[Can you imagine being the guy selected to pull that one off? lol but he did, kudos to that guy. ] If I recall what I had read about it,it was jimmy tatch...if so he definetly WAS outstanding choice...

How do you confuse a French Soldier? A: Give him a rifle and ask him to shoot it Not bad,not bad..cept there's One french unit that does rather well at fighting..french foreign legion..then again they are foreigners huh...

All I got to say is Thank You! for BOTH serving this great Free Country and for the sweet birds...

[Gone are the days of Spitting on troops comming home from pure hell and calling them baby killers] If you were lucky you only got spit on,if not you had doggy doo thrown..luckly in my neighborhood in brooklyn the folks were rather nice to us,you could not buy a beer in the local bar/club..but yes thank god the kids coming back now will not see anything like that,their dads and moms can show real pride..

The man was known for his seamanship, sense of tactics, and sense of humor oh yeah,definetly loved his books..liked the one where there was this sub and war games,the sub skipper did not want to surface as a kill,what happened then? a ensign suggested dropping a anchor on them lol..or the blues flying upside down towards a plane..yeah the man was wired right...

[Yep they're effective as hell but the cost to human life may be unacceptable. ] depends..thats why they are told park their vehicles walk away?..a cbu is a lot cheaper(I think) than a guided munition...that site says the body count is 4065 at low end,5223 at high end..actually that is a rather amazing LOW count,considering all the weapons that were used...and they saying ity's civilians,are they counting the ones shot by saddams troops as they were retreating?..

Too much of the plot was unrealistic and, to me, that means a lot. The beachhead scene was exellent Oh I dont know,makes one wonder what would have happened if the sullivans would have had a brother in the eto.....as for the beach-head,yeah it did give one a sense for the cojones it took for those guys to start liberating the louses..err french....

you gotta admit,that is a terrorists worst nightmare....they do look good tho...bright,intelligent,patriotic....come to think of it,they can be a lot of guy's worst nightmare..... :roll:

The RA-5C Vigilante was a beautiful aircraft. It was, however, a hydraulic mechanic's nightmare. Leaked constantly. Chief you ought have seen them going off the pointy end of the boat at night lol. that was a sight,almost as much fun as watching a whale come in and trap...and let us not forget the bomb bay thing in between the engines,talk bout crapping bombs... :roll:

oh what the hell,while we are at the dreaming thing,why not a viggie? Id like see a a-5,then fly it full burner down in the weeds.......then of course there's the f11f and the f-8.......yep the f11,the only bird ever to shoot itself down,now THAT is fast lol lol...

I mean, he has NO clue! the sad part is he DOES have a clue,he wants to keep himself from being hung on a meat hook....which is good,seems sad hussein don't like folks tell him he screwed the pooch lol

Unless the deed for which it is given leaves no doubt in the minds of the public that it was an act of the utmost heroism, selflessness and courage, then it sould not be awarded. Doing so only cheapens the sacrifices other men and women have made well from what been said she put up a good fight,definetly good for a non grunt type..lets see broken legs(maybe tortured?)broken arm,gunshot,stabbed..Id say she pissed off a lot of iraqi 'soldiers'......if not CMH ok then least silver star,or bronze with V,whatever I think the young soldier did good...

ok folks,here's a dumb question(perhaps?).. how can I get EAW to work under win xp?......actually several games lol... 8)

if indeed neglegence was the case, I'm positive the Air Force will remedy the situation at hand in an appropriate manner It's been called the fog of war,and we All know there are humans behind the stick(or trigger)accidents WILL happen,and WILL be investigated....in the case of a plane,the pilot has a lot of things to do at the same time...but yes if negligence is found to be the cause the offender will be dealt with...but by same coin,a lot of folks talk about it being this or that fault,most times those are the very same folks that have no clue as to what DOES go on...

I have to agree that a lot of ang and afreserve DID camo their birds,time frame does not matter.the point being that the birds WERE painted such,one example being the 'boys from syracuse' ny ang,saw those birds flying in camo..the skin in question is a Outstanding effort..tho I hope there is a way to not have the usaf and bar/star in full color..lol sorry had to say that...actually at first they were painted in full color so it's no biggie...the skin is real good,as one without the patience to skin I will only comment that it is real looking..yep no patience,guys out there can talk a squirrel down from a tree,me I just get the gun and do it.....

Jimmy Stewart had run for President, he would have gotten my vote. Now THERE was a true American!!! F**k yes! and he had big brass ones too...

yeah,kind of takes cojones dont it...

however No one can take away the fact that till the tomcat came around it WAS the last pure dogfighter the naval and marine aviation had..and besides they did sport neat paint jobs..definetly did...sigh,oh yeah the days when our birds claimed loud and clear,here we is,what you gonna do about it?......it and the sluff made sure you kept your head up and locked while around them...

If we are going to kill him, let's drop a bomb on his ass, at least he's a casualty of war that way. rather good idea,if we can find the sorry ass LOL LOL,or if we can find all the decoy saddams then do it

I thought this was a place for Flight simmers who loved the games to pass info and help on to each other It IS,but you were reading in the wrong area,I definetly have gotten good tips from the boards for modding etc....as for prejudice,yeah as a Puerto Rican I can understand..however if I went around commenting on everytime I read or hear comments bout hispanics Id be one upthight man and THAT I dont owe Anyone..IF you read my post I was ONLY commenting on a few items,DEFINETLY NOT on the jail comment, I figured someone in a highger paygrade would problly notice and Comment on it more likely in private..as a matter of fact the issue COULD have been dealt with in a different matter, IE reply directly to the offensive post,or of course better yet the higher paygrade.....

God Damn UN, whole worlds gone Vaginal, god I hope this resolution kills the UN credibility, and then NATO can collapse, then we can just have the ESA (english speaking alliance) since we're the ones that ever do anything. I'm starting to like the Spaniards though, and I've always liked the Turks; they'll get their pipeline back after we send Saddam to Rikers. LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!!! ESA.. why not ESAK? and the spaniards are doing good,as is that lady prime minister from lithuania I think...but anyways,had a good laugh..

We need to go finish the job we started 12 years ago and didn't have he guts to finish then. But it just irks me to no end that suddenly this is an issue, with no taking responsibility of the fact that we created the mess to begin with. Meanwhile North Korea is blackmailing and threatening us with nuclear weapons and we ignore the problem again,I do NOT recall bush saying we were going to go to baghdad and take the guy out...never...as for the gassing,folks still miss the point,that guy would NOT hesitate for a ny min to gas americans..to pass along that expertise and ways to make and use it.. the prnk is threatening yes but they also know just how far to push,I dont think we are ignoring them,we just going to talk to them when we READY to,not at THEIR convinience,btw if they use even one nuke,they do know their faminine problem would no longer be a problem..the biggest threat is saddam getting a few warheads,those he WOULD use..so you take out one buyer and then go talk with the dealer....but just curious,why is No One talking about the LAME DEAL that gave the prnk time to work on nukes......back in those days it would not have been so difficult to take out the reactor,kind of like the one in osirak was taken out...as for saddam,yep it was that thing of my enemy's enemy being my friend,im not closed minded to that fact.......

(Saddam gases Kurds, and shia's, they are not his people just because they live within the borders of Iraq. ) you missed the point......Yeah they DO live within the country..kinda like WE have our minorities,but we dont go around gassing them... (Dont repeat what the media says, they dont know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to Middle Eastern history, and or interpolitics and religion.) might be time to say something...I do NOT I Repeat I do NOT just spout off without a few FACTS,do NOT patronize Me..I did 2 tours off of beirut and 2 to Camel Station back when the peanut farmer got upset and told the russians to get out of afgan land or the us would not go to the olimpycs.... Nobody likes the Kurds not even our Ally Turkey, the Iranians kicked them out long ago. They are the equivalent of western gypsies (no home, no nation, no nothin), all they have is themselves and the no-fly zone. As for the Shia's, consider that Saddam is just trying to finish off the Shia's in his own country... since he couldnt finish off his Shia neighbor. The point being made was NO ONE deserves to be gassed... (Here's how an Arab views his politics. 1st: Islam, 2nd: Tribe, 3rd: Nation.) kind of like the folks along our bible belt huh... (This is why there are so many problems in the Mid East that we do not understand. We view it as National aggression, when it is usually religious, or some old tribal rivalry that has existed since before western invasions into the area) or not putting a country in the map perhaps.... Sorry, I started bantering, but it bothers me how the media, puts out the language, and the public just picks it up and runs with it. No one would like to control your views more than the media, and most media is misinformed. as I said................been there done that got the t-shirt.. I make up my own mind,on my own beliefs and Knowledge.....

sure we CAN claim it..we have NOT gassed our own people,we have NOT harbored terrorists..our past? oh you mean like having a US Navy man o'war blown outta the water and NOTHING done about it? or the khobar towers? both of which in my oppinion qualify as Acts Of War against us

yeah kind of like a prostitute talking bout the virtues of virginity..... :roll:
