophet. The Islamic Holy Koran even has the Book of Mary as one of it's chapters, as you should know...
