Umm, how do you navigate this site? The only options I see are "Home, Contact, " and "Contribute".

Word. What TCO said.

USA!

But certainly middle class Europeans are probably the best experts in the world on the horrors of war and when force should and should not be used.

I seek their counsel for they are the great sages.

I couldn't stand to watch this horror more than 10 seconds. Is there any moment where you actually see soldiers doing a soldier's job?

Negative. I spent 10 minutes watching the whole thing, waiting for some-sort of indication of parody appearing in the video clip. Sadly, there weren't any.

Don't worry. We're heading for another civil war.

Yeah, a continent that has hosted the last two (and only two) "World Wars" doesn't know anything about war...yeah, a continent that has been blasting each others' guts out for the last 1000 years...the same continent that had all those bloody revolutions (like the French one)...and in the last 50 years saw its division between US pawns and Soviet pawns.

Yeah, I think they don't know much about war either

Apparently he and Imran met each other during the holidays and had a good time.

If that's not an indicator of the imminent breakdown of the utter fabric of our society, I don't know what is.

I find "hosted" a very amusing word choice. I laughed outloud at work...bringing unwanted attention my direction from co-workers. Don't want people seeing me on the 'Poly site when I should be working....

What, did he say that .

Anyway, I think what was worse is that I reveled in the fact that I have a more commie-type job than he does .

And it is amusing, I work at the Department of Labor, and EVERYONE here (who are mostly Democrats) usually trust the word of the employer over the employees because the employees who call have lied to us so often .

A soldier's job, in a real military force (so that excludes a lot of countries) is to deter aggression. Killing the other guy and breaking stuff may be a part of that job, but you also have people like Wittlich who did his 20 years in the US Army, left as an E7, and did not participate in combat operations during that time. It's all soldiering, not just the rare moments (over the entire scope of your time in uniform) when you directly engage and kill the enemy.

How many of 'em are still around that dealt with WW2 and earlier? The cold war thing was mostly crap for whiners.

That's because scammers always try and cheat the system, while the people who genuinely need the help are usually to proud or ashamed to get it (or simply don't know the services exist). Public aid's that way too.
