Know , right? I’d much rather have a dozen or so virgins and rest be experienced ball draining pros .

True. But the bombing campaign including the Hiroshima , and Nagasaki Bombings were only possible because of the amphibious landings on all those islands. The Amphibious campaigns both reduced the territory japan controlled ( to get us in range to bomb) and starved it of it’s supply and material lines. Bombing is a…

Guadalcanal,Truk, Bouganville, Peleliu, Palau, Tarawa, The Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa to name a few. Seems to me there were many “boots” on those grounds that were needed to get to that victory.

I just hopped over there to see what you were talking about. After reading some of the postings I’m convinced that we are doomed as a species.

Egypt was a Soviet ( Russian) client state from the late 1940’s up until 1979. So they have a history. However this administration’s poor handling of the ME in general is a big reason why that old relationship is getting warmer again.

Speech is speech. The content is irrelevant. There’s lots of things that are spoken, written , displayed under the protection of free speech that I find abhorrent which are still protected and should be. Free speech is not about being OK with the content. It’s about you being able to say what you want to say without a…

“The Hunt for Red October”

A few drones can take out fuel depots, or a bridge, or a rail line with no real danger or cost to the user. It’s far more than a terror weapon. It a inexpensive option that can cripple an opponent’s supply chain with little or no cost to you.

Good solid article Tyler. Don’t let those that only view things through partisan political eyes get under your skin.

That’s the theory. However the theory really never holds up against reality.

Well she did wipe out the Borg.

Here is another DB article on the F35 from today. How is this allowed to continue ? http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/…

Tyler, Where did you get the photo of the IRIAF F-4s?

Face it, the mystique evaporated when all those video taping sessions were outed.

War is a flawed and overused stat. In fact there is no real consensus on how to calculate it. Using WAR and only WAR is at best misguided. Is it valuable ? Of course, but only when used with more traditional baseball stats. Here's a pretty good article on it.

Yes. The Orioles, which were just hanging on to their home field advantage for the playoffs grooved him one. Please, no team baseball is more dependent on their home-field advantage than Baltimore. That team which depends on the long ball, the confines of Camden yards small dimensions, and had just tied the game up…

5th on the all time hit list. By seasons end ,top ten in runs scored That might be a decent starting point. Then there's these tidbits. Among shortstops, Jeter is first in runs, third in homers, fourth in doubles and average, sixth in on-base percentage, seventh in RBIs and eighth in walks all time. Also, his .828…

@nameuser Actually , you hiding behind a keyboard calling people that risk their lives on an everyday basis cowards seems to me the more cowardly act.

Ahh, that tired old song. ALL true. You know what else is true ? The Democrats switched parties en masse after the Civil Rights act passed and joined the republican party. They became the cornerstone of the GOP's southern strategy. So in effect the two parties switched sides when it came to civil rights in large…

So Revs, who do you think ACTUALLY writes those EEOC and Osha regs these days? Bought politicians , bought more and more by big business and Wall Street that's who . Without Unions ( who do need to address some serious issues themselves) the American worker has no chance.
