If he's "stuck out training in the desert for the Afghanistan," he's most likely actually at Fort Irwin, California, which is home to the Army's National Training Center. It's a month-long war game that all brigades go through before they actually deploy to a combat zone.

I was hoping they'd use Michael Ansarra as Mr. Freeze, but LaMarche does an excellent job. The way he refers to The Joker as "the clown," is just dripping with barely contained contempt.

The GOP, 2008: "LOL, you guys are running an inexperienced black guy against a Vietnam War hero and legendary Senator?"

I agree. I assumed that it would be an amusing rant about how over-used and repetitive it is. Not this ridiculous politically correct whining. It's perfectly in character for the thugs, but I still wish they were a bit more creative with the dialogue. "Witch" just screams "we can't say bitch with this rating." …

It's much more than a standard assault rifle. It even weighs more than a tricked out M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, but less than an M240B Medium Machinegun.

I am shocked that violent convicts who gleefully commit murder at the whims of an insane supervillain aren't more respectful towards a woman who is beating the shit out of them. Truly.

I would, but I'm at work. Sorry.

There's a YouTube clip where he's at a panel, and someone asks him that very question. He rather diplomatically said Bale's Batman voice completely sucked. He then gives the "I'm not wearing hockey pads!" line in *his* Batman voice, to a standing ovation.

It's the difference between spending years of training just to be "the new guy" on an ODA team, and spending years in some of the worst environments known to mankind, usually being greatly outnumbered, and trusted with the deadliest assignments that the Pentagon can come up with...and being a desk jockey who analyzes…

Your "friend" is full of shit, and the 101st Airborne Division isn't even a special operations unit. It's a standard air assault division. U.S. Army Special Forces have worn green berets since JFK's administration.

The Special Forces qualification tab was created in 1983, to recognize QUALIFIED special forces personnel. He enlisted in 1986. He never earned a tab.

Daly was an intel geek, period. It's not even classified as Combat Arms, much less Special Operations. They don't get any specialized training. They don't even get infantry training, much less special operations training. The SF personnel I worked with in Iraq, didn't even bring their intel geeks over from the…

He is a 35 Golf , an Imagery Analyst, period. An Imagery Analyst does the exact same job assigned to an SF unit that a 35 Golf does in the most regular, boring unit in the Army. They don't get any extra or special training. It's just a random assignment handed out by the Army Personnel Command. Getting assigned to…

It's not a title or a rank. It's "welcome to the unit. Here's your beret. Turn it in when you leave." I know a few support guys who served in SF units during the "Green Beret Give-Away"days, and it was a universally hated policy on both sides of the fence.

"This whole discussion seems to be around what a Green Beret is and what Green Beret isn't," Mann wrote. "There are some who claim that a Green Beret is only a Special Forces soldier who graduates from Q course and who is Operation Deployment Alpha. There are others in the military who claim that a Green Beret is a…

Well, let's see.

The Q-Course has existed in some form or another since before the Vietnam War. A version of it was defiintely in place during his time of service, and he did not go through it. His job as an intel analyst would never had required it.

I don't know what the hell "the military designated him" a Green Beret even means, especially since it's coming out of his lawyer's mouth. The Army has crystal clear labels of who is actually a trained and qualified Special Forces operator. It has "Special Forces" in the actual job title of the actual Special Forces…

He defrauded the producers of "The Deadliest Warrior." Do you really think they would have actually hired an "Imagery Analyst" with no advanced combat training to be on the show?

DADT was effectively dead even before it was repealed, at least after 2005. Up until it was repealed, pretty much every commander and First Sergeant assumed you're only breaking the "Don't Tell" part to avoid going to Iraq or Afghanistan.
