isn't the navy the smart ones?

don't they simply dump the army onto the hostile beach and take away the boats?

You are a good man. Everyone was expected to serve in the Air Force in my family. I was pretty much disowned the day I joined the Army until I finally took my honorable and came home. Since then most of the younger family now goes into the Army. Sometimes whole families need to grow a pair.

I just thought when you said someone said something they didn't say you should post it.

Where are his personal thoughts? He said lawmakers shouldn't have a secure venue on our dime. That's a fact. Why should Safeway have extra security just because an elected official is there?

Don't the politicians work for us? Imagine if your company was having a meeting and the boss was coming to talk to you. Would he need extra security? Why or why not?

Sentence 2 is the most disturbing to you yet paying for extra security doesn't bother you at all? Do you even understand the concept of govt. officials working FOR the people?

I didn't see him doing that at all. I saw you saying that's what he was doing.

You somehow implied he was using the 2A to justify assasinating a local politician. He never did that. You did.

They are different issues but what you do is insinuate passing laws prohibiting some of the things you listed will put a stop to this kind of crime. It can't. Murder is already illegal. Guns are already illegal to use in the commission of murder. You can't make that "more" illegal yet some of you continue to try by taking away small pieces of our liberty in the name of making us all safer. It is impossible for your "fix" to work.

Why would that send a chill down your spine?

I think if you are interested in something you should take the time to look it up yourself. Quite simply, i know what I read, you came late to the discussion and make outlandish demands out of Offhand ignorance because you feel some solidarity with paul.

and back then we didn't have an air force either.

I was looking to go into the Army or Marines and talked to them both. I had taken that battery of tests to determine what MOS's I am OK for and I went to the center to get my test scores and it showed my I.Q. was too high for the Marines so I had to go Army by default.

[natty bumppo 297]

well yeah.

and back then we didn't have an air force either.

i seem to remember something about that ... i think it was called something like .... the army air corps (usacc) ... and before that it was called the air service

and guys jumped out of perfectly good airplanes too ....

The strange part is we have to volunteer to do it.
