  1. While I was deployed to Iraq our rules of engagement strictly forbid warning shots. You also did not shoot to wound, only engage to kill.
  2. Nice! I just picked up a Ruger M77 Mark II .223, not brand new but in excellent condition. I purchased it from my dad with Scope for 400$.
  3. Al Asad, Rawah and Mosul. Most of my time was spent out west, but I did venture into Baghdad some.
  4. when I was there in 05-06 they found the sarin gas rounds, that made for stricter regs on the MOPP gear, fun times...
  5. http://articles.cnn.com/2008-01-27/us/saddam.cbs_1_saddam-hussein-wmd-fbi-agent?_s=PM:US http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/27/60-minutes-report-saddam-_n_83512.html http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3390 There were no WMD's, only the building blocks for them, he wanted the world to think he had more power then what he was really holding. It was a chess move that he did not think we would call him out on, and we did.
  6. I win, I found one, eff work I'm going home now and drinking
  7. Sold, got 4,500 for it
  8. I'm 5'9" and wanted to be able to sit flat footed at lights.
  9. I would be willing to accept 4,500 right now, no less.
  10. bump, I'm willing to negotiate I need to sell this thing.
  11. Dropped price to 5,000 to sell quicker
  12. And I'm not defending him, just pointing out that we all do the same thing on some level.
  13. So I assume that you have never broken a traffic law on your ZX-10R, and if you did, or someone that you ride with does, you will stop and call the local law enforcement to report it? You know the laws are there, you know what they are and how to abide by them, but I assume that you don’t always adhere to them or report it when you break them. So in turn you are setting up anyone that you ride with that may break a traffic law for future failure, and should come clean now and report them all, or understand that they make their own choices and wait until they get caught on their own. By calling JT a hypocrite you would give up the name of a fellow rider to law enforcement if asked about them breaking a law, or would you simply not comment and hope no one got caught? Not exactly a 1 for 1 analogy but close enough.
  14. I have been taking my 10 year old daughter on rides since she was 8. She must follow the same gear rules that I do, regardless of the heat it includes jacket, helmet, gloves, and jeans at a minimum. She loves it everytime we go out, and I stick to local and back roads, no freeway.
  15. My wife has never complained about it, and the heat is really not noticable when you have all of the heat coming off the engine into your face lol.
  16. I think this is perfect for you http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=77109
  17. bump, still trying to sell it.
  18. -7,900 Miles -BMC Racing filter -Black/Black -Fender Eliminator -Lowered 1in (because I'm short) Absolutely nothing wrong with this bike, it looks great and runs great. It has a few small scratches on the lower portion of the right side faring, you have to be right up on it to see them, and a couple scratches on the mirrors from bumping the doorway on the way in and out of the house. It has never been laid down and always kept indoors. I'm asking $5,000 for it so that I can restore my Jeep. I have not listed it on Craigslist yet, I figure I would put it here first.
  19. Well for one I have served in a supporting role on multiple teams with ODA’s, so I kind of know what “extent” it does take for operations like this to be conducted. The teams may not know the exact identity of the target until the final moments of planning but are given the freedom to plan their portion of the operation around that HVT (high value target). Sure they are only a portion of the planning but you blanket stated that “SEAL teams are about as involved in the planning as the hijackers were.” This is correct to some extent that the hijackers planned and executed their portion of the attacks. However that does not fit the bill with our SF community, they are allowed more free reign over their portions of the operations, and their input on the overall scope and direction is valued based on the experience.
  20. I haven’t posted here in a while but could not let this go. The Special Forces community is actually very involved in all stages of their operations, from planning to execution. So comparing them to the 9/11 hijackers is moot. Bush and Obama both deserve some credit, the advisors and intel communities of both presidents deserve way more credit than either have been given. The operation is a sum of all parts, not just the bottom or top rung.
  21. You coming in this weekend?

  22. I figure I can push her and run
  23. ugh ready to leave :)
