He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gunfire.
__________________________

You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him.
If only there were more men like him!
____________________________

If you support your troops, re-send this to everyone you know,

If it gets to another veteran who hasn't received it yet, it will bring back memories.








Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Well, then they said they were finished and I sat up and he took a picture of my tooth and said thhat he wasnt finished. He told my mom and then he opened it back up again because it wasnt they way he wanted. I told him i could feel it and it was hurting. He was like "im almost done. Well the somthing got in my mouth that wasnt supposed to {I have no idea what it was} And I started coughing and swallowed it becaus eit was too strong. They tried to suck it out but couldnt.

The Japanese had Samurai swords and were highly skilled with them as well as with many styles of fighting. And the Chinese had many differenct types of weapon... such as nunchucks, shinais, sais, swords, long staff, escrima, short staff, et cetera.
Yet the Greeks on the other hand, had fire that could not be put out with water, and the Romans had catapults - like those in the film "Kingdom of Heaven" - and sling-shots and so on. Both the Romans and Greeks may have had more power than the Asians, but it does not necessarily mean they were more advanced.
So which were more advanced - for their time, in arsenal and strategies, et cetera - ?

I don't hate America because its people are fat. No, I don't hate America because they don't care about the rest of the world. I don't even hate them because they waste so damn much. I do hate them because even with all this wealth and prosperity they still suck when it comes to education. Jeez you guys are one of the stupidest nations of all the nations given free education. But I guess you don't have to think very much when you just sit back and let Asia and S. America do your work for you. Your forefathers would be so pissed if they knew all the crap they put up with was to create such a disgusting bunch of people. And I am an American.

If the jury finds a man guilty,(no offense) they're only regular people with maybe NO studies of law & justice whatsoever, and the judge does not agree with that decision, can he overule and say he's innocent? If the jury decides on a man's fate, what's the point of a judge being there?

They have all your personal info, Driver's license number, Soc. Sec. number, home address, telephones, who you've bought from, loaned to or from, too much information for one entity to have, and yet no one says our privacy has been violated, and anyone with a couple of bucks can get this information from them without your consent.

It is time we started wars to kill people and decline the amount of pollution and waste. First we should kill those with low standard of living because if they die they loose less. Think about it mathimatically if death = 0, living in the West = 100, living in a country like China = 27.25. Then who should die. The one with the lowest standard of living points as they would only loose 27.25 and the marginal loss of death would be less than for someone from the West. Just wait until we get a little more crowded it will happen
