I agree. I ahve no fingernails left. In retrospective I think this is not a film for entertainment but more as an eye opener like Saving Pvt. Ryan. Every time a soldier got killed I hoped and prayed that the family of that man didn't go to see the movie. Very well made but it's just too damn sad.

The strike destroyed two houses -- killing three women and three children, and wounding another 20 people -- Dhoobley's District Commissioner Ali Nur Ali Dherre told CNN. Dherre said the remains of the missiles were marked "US K."


Huh, so the missiles never killed any of the terrorist leaders, but CNN makes sure to post that women and children were hurt and killed. Typical

One of my favorite lines from a movie...

Full Metal Jacket

Door Gunner: Git some! Git some! Git some, yeah, yeah, yeah! Anyone that runs, is a VC. Anyone that stands still, is a well-disciplined VC! You guys oughta do a story about me sometime!

Private Joker: Why should we do a story about you?

Door Gunner: 'Cuz I'm so #&%!$in' good! I done got me 157 dead gooks killed. Plus 50 water buffalo too! Them's all confirmed!

Private Joker: Any women or children?

Door Gunner: Sometimes!

Private Joker: How can you shoot women or children?

Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much! Ain't war hell?

LOL - all of you Ron Paul nitwits need to take a serious look at the advantage of having forward deployments brings to our fight against terrorism. Those attacks on Somalia came from Ethiopia bases. That's how you destroy terrorism. Once cell at a time with forces in region.

Ron Paul would have us cowering behind our borders, waiting for the terrorists to attack us here - LOL.

All of you (everyone else) nitwits need to take a serious look at us not having borders to cower behind.

Good point Sarge, and I don't think Ron Paul supports cowering behind borders. There is not a single corner of this glode we can't send an airplane to with precision guided munitions to blow up any target we wish. We don't need to have forward airbases to attack from the air. Island hopping is a thing of the past. If we do pull our forces out of all of our deployed places we would have to draw down the conventional forces and greatly enhance the unconventional forces, including airborne divisions, in our military.

What is the perimeter length of all our occupations we have to guard? As Sarge says, where are our borders?

We will never live down the preemptive strike and occupation of helpless Iraq just to take down our own CIA nurtured Dicktater monster and to build 14 bases. We are a liability in the eyes of the people of the world.

"But like any good libbie they do not have the guts to put it under their own name."

But just like a good Republican you'll deny that you are involved in a practice that willing accepts emails from another male, who posts on this message board who is looking to form "controlled connections".

XL implies with some of his posts that those who he disagrees with are "homo's". He claims that this is just "locker room" humor.

Obviously, he likes to snap the towel on others asses and whiny.
