I thought COD4 was very lovely but the single player game is a bit lacking. No cover system, none of the rank stuff, scripted points you have to hit that take you out of suspension of disbelief etc.. By all accounts including yours the multi-player is a gem though.

I wonder if anyone would be held responsible for allowing this to happen? You utterly missed the point of that example. Totally. The popint is that the driver pays the price. Not only does he get fucked in civil court, but he also pays criminal penalties for his actions. because he was willfully ignorant he goes to prison. I

I really wish that the real criminals here -- the big mortgage companies and mortgage brokers -- were going to pay a much stiffer penalty and price for their hands in this mess. I agree to a point. The problem here was a system, the packaging and selling of risk. That will be the topic for another article sometime soon.

I remember reading about this some time ago when there was an investigation into how the initial "seed money" had been spent. Of course no records have been kept and large chucnks of it went missing at the same time his close associates were spending cash from no apparent source. Pretty stinky deal all around. It is only a matter of time before he is the mayor of some CA city.

My 2 cents. If we want to start considering medical separations as contract fulfillment, then we need to change the terms of enlistment to reflect that. As it stands the terms of enlistment don't promise it. The terms for bonii are clear : they are for the totality of time served on the contract. Dont serve the time, don't keep the money. My personal feelings are tat if a soldier is medically chaptered for something resulting from armed conflict (not slipping in the gym at Bal

While I hesitate to question your time machine I think it is the "for a tiny fee" that will continue to trip up endeavors like this. Business types dislike aiming for ecomonies of scale when the short term perceived "pay-off" could be be larger by charging higher fees. Of course, the endeavor fails at that point and that short-term payoff never materializes. This is why NBC stupidly decides it would rather foot the whole bill for a poorly designed video download servic

50 years would be abargain occupation. Benn in Korea/Japan longer than that and they didn't have half the social/ethnic issues that one suburb of Fallujah has. Your estimation of the casualty figures is spot on. There was a report last week showing that the military lost more lives in an equivalent length chunk of the 80's when we had no large scale ops ongoing at all.

By voicing their opinions when they return (they aren't permitted to when they serve), are they not supporting themselves? Funny, I seem to recall expressing myself quite regularly even from within a combat zone. Additionally our re-up rate was far larger in Iraq than when we were in garrison. Soldiers didn't (and don't) want to sit on their asses in the States, they would rather be in Iraq or Afghanistan. If they would have let me stay

This is also an argument unique to this Administration in scope Oh come now... That is certainly not unique to this administraion. Just a tiny bit of research will show that. FDR interned innocents based on racial profiling, Lincoln suspended habeus corpus in order to throw dissenting reporters into prison, and Truman presided over both the McCarthy era hearings and the wholesale intentional bombing of civilian targets. Truly you

EL thought she didn't like the Hasidic beard look either until I shaved the thing off last Christmas. Then she decided that she liked me better fully overgrown. Took me months to get a proper flavor-saver back on my chin. Trust me Mason, the beard's the thing.

A lot of games have implemented this and I enjoy the feature but I am a rules munchkin. This sort of encourages abusive min/maxing where you take as many negatives as possible in areas you had no intention of pursuing in the first place. Don't ever negotiate? Take as many Diplomatic "handicaps" as possible. It won't make any difference anyway.
