Wow! both are stunning.

beautiful!

that is looking damn beautiful.

true, More Chinese would be very welcome

thank you for your service. you deserve to have a great retirement.

i am loving the Japanese ships a lot myself. As far as I am concerned the more the merrier.I wouldn't mind seeing some French navy escorts or even some dutch ships but the Japanese ships are just beautiful and will always find a home in one of my installs.

so much respect for men who die to protect others.

Boxers or briefs?

Not to make too much light of the subject but from the title i half expected to see something more like this.(please excuse the horrible photoshopping)

yeah it's all over the news, so glad you are ok.

that's ok I had to check it a couple times myself since i can't seem to ever say something the right way.

reread what I said... i do not want a law against it. the full sentence "There should not be a law against it I just find it disrespectful for an artist to add their own "touch" to the national Anthem"

that is irrelevant to my point. the music is written down a certain way so when that is deviated from by an artist it is changing the song... no one was talking about the poem here. Every song was not a song until it was written as a song. There should not be a law against it I just find it disrespectful for an artist to add their own "touch" to the national Anthem . Of course someone can improve how it sounds...that is not the issue it's the fact that it has a history and a meaning and from one generation to the next it's the same. it's a tradition. Tell a bed time story to a child every night for a year...then one day change it and see the reaction. traditions have meaning to many people.

I hate with a passion when an artist tries to change the music from the way it was intended. i fully admit that the Star Spangled banner is not the catchiest tune but I can't stand when some pop star thinks it is ok to change things up. It is symbolic to me and when it is changed it rubs me the wrong way big time.It should be sung with passion and conviction but never personalized by an artist.

beautiful. many thanks Veltro2k.

of course there were a dozen in the west borough church and millions of Muslim radicals in the streets(with dozens of deaths) every time someone draws a picture of Mohamed.Last time I looked "radical Christians" in this country have killed a handful each year while the radical Muslims are responsible for thousands) sometimes tens or hundreds of thousands) a year.

2 wives and 100lbs ago for me.

excellent. There just can not be enough ships.

I say just sign a mutual defense pact and fast track the Ukraine into NATO. Putin is not stupid enough to pick on anyone close to his size let alone a country that with nukes out of the equation could decimate any advance he made into the Ukraine given the political will.My question is if the ethinic Russians want to live in Russia why not just move? iit's about power and prestige not about the so called welfare of these people. It's almost a perfect parallel of the Sudeten crisis. If the west just sits on it's ass it won't be as bad as WW2 but you just never know. You have to confront aggression and evil when ever you can or it grows. Now Putin is not Hitler but his actions are far far from anything a civilized leader would do.I just wish we could curb some of Putin's aggression and give it to the leaders here.

That should be the one chance they get, buzz a US ship or interfere in our allies or friends nation and the next plane or " unmarked troops" should end up in the dirt...permanently.Sorry but if you pussy foot around with Putin he will just keep escalating things. Slam him back hard or he won't stop.Anyone with half a brain understands what game he is playing we have shown weakness politically the last few years so he is testing how far and how much he can take before the Europeans stop cowering and the US finds it's balls.

Also if you are referring to the WWI and early WWII stuff there is a WIP thread in the First Eagles section.
