Breaking: Shots fired inside D.C. naval facility

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Asian chicks, FTW!

If I ever go the K-1 route again, she'll definitely be Asian.

I received the commander's award for excellence after achieving a perfect score on my final exam in the Ground Combat Skills course. Not everyone in the Air Force flies planes, you know.

What they never (formally) taught the Marines and what every Airman got to see first hand was the vulnerabilities of what happens behind the scenes. Can you imagine being in actual "combat" without air support or resupply? If there was nobody moving fuel, food and fresh bodies up the line, the machine would break down.

America's strength as a military fighting unit lies in it's ability to quickly overwhelm the enemy. Once we occupy and hold an area our tolerance for attrition is rather low. We're a pretty soft foe when it comes to drawn out fights. It's logical to assume a breakdown of society here in the US would be dealt with as swiftly as possible but if it wasn't quickly contained, the military itself would just as quickly disperse.

There's more to actual "combat" than just running with a bunch of heavy stuff and yelling "Oooo Rah!"

We should not have any new laws or add more laws to the laws that already don't work.

You might want to check up on some minorities and their involvement in that war. Many were already free men and/or gained their freedom (and pay) through service.

After the war many went on to be quite successful.

exactly. I know of almost no known Armies with vastly superior firepower and numbers that have ever eradicated an entrenched determined guerrilla army.

Yes you're so right. Upon his death Jefferson did indeed free his slaves. Such humanitarians.

Stop watching Mel Gibson colonial movies.

Minorities may have been "freed" but they were not considered citizens like their white counterparts. If it was so great, we wouldn't have needed a civil war.

Revisionist teachings only go so far.

Civil war was no t solely about Slavery...Just for record. You may have been taught that in your gumbermeent text books...Not so

I didn't say it was fought for slavery...but slavery ended being a sticking point.

If minorities were so free then why where there still slaves 70 years after the revolution? I know...free labor.

Darn not you bro..No where did I say blacks were truly free after the civil war. i just pointed out the war was not totally about slavery

Heck where i grew up blacks did not gain their freedom until about the mid 80's or so.

The point I'm making is that even "freed minorities" after the revolutionary war weren't living high on the hog. Not even poor whites were living great. So slim's idea that it was all good after the war for minorities is a pipe dream.

That was my point.

I know I agreed with you

When I was a kid blacks still had separate schools, separate water fountains, separate waiting rooms at the doctor, and could only get farm,pulpwood, janitor type jobs

Yep...went to school in Hazel Green, Alabama for 2 years in the early 70's. It was still segregated. There were only a couple real pricks there, so not too bad. Most people, black and white, were pretty nice.

It's where I learned to hunt and appreciate squirrel and possum stew. Hahaha...

Now that's country!!!

Hey Marv, where you at? I'd like you to explain to me why this killer is getting labeled "crazy" when you said only white people got to use it. The reason for the shooting is supposed to be that's he's black. But I keep hearing them talking about his mental issues. Sort or like Lanza and Holmes. But they're not supposed to do that for black guys right?

Entrenchment is not a small unit tactic, at least not a successful one. The goal of a superior force in non-symmetrical warfare is to fix and destroy the inferior force.

Damn, I was gonna say Romans at Carthage.

The British at Dunkirk.

I was waiting for this to be brought up.

Some brilliant chick on Fox News (surprise surprise) actually suggested that there be a national video game registry because they are clearly so dangerous that there is a need for one.
