[OT] Nothing Learned From History by
stop spam
From a blog I frequent... interesting parallel, perhaps, especially if
you compare the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Kuwait with Hitler's
pre-1939 maneuvering?
If, in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt would have invaded Germany, captured
Hitler, neutralized the Nazi party, and dismantled the...

Russian Military Technology by
Alejandro Magno
Napoleon and Hitler tought they could defeat Mother Russia. They said
Mother Russia was a total mess.
Mother Russia is 1,500 years old and she has never been defeated.
America is like 230 years old, America has a lot of learning to do.
America has never been invaded in the same scale Mother...

General Patton on Lieutenant Kerry by
S. Sampson
In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly
given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many
protests. New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote in September
2002 that the senator invited him to view 40 minutes of films Kerry
made depicting his war...

fighter pilot hours? by
Cub Driver
I fly about 50 hours a year and wish I could do more, just to stay in
the groove.
Could I have stayed current in a jet fighter, flying about 140 hours a
year?
Thanks!
all the best -- Dan Ford

Area bombing is not a dirty word. by
ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the
original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50)
mission
over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it
blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...

Shot at/Shot back by
Bob McKellar
We keep bringing up presidents/candidates getting shot at (
"We" includes me, I confess ). But today a related issue
popped into my head.
After all the discussion of Kerry's VN history, I wondered
if we have had any other recent ( last 75 years or so )
presidents or major contenders who have...

Instructors: is no combat better? by

versus those who have not, 100% of the replies were in favor of instructors who

initially been reported to have weathered the storm intact which is what

Damn good post.
France actually does help the US - the only non-US planes to drop bombs in
Afghanistan were French, and the US now uses a French base in Djibouti. The
difference between the french and the Brits is that France offers help on
its own terms, while the Brits are basically...

PROOF THAT NEOCONS ARE STUPID by

The vast majority of university professors and scholars are Democratic
liberals. Very few are neocons. The neocons just can't make the cut into higher
education.
They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates.
