Re: Submachine 5: The Root
I love these games. Not too hard but not too easy. I got stuck on what to do with the light bulb since it made no since.

The 1940 Maneuvers: Prelude to Mobilization
Ph. D Christopher R. Gabel
"Thus, though the United States was at peace in the spring of 1940, the horror of war lay heavy on the world. And what military capabilities did the nation possess in this hour of crisis? The War Department might have called for combat-ready units in its training directive, but reality spoke otherwise. Just a few years earlier, the Army Chief of Staff announced that the U.S. Army ranked 17th in the world - right behind Rumania."
I stand corrected, Rumania.

Before WWII we had the 17th rank military in the world, right below Argentina. That's 40 years of no doiminance and look where it got us.

Re: Montel Turns the Tables on a Fox Morning Television Show
Look at history over the past 100 years, democratic societies don't go to war. If we leave now we will eventually have to return and even more people will die. There is absolutely nothing good that can come from pulling out other than preventing deaths short term. Maybe it's a mistake why we're there now but we wouldn't be there had the coalition finished it the first time around. And I stand by all my comments 100%. Show me a war where two sides fought for an extened time it did not come down to kill ratio. Insurgents aren't some mystic fighting force, enough die and they lose the will to continue their struggle. It's happening right now. They have been losing their command and control and are becoming more and more fragmented.

Re: Montel Turns the Tables on a Fox Morning Television Show
Again, we're not losing the war in Iraq folks. All wars come down to one stat; kill ratio. If Fox started a body count like Vietnam the American public would lament for us to have mercy. We're too far along this path now. A democracy, or form of it will be set up in Iraq and that's a good thing, not because of freedom but because democracies rarely fight each other. If we leave now we will have to do this all over again.

Re: Montel Turns the Tables on a Fox Morning Television Show
The "voice of America" Walter Cronkite is one of the main reasons we pulled out of Vietnam. Notice I didn't say we lost because in reality we were winning and about an 8th of an inch from winning it all. I respect Montel for his compasion but we are too deep in this hole now to start cutting deep into the hearts of Americans. I'm in the military and I want to win this thing. If I die I don't need Fox news telling anyone I made the ulitmate sacrafice. That would be like a crackhead singing at my funeral.

Re: The Half-Ton Man
Good doctor. He laid down the law and said you will do what I say in the hospital. The doc also said the man's diet consisted mostly unhealthy foods with little if any fruit and vegetables and no exercise. Yes, genetics may play a factor but the primary issue here is poor diet and lack of physical activity. Secondardy would be the family and loved ones who enable the cycle to continue as you can see from his wife catering to the diet of rich fatty foods.

I did this with crochet several summers ago. Even caught the neighbor's lawnmover spewing grass all over my camera.

Re: Top 20 Coolest Guitar Licks
Saw a llist a few years back but it had Cult of Personality on it. That was a great lick and great song. Stairway was more of a ballad and didn't really have a one IMO.

Stephan let's go physically run 2 miles. I'd bet a small forture I'd destroy you. On the cuber though it's like tripe reverse or something, you got me!
