A few good men.

But some would argue that there function requires more discipline, and anyone who would be a marine has that certain ego quality that the marines feed into.

I say any soldier, be they cook, truck driver, NBC, Pac Clerk, seaman airman marine or army soldier equally deserve respect.

Each have a different function, an the chip on a marines soldier doesnt come from them truly being the best soldier, but just an ego and discipline that is created out of necessity for front line combat.

As far as the best soldiers, some would argue that one pilot who could destroy and entire batallion with the depression of a few buttons is a better soldier for his training and amount of damage he can dish out.

Some would argue tht the sniper who could take out a general from 1 1/2 miles away is a better soldier because his one shot one kill can inflict almost as much damage as a pilot.

Or the tank operator who takes out platoons at a time with his power.

Guliani was found to have Tax payers money used in charges for his mistress AS WELL AS used rest areas for 9/11 workers for his affairing rendez vous"Because the police department took time in paying off the charges"

The Police Commissionaer says otherwise.
The Comptroller says they investigated and questioned Guliani and were "sTONEWALLED"

Everyone but Guliani and his Ex Police commissioner friend whos indicted for fraud are pretty much the only ones that are saying this is normal practice now...

Former mayors before Guliani say its not normal to charge the way he did.

DOES ALL THIS SUCCESSFULLY SCRAMBLE THE FACT of how the charges were made, Versus the fact that WHY the charges were made in the first place?

Tax payers dollars were used on his affair...isnt that the real issue here??

that would show what hit the Pentagon?

CNN reporter live -- Explains how theres no Airplane fragments...any bigger than one can carry--which means if they were so small..they could have been handplaced

And photographed after the fact.

The american people deserve to see these surviallance tapes that were confiscated.

Write your congressman, and pressure them to ask for these tapes!!!

All should be made aware that Bush did not authorize a formal 9/11 investigation until 4 years after the fact.

grueably time enough to dispose of all the evidence.

And the department responsible was underfunded and understaffed and head by a Bushy.

Shuold the american people call on their representatives to demand the tapes and real investigation?

I am wondering if that is what my mother is. You see she works 40 hours a week in a low paying job. Then Saturday and Sunday she works cleaning business in the afternoons. So she works 7 days a week. She is in need of Health Insurance. She was born with a leaking heart valve, and had ovarian cancer over 30 years ago. Because of this she can not find affordable health insurance. She pays close to $800.0 a month for major medical coverage. It does not pay for any thing until she has over $10,000 in bills for that year Because of this I have to help her with her other living expense.

She does not smoke, she does not drink, and she has never done a drug in her life. She does not get any kind of assistance. She lives well with in her means.

Universal health care would be a wonderful thing to help her out. But I guess she is one of those dirty lazy people that should not be helped.

ARE WE STUPID?

*This is true - I checked snopes - the address if you are interested to read more. Amazing isn't it?
**http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/unvote.asp*

Claim: Arab/Islamic states consistently vote against the U.S. in the United Nations.
How they vote in the United Nations: Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:
>
> Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time
> Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time
> Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time
> United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
> Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
> Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
> Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
> Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
> Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
> Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
> Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
> Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
> Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
> Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
> Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
> India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
> Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
> Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.
>
U S Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
>
Egypt , for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion
annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States - receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States - Receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States Receives $143,699,000 annually.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes (and gasoline).


Pass this along to every taxpaying citizen you know. And send to your congressman, who should be disgraced but couldn't care less.

Disgusting isn't it?

I’m tired of all these pre stone age apeish politicians in congress telling us that we don’t have a right to bear arms! I’m sick of tree hugging numbskulls in schools telling me that ‘guns are dangerous’ and we shouldn’t use them!

I mean, what the hell am I going to do if I find a german kid in my sisters room raping her? ((lol))

What exactly am I going to do?

Am I going to ask him to stop?

Am I going to give up and leave the room?

I mean, why do they expect me to do about it if I can't bear arms like Second Ammendment mentality in the back of my mind tells me to?


______________________________________


In MY opinion, there is only one way to stop evil like that in our society, and it starts with a gun bullet and ends with their skull, lots of blood splattered in between.

That's strange too, because usually I try not to be a very violent person.

________

And now for the point:

What do you guys think about all that 'changing the Second Ammendment?'

But when China told the United States it was reversing course, it also rejected a request for the USS Reuben James, a frigate with about 200 crew, to visit Hong Kong over the New Year holiday, a Pentagon spokesman said.
Also on November 22, China told the United States it would not allow the next planned quarterly flight into Hong Kong by a C-17 aircraft to support the U.S. consulate there, said the spokesman, Marine Corps Maj. Stewart Upton.

Putin's statement at a Victory Day parade on Red Square on Wednesday was artfully phrased to be both blunt and vague — but political observers have little doubt he was criticizing the United States for "disrespect for human life, claims to global exclusiveness and dictate, just as it was in the time of the Third Reich."

I'm writing a speech about the two party system and I've been told to research Presidents who were held back by a Congress dominated by the opposite political party. (Ex. A Republican President with a Democratics dominating Congress) If anyone knows of one I'd really appreciate it.

that they would not have had to wear in the country of their ancestors? Sure, I recognize that some African countries wear clothes because some U.S. tourists are offended by nudity, and I recognize that nudity in the U.S. is only healthy and comfortable in the warmer months, but that is no reason to spurn the culture of persons whose parents were brought here against their will!
