Well... I stumble on a question by somebody saying he wants to get back in the army after getting what he calls a "general discharge" from the USAF, and wondering if he can get a security clearance. So I wonder, why "general" and not just "dishonorable"? and I can tell for sure it wasn't an honorable or health motive discharge. So, what are the non honorable discharge varieties?

i don't understand how such a biased network can get away with thinking they are serious. Liberals have there own bias news commentary shows, all of which are openly comical and even make fun of themselves. i think inoredr to stay legitament they should change there name to "conservative opinions." or something more along the lines of what they really are, which excludes the word news.

just about all of the major "blockbuster" movies, portray government as evil and corrupt. Is this portrayal actually brainwashing people into thinking that government is always the bad guy?

White supremacist gang busted
Gang, weapons, drug crimes alleged

Michael Kiefer
The Arizona Republic
May. 20, 2006 12:00 AM

A self-named White supremacist gang suspected of trafficking in methamphetamine and illegal weapons was the target of a 14-month, multi-agency investigation that culminated in 42 indictments on gang, weapons and drug charges.

Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas announced the indictments Friday, while standing behind some of the confiscated weapons, including a .50 caliber gun that could bring down a police helicopter from a mile away.

The group reportedly called itself AZ 88 Boot Boys and operated mainly in west Phoenix and Glendale. Thomas identified its leader as 40-year-old Todd Streich; 32 of the accused have been arrested. advertisement







"These indictments are an important breakthrough in the fight against this violent gang," Thomas said. "This is a hateful group with a dangerous criminal agenda."

According to Assistant Phoenix Police Chief Kevin Robinson, the investigation began when a patrol officer on Phoenix's west side recognized criminal activity among residents that Robinson would not specifically identify.

But his observations launched an investigation that included Phoenix, Glendale and Scottsdale police; the County Attorney's Office; U.S. Marshals and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Thomas said the group was providing "on demand" sales of illegal weapons. Among those confiscated were 32 pipe bombs, two grenades, seven sawed-off weapons and a machine gun.

Marvin Richardson, assistant special agent for ATF, said undercover officers purchased the .50 caliber gun from people who intended to shoot down a police helicopter. Richardson said shells fired from the gun could pierce tank armor.

"The destructive capacity of those weapons makes the streets much safer without them," Richardson said. "No question."

Besides Streich, who was charged with leading a criminal syndicate, authorities released indictments for 18 men and seven women. The charges against them range from sale of dangerous drugs to trafficking in stolen property, misconduct involving weapons and assisting a criminal syndicate. The other defendants have not yet been served with their indictments.

Thomas's office said all of the defendants face mandatory prison if convicted, and four could spend the rest of their lives there.

There were no hate crimes cited that linked to the group's identity as White supremacists. "We're not calling them that. They're calling themselves that," Robinson said.

I posed a question a few weeks ago titled, "Does this make sense to anyone." It is listed under one of my questions. In it, a person who goes by Frank, M, not only COMPLETELY missed my point, but he also left me a nice personal insult. I was under the impression that this message board was to come up with solutions to problems, or for a better understanding of a subject. Now I have only received about 6 hours of sleep over the last three days, so I will try not to say something I may regret later. To the frank M, who so kindly informed me that I joined the medical field for the "big fat paycheck",let me just say this: I work 12 hour night shifts, which usually ends up being a 13-14 hour day. I then go home to my 5 year old daughter and my 10 month old son. I feed them, bath them, dress them and take them to school/baby sitters house. It is now 1130. I get up at 530 pm, scarf something down, and go back to work for 12 hours. Yes it is hard, but I woudln't do anything else.

So on a scale of 200, 0 being most secure about foreign ties and 200 being least, the present score came up 130. Some of you will think the number somewhat accurate, some will think it is a lie.

My number would be closer to 160. I believe our foreign policy is ill-conceived and based on propaganda, and instead of nations coming together, we are driving them apart.

How would you score?

Other feedback?
