I have no need to defend my miltary credentials in this forum. Your name-calling and ad hominem attacks make that goal [constructive discussion] impossible. Combat in real life and combat on TV are apples and oranges.

Shout it out, Tackleberry. "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.....and so forth" For some reason.....now, I have no problem envisioning you being the guy, making E3 and E4s do pushups, after 24hr missions because their top button is undone. |

I've been watching Generation Kill, and can't say I'm all that impressed. It's sort of like Band of Brothers with Tourette's Syndrome, only with no interesting characters or class. I think I still have the last two episodes on the DVR but don't even know if I'll bother watching them.

YOU are the one who called us all lesser people. You want to apologize for that, maybe we can talk, and I can explain what actually being discussed, since you have no clue.

I shot the tail light out of a humvee 20 or 30 yards away all the way through the opposite door of a GP medium (tent) with a wrap around slingshot and a tobasco bottle from an MRE. Beat that.

By all accounts it's hewing close to the source material with a shitload of input from those individuals at liberty to do so.

I have the answer "why"? Diversion tactics. It's because the Chiefs at one point in time, had hope. I don't think anyone on this board or anyone knowledgeable about sports think the Chiefs have a chance at winning anything of importance this year. NO SB, no playoffs......if that changes, so will the message board.

http://www.nationaljournal.com/congr...80812_5175.php In its report, CBO said there are now more civilian workers than U.S. military personnel in the Iraq, where American forces now number about 144,000 troops. CBO officials estimated that more than 190,000 contract personnel were in the Iraq theater, 160,000 of them in Iraq, with the rest in nearby countries. About 20 percent of the contract employees were Americans, CBO said. The report, requested by the Senate Budget Committee, did not list the names of the major contractors but said they number in the hundreds. CBO officials compared the use of civilians during past wars and found that the 1-to-1 ratio of contract personnel to U.S. troops in Iraq is higher than the ratio in other major U.S. military conflicts, with the exception of the Balkans in the 1990s when there were only about 20,000 military personnel and the same number of contractors. The ratio during World War II was one contractor to 24 U.S. service personnel. In Vietnam, it was 1-to-5. |

Perhaps it's not fair to judge this against Band of Brothers. Maybe the episodes I haven't seen yet are better. I just don't care for it. |
