Cowards? We all have our own ideas on what cowards are. It must be wonderful to sit on your judge thrones, eh? My oldest brother was killed when he was 28, and there none that would've met him, that would've called him a coward. My other brother has recently survived cancer and none would call him a coward either. </TABL

In thinking bout these two deserters....I remembered a quote I posted while back in one of my weekly quotes...... "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has

They are now actively trying to get these people back and maybe once they do things will be a bit more stable.

I disagree with your appleasement term though. The Spanish government doing what 90% of it's population wants becuase it spent the past 6 months campaigning on this issue is not appleasement. It's democracy in action. Was the US the withdrawal from Vietnam an appleasement? In fact it is appeasement....the popular party was predicted to win in every poll taken including several done just a few days prior to the Madrid bombing.....and since the

Recently....in a very non-DOD approach, the Department of the Army has given the green-light to transfer 4 of the 5 remaining prototypes of the M8 Armored Gun System (AGS) to the 82nd after an Operational Needs Statement from the 18th Airborne Corps (of which the 82nd is part of) at Fort Bragg was 'kicked' upstairs to Army Forces Command that spelled out the the divi

"Those who now talk about the need for "Iron-clad proof" are talking election year nonsense when it comes to national survival.
