Three guys -- a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden, and an American engineer are walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes total” says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." Polo!

With a blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.

Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can EVER come into our precious state."

Polo! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries...

The American engineer asks, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall".

The Genie explains, "Well, its 5000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds these countries........ It’s virtually
impenetrable. Now what is your wish?"

The American engineer smiles and says, "Fill it with water."

Assuming terrorists started attacking on our own soil, how many would be brave enough to take up arms against them?

Then let me ask you this, Why do so many people want to migrate here? I don't have a problem with people wanting to come here for a better way of life as long as they do it legally, America is a melting pot. Full of many different ethnic groups, That's what makes it such a great country, I spent 30 years in the US Marines fighting around the world for freedom, I've fought in many countries and probably been in yours at one time or another. So my question is why do you hate America after all we have done for the rest of the world? We are the first to respond when any country is in trouble, Along with Britain, We have given aid to the world when they are in need. But, yet I keep hearing in the press how much the world hates us and our British friends. Can you explain why when we have came to the aid of so many countries in need? Was the 30 years of my life fighting for freedom wasted along with all the Brave men and women that have served and died?

This summit includes Iran, Syria, Zimbobwae, North Korea, and Venenzuela. If this isn't like the axis of power then prove me wrong. We are on the verge of WW3. It is a remake of ww2 all over again. There are muslims doing the hitler salute and saying death to Israel, America, and U.K. Let's start a petition and send it to the president to get out of Iraq and focus and prepare our forces for a bigger war.

I spent 3 years in Vietnam, 1967 until 1970. In "68" I was shot twice in the chest, and surrvived by the grace of God, Only to be held captive by the V.C. until the end of "68"(8 months captive) Then I was liberated by the same Special Forces Unit I served with, the Mighty 7th. Unthinkable attrocoties were inflicted on me during that time, Nails ripped out, (fingers and toes) teeth pulled out, (all of them) and my wounds ripped open on a regular basis. The other things are too-graphic to mention here on this web-site. All that being said, where is all the "Forgivness" in peoples hearts now-days? I dont run around and shoot every Vietnamese person I see. In fact, I have no animosity towards them whatsoever! It was WAR, and all of the Vietnamese did not torture me. Just as sure as ALL muslims were not flying those aircraft on 9/11! Have a heart my brothers and sisters, forgive, but never forget. target the ones who have earned your hatred, not the innocent. God Bless you all. God Bless America, And Our Troops! 1st. Sgt., 7th Special Forces, (Ret.) Vietnam, "67"-"70"

I am on a committee to help organize the Colorado National Guard's 2007 Military Ball. This is a very formal event to which tickets must be purchased. The theme, so to speak, is a hail and farewell to our outgoing TAG and Governor. We are expecting an attendance of 800-1000 people, including high ranking military and government officials from Washington DC. Proceeds from the ball will be donated to charity.
A few of us on the committee want to put extra effort into making this ball fun for lower enlisted Soldiers, who have tended not to come to these sorts of events in the past, although they are very much wanted. So far we have decided to get a seperate room from the ballroom where a DJ can play modern dance music and we are hoping to sell tickets to E-5s and below at a quarter of the officers price. The ball is set for late March and we are brainstorming more ideas to make this an event for the lower enlisted. Please tell me what you think will make this more fun for the enlisted.

not considered a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD)? Last time I checked my physics manual, radiation did not discriminate between enemy combatants and innocent children. It just sort of irradiates everyone. Which is, of course, the very definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

The answer, obviously, is that OUR weapons of mass destruction are not weapons of mass destruction. But THEIR weapons of mass destruction, which we sold them in the first place, ARE weapons of mass destruction. Why? 'Cuz we said so. If the logic is difficult to follow, don't worry. Nobody else can figure it out, either.

A friend sent me this question today. Any Comments?

after talking to recruiters and what not, i decided to browse through and see if there were any other jobs that interested me in the army. i'm joining regardless, but i'd like to go in and do something i'm going to like at the least. well, lucky me, i found the PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS SPECIALIST!!! the description suits me well. (and that was my major in college before i dropped out). so my question is, is there anyone who has any familiarity with this occupation? i.e. experience or knows someone who has done it? and how did you like it, and what was it like. (well 3 questions rolled into one). thanks for your help!!!

When I approach my husband with my feelings about something he will ask me my REASONS for feeling the way I do. But after I tell him why I feel the way I do he will analyse each reason saying this reason is not logical, that reason was four days ago and does not count, etc...if I give him 5 reasons he may or may not give me credit for them and this is what determines wether or not he will validate my feelings or comfort me. It seems like my reasons for my feelings must be validated through him first before he will give comfort....He told me this is how the REAL world works and acts, is he right? Why does he treat me like this? What kind of mind is this???

During the Cold War, both the US and the USSR build numerous nuclear weapons, often measuring the power of those weapons in kilotons/megatons of TNT explosive power. Which country build the largest weapon, whether or not it was tested?
