The OFF moderators will pin topics they find of significant value to the community (read: most important). That's not something I would handle it's above my pay grade.

LOL I wonder if they are just prudent retailers that are preparing for the future or maybe they know something we don't? *Searches Marty McFly in O'Rielly Board of Directors*

Wingmen are temperamental but it's usually not enough beer or you're flirting with his girlfriend. Both of which will get you killed. Good luck.

Let's talk about the helicopter ride to Obj Boston...and how we laughed when we saw the 82nd "Airborne" truck it in on deuce-and-a-halfs the next day. The rest of you desperate drippy-dicked drooling degenerates...LISTEN UP! Weekend Safety Brief Don't...do drugs Don't...drink and drive Don't call me unless everyone else on the alert roster is drunk, dead, or out of cell range. Run in fire teams of no less than 4...still a bunch of fucks out there that want what we have. Two to the chest...one to the head.

Hands down our neighbo(u)rs to the north have the best beer commercial humor. !Salute! We do know how to bring the rain tho. Enjoy!

That's similar to the older folks who have a shart. Tornado in a hurricane with no escape. No personal Experience.

Some might tell you that global warming isn't a thing. Please invite them over for a tornado party for a better understanding. March super cells and funnels, insanity.

I would offer that MB has graciously accepted the responsibility of moderating and as such those actions are only a small part of the assets he provides to this community. We as a group are very accepting and tolerant so I would have a hard time believing any well constructed meaningful post would be removed without reason. Communication is important and all of us understand that but sometimes people with good intentions post objectionable content that is removed for not what was said but how it was said. They are two very different things and since we are all part of this worldwide community I know we do understand and appreciate that. Please don't allow this to become a bigger issue than it is. We are better than that. Heck, I've even been moderated here and thankfully so as in my disgust I was making quite the fool of myself. It happens we move on and life continues. Keep it 100! E

If this reminds you of anyone you're not alone.

WW2 interesting photos and facts The first American serviceman killed in the war was Captain Robert M. Losey. He was serving as a military attache and was killed in Norway on April 21, 1940 when German aircraft bombed the Dombs railway station where he and others were awaiting transport. The first German soldier killed in World War II was Lieutenant von Schmeling, who was a military advisor to the Nationalist Chinese (China had been at war with Japan since 1931). He was killed while leading a Chinese infantry Battalion of the 88th Division of Shanghai in 1937. Suicide Submarines Japan employed multiple types of suicide attacks during the war, including suicide submarines called Kaiten ("the turn toward heaven"). Approximately 100 of these were used, the most famous of which was used in the sinking of the USS Underhill. Finnish snipers were some of the deadliest in the world. During the Winter War (November 1939 - March 1940), the Soviet Union invaded Finland hoping to gain Finnish territory and create a buffer zone for Leningrad. Because of the inexperience of Soviet troops and the incredible effectiveness of Finnish snipers, the USSR lost 40 men to every Finn that was killed. Massive Submarines In 2005, dive researchers from the University of Hawaii discovered the remains of a massive Japanese submarine, I-401. This behemoth was basically an underwater aircraft carrier and was built to bomb the Panama Canal-it carried three folded up bombers inside its watertight hangar. The huge submarine could sail 37,000 miles, or one and a half times around the world. Three of these subs were captured at the end of the war. They measured 400 feet long and 39 feet high, and could carry a crew of 144 men. According to the AAF Statistical Digest, the U.S. Army Air Forces lost 14,903 pilots and crew in the United States. These men died as a result of more than 50,000 accidents during the course of the war. Another 1,000 planes disappeared en route from the U.S. to foreign countries. Air losses were so staggering during 1942-43 that it was statistically impossible for bomber crews to complete a 25-mission tour in Europe. More than 41,000 American servicemen were captured during the war. Of the 5,400 captured by the Japanese, half died. About 10% of those captured by Germans died. The youngest U.S. serviceman was just 12 years old. Calvin Graham lied about his age to get into the service and was later wounded at the Battle of Guadalcanal. He was given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age, though his benefits were later restored by act of Congress. Some baffling bits of irony: 1. The insignia of the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry division was the swastika (the 45th was part of the Oklahoma Army National Guard and the swastika was a tribute to the large Native American population in the southwest) 2. Hitler's private train at the start of the war was named "Amerika" 3. At the time Pearl Harbor was attacked, the top U.S. Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced "sink us") 793 German U-boats were lost in World War II. Of the nearly 40,000 men onboard those subs, 75% died at sea. More men died in the U.S. Air Corps than the U.S. Marine Corps. It is estimated that while completing your required 30 air missions, your odds of being killed were 71%. And fact #30 about U.S. troops is even more sobering. The power grid in Germany was more vulnerable than the Allies realized during the war. Some experts speculate that if Allied bombers had dropped just 1% of their bombs on power plants instead of industrial factories and targets, the whole of Germany's infrastructure likely would have collapsed. There was really no such thing as an average fighter pilot-you were either an ace or machine gun fodder. One of Japan's top fighter pilots, Hiroyoshi Nishizawa, shot down over 80 planes during the war but died while a passenger on a cargo plane. One of Germany's top aces, Oberst Werner Moders, died as a passenger on a plane that crashed. In their guns, fighter planes loaded every fifth round with a glowing tracer to help them aim correctly. This turned out to be a big mistake, since tracers took a different flight path than regular bullets-if your tracers were hitting their target, odds are 80% of your regular rounds were missing. To make things worse, including tracer rounds immediately told your enemy he was under attack, and it let him know which direction you were coming from. Perhaps worst of all, pilots would load a string of tracer rounds at the end of ammunition belt to let them know when they'd run out of ammo. Unfortunately, this also let the enemy know they were out of ammunition. It is said that pilots who stopped using tracers saw their hit rates nearly double and suffered less casualties. Russian pilots destroyed hundreds of German aircraft by ramming them in midair. A few famous Russian pilots were able to eject after ramming enemy planes and survived to fight in future battles. Germany also began using aerial ramming near the end of the war. Because of its massive number of troop transports, the U.S. Army actually had more ships than the U.S. Navy. When the U.S. Army landed in North Africa, they brought along more than troops and equipment: they also set up three complete Coca-Cola bottling plants to keep troops well supplied. Korean Soldiers Some of the first Germans captured during the invasion of Normandy weren't German at all, they were Korean. These soldiers had been forced to fight for the Japanese army until they were captured by the Russians, who forced them to fight for the Russian army. They were later captured by the Germans and forced to fight as German troops. Germany officially declared war on just one nation in World War II: The United States of America. The Dachau concentration camp first opened in 1933, six years before the start of World War II. The Dachau camp system grew to include nearly 100 sub-camps. 20% of Poland's population died during World War II, the highest percentage of any nation. Japan occupied U.S. territory for more than a year, invading and holding two islands in the Aleutian Island chain, which is part of Alaska. Nearly 1,500 American troops were killed in 13 months of fighting to retake the islands. Polish Catholic midwife Stanislawa Leszczynska delivered 3,000 babies at the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust in occupied Poland. Only 20% of the males born in the Soviet Union in 1923 survived the war. Adolf Hitler's nephew, William Hitler, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II No Surrender Hiroo Onoda, an Imperial Japanese Army intelligence officer who fought in World War II, held his position in the Philippines and refused to surrender until 1974. His former commander traveled from Japan to personally issue orders relieving him from duty. More than 16,000,000 American troops served in World War II. Of these, 405,000 were killed during the war. Ladies of the Hitler Era One shudders to think what happened to them in 1945. Total casualties for World War II are estimated between 50 and 70 million people. 80% of those came from just four countries: Russia, China, Germany, and Poland.

In a bold move today the President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto has ordered that all public restrooms in Mexico now supply his response to Donald Trump's request to pay for the wall between the United States and Mexico. Speaking at a conference in Tijuana yesterday he said, "Today the people of Mexico will know what I really told him."

It's so great that the rest of the world feels our pain and stands beside us to bandage our open wounds. Thank you from all of us, the sane ones left in the USA aka "the popular" vote. We f**ked up and we're trying to fix it.

I'm concerned about all these recent questions that are being asked about capabilities, release of documents, and so on. I can't think of a better way to get a group of guys in black pj's to make a house call around 3 am than asking about sensitive information on a public board. There's nothing more calming than knowing who you're really talking to, is there? Sleep well.

The old site was designed on an outdated platform which needs to be updated at a considerable cost, roughly $500. Because of the outdated code it is a security risk to our equipment and I elected to revamp it when the money is available to do so. The data is still intact so it is there but I can't answer your question about the profile you are after. Contact Snacko here at CA and maybe he has what you're after if not have him PM me and I can grab it off the old site and we can get it to you that way.

I bought a couple 55 gallon (approx 208 liters for the Brit's among us) drums of extra moisturizing aloe and vitamin E KY lubricant from Amazon for the occasion. Lord help us all it's going to get worse before it gets better.

I'll pray for you ... pray that you have a full bottle of scotch to go with your marathon.

People are so disgusted with elected officials doing nothing to solve problems for so long that they are using one of the candidates to express their feelings. This is why it doesn't matter who that person is or what they stand for as long as they think a melt down of the system will ensue. Drain the swamp is the rebel cry and it has strength because people are tired of electing public servants that start broke and leave Washington with huge "foundations" and wealth. The corruption is not partisan it leaps the aisle with the greatest of ease you simply have to be willing to sell your soul to the highest bidder. Many want reform but this price is too expensive.

I think it's common knowledge that the Presidential Election is in November because it's the best time to pick out a turkey.
