Folks. I was watching the History network...what else The were showing newreels from WWll. In one film this tired grunt is checking dead Japs on Iwo to make sure they are dead. He prods one with his carbine, than to be sure, puts a round into the body and walks on, just another day on the job. I got to thinking that if CNN had a clip of a GI or Marine doing that today in Irag, his butt would be in Jail and the liberal Congress and media would go mad!! When you look at China and The Middle East, I fear for the future of the nation if we don't wakeup. The world is not a pink playroom, it is a jungle and the soft get eaten. Karl

Well...A doggy who sees the light...and can count..will wonders never cease We Marines, are of course, worth many of the other lesser types but being the polite fellas and ladies that we are, we seldom speak of our greatness. Karl

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "shock and awe" types are at it again! This time it is Iran we must take out before they get WMDs. We can win without "boots on the ground". Air power alone will bring them to their knees. Now, I don't like Iran. I recall the "hostage" issue under Carter. I think we SHOULD have taken Iran out before Saddam. Any one with half a brain knows that Iran is the center of gravity for the Islamic rebirth. The problem is that we just don't have the troops. Assume that the Ayatollahs roll over and fall back on people's war, where are we going to get the troops to run Iran? Most of the Army and Marine Corps is at work, enlistments are down and the Doves are already at work? If we take out Iran, we are gonna need grunts and we just don't have any to spare. Karl Life is simple.
