Cheech

wheez's been covered in detail, jizzle tried to buddy up to us at the first QSL's last year when he quickly discovered gen3 and her breasticles. We rescued her quickly, and I think jizz got the point that he's just not welcome anymore.

Rules is rules, you have to post a price. I can read KBB too, I want to know how much YOU are selling it for.

Possibly, but if they get all uppity about it you can just blame me, I'll be the drunk kid. That's a couple of years with a gopro attached to a bar of soap.

Thanks, everyone else.

wouldn't that be the ultimate governance litmus test...

It's bad when you arguably have a year or less to legislate before your schedule is completely co-opted by the reelection campaign. I'd much rather spend this time doing something at least somewhat productive.

So since the Army can't/won't train rapid deploying highly trained infantry units, it sounds like the Marines are destined to continue this role forever since I can't see the Executive giving up the power to deploy force without Congressional approval.

So it sounds to me like it's a training issue. Apart from tradition, I don't see why the Army can't modify it's MOS assignments and training to reflect this change.

I'm already booking tickets for Maury Povich. I suggest both of you hit the gym, you need to get in top chair-throwing shape.

Since my TN trip got postponed, I'm am in. I further decree that this will be my official birthday party, and will probably be one of the few times I get shitfaced.

What role are the current amphibious vehicles not filling that necessitates going completely back to the drawing board? And also, why would you use A10's to soften defenses when there's a perfectly good body of water right next to it? Park a few destroyers and let the guns and guided missiles go to town, you can get a lot more damage done without worrying about losing a plane due to AA fire. I'm putting way too much effort into thinking this through.

and I agree, to a point. We aren't doing much amphibious assaults, especially with the landlocked Afghanistan. Iraq was a possbility, but no longer. At the risk of starting up another inter-DoD shitstorm, it seems to me that the first wave of most invasion forces in modern-day war (Vietnam, Desert Shield/Storm, OIF, OEF) have been Marines, regardless of the terrain or territory. Why is this, is it a readiness issue? Training issue?

yay, a girl! welcome to the site

i love the smell of bigotry in the morning. smells like cornflakes.

I hope so, that fucker stole my hubcaps. tell me where he is so I can break his knees.

because we clearly don't lock enough people up in this country. Nope, 10%, not enough.

I'm pretty sure there was a line stumpy.

General Dynamics is the one developing it now and will lose the contract as a result. It's funny that we really didn't learn much that stuck from WW1, we're still trying to fight the last war; WWII, Cold War, whatever.

I'm sorry that everyone didn't hoist this guy on their shoulders on a daily basis.

If you liked my CBR you'd be PERFECT for this. Definitely comfy-er than the RR.

I stand corrected. You want to run a webcam and network to that bad boy, I'll dispense advice all day long.

You're being difficult by asking for advice from a group of knowledgeable people and not listening to any of it. If you wanted an echo chamber, go post on gixxer.com. I personally find it even more frustrating because (with the exception of a motorcycle, which I didn't buy until MUCH later when I could afford it) I was in your EXACT same position: dumb choices when I was a freshman in college which tanked my credit score for years to come.

if I didn't have $1500 earmarked for Vegas... you take installments? Seriously, someone buy this. Todd and his wife take impeccable care of their stuff.

you've got spunk, kid.
