    Debate

    Romney is cool as a cucumber. The man is hitting the nail on the head tonight.
  2. When and where did this happen? I'd love to see this movie.....
  3. I like this http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/8903/img3512qy.jpg And http://www.streetfx.com.au/product_images/miscellaneous/makingfamily1.jpg
  4. It's a purely defensive gun, that was its purpose in the market. It's an entry level handgun, and that's it. Take it for what it is, save the money for an M&P if you want a decent trigger.
  5. Since when you get a firearm?
  6. If Ahmad Shah Massoud was still alive, Afghanistan would not be in the situation it is in now. Nor would we have any issues with Afghanistan. Just an FYI.
  7. I hear he's starting another Crusade to the Middle East.
  8. Spending a few years between Iraq and Trashcanistan, I have a small insight I picked up: - We are the root of evil in the world. - We are not Muslim, nor to we adhere to Muslim beliefs. - Being non-Muslim on Muslim soil, boils the blood of other Muslims. - Western ideas scare them and are misunderstood. - They believe we live in sin - As much as Islam is a "religion", it is more of a true culture/lifestyle. It's not the point of being devout, it's all they know. - We are the opposite of all they know and believe. We do not conduct ourselves by religion. - They think we want to make the Middle East like America. If I were to sum a small part up, from my own experiences with the people, they're too ignorant to know reality. Most are not educated, and only know what they are told. As they believe, a fellow Muslim wouldn't lie to another Muslim ( that made things interesting). Propaganda is an easily utilized tool to those that can't read or write either. Clerics/Imam's and village elders become like Kings to peasants. Their words and teachings are what they'll live by. Does all the Middle East believe this? Hell no. Plenty of areas I've been in love us and helped us. Even if the "Radical Muslims" are considered a minority, they pose a large threat. It's enough of a threat and danger to silence a majority. I'm probably forgetting a few things, but I think the basics were covered.
  9. I agree. The lack of security bothers me, especially in that neck of the woods. Armor group has taken quite a few embassy contracts world wide to fulfill that mission. Shocked there weren't a few armed Americans to cover Ambassador Stevens.
  10. Reminds me of how Ahmad Shah Massoud was taken out by AQ. AQ has been sharpening their assassination techniques. If it was really a complex attack, it smells of some Al-Qaeda influence to it. Thus, given my precision strike comment. No need to kill a village for one soul.
  11. Unanswered means, why was there not amble security at any of these sites. I'd rather a strike we make be similar in fashion to one our Special Forces carried out in Syria circa 2008 (if that were to even happen). A downright shame that a delegate from the United States was killed over a movie. Especially given his support of Libya.
  12. Retaliation for such acts require a surgeon like precision a select few can bring to the table. The fact that American sovereign soil was encroached upon unanswered, blows my mind.
  13. Task Force 121 did the take down, but my brigade, 1st Brigade 4th Infantry Division got the credit. Kept the SF boys out of the light and gave our Brigade Commander the credit for all the other stuff everyone did. Our Brigade set up a huge outer security cordon, and helped put the squeeze on him (Sadam). My platoon's role was quite small and insignificant, but later I heard they were trying to escape by boat. Who knows, maybe my platoon could've had a bigger hand in history.
  14. Decemer 13, 2003 (Operation Red Dawn) - Young Army PFC in Tikrit, Iraq with a radio on my back, locked n' loaded M16A4 with a brand new thermal scope not seen by many. We were tasked to provide an LP/OP on the side of the Tigris River until further notice. Many hours surrounded by muddy shit water, we were eventually told to engage anything and everything that came down the river. A few more hours past, and we broke down to exfill the area. After returning around sometime when the sun came up, we finally got to get a few hours of sleep. A good hour or so into our much needed rack time we were awakened by cheers of Sadam's capture. Little did we know that we were part of what was known as Operation Red Dawn. Though we played a small part in our Brigade's operation, we then understood why the hell we we're stuck in that wet, muddy shit hole all night. (It was my 20th Birthday to boot)
  15. I hope America never forgets that day, nor do we ever let down our guard.
  16. Law or no law, if you feel your life is being threatened, utilize what you feel necessary. Try fighting with a seat belt on inside your vehicle and see how that works.
  17. I'm in line with 50% of the voters in Texas.
