Y'all might want to sneak on over to my usual hangout for some insight on JH15: https://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48426 ;) I'm not LS there. LS

These guys have been set up. These pictures will haunt them the rest of their (short) careers. At my Oklahoma high school in '67 or '68, they had a Mess (fill in the HS name) pageant for males in drag. The guy that won committed suicide before the 5th anniversary because of the ribbing he received. There was nothing ever vicious said, he was a nice and well liked guy, it just turned out to be what he was most remembered for and talked about. LS

Copy, thanks. Missed it. LS

Who are these guys? They're not ROTC or American.

Hmmm. A 9mm, double ricochet, 100 yards, through a trailer door (open I presume) hits his mother-in-law, in a recliner that is facing away from the door? I'm not buying it.

You AF guys and your fixation with 100+ year old gun technology and open carry. :D Us Army guys like H&Ks concealed. Who's the bad guy going to target first? And who is going to put a round through his bean on the next shot? ;)

This Walcott dude enlisted in 1999 then high-tailed it to Canada in 2006. He had to have re-enlisted at some point, Did a re-up bonus grubstake his desertion? LS

The airport is on loan, in perpetuity, to Santa Monica. The Feds have threatened to take it back if they move to close it. LS

Sounds like he did turn back for 03. That cost him altitude. There were some nice long fairways for him to set down on if he hadn't tried to "stretch" his glide back to the asphalt. Hope he's OK. LS

Doubt he had time to try to turn back. That golf course is very close, small, and there to catch aircraft like this. (My wife got her Private ticket at SMO.) LS

Well, she came through for my neighbor. He built an airstrip on his land 3 years ago and applied to the FAA for a airport designator. They have ignored his emails and phone calls since then. He called MMc's office yesterday and got a call from the FAA at 0730 this morning giving him his designator. I've got to give her thumbs up for that. LS

Yes they do. The Fort Hood massacre was called "workplace violence". Where was the outrage from the sheeple at that? A PH moves one to to the head of the medical care line. The video wasn't shown on the network shows, it was offered as a choice on their website. Don't want to watch it, don't watch it. Simple enough. If it was one of ours? Then it was one of ours. How about the Blackwater guys hanging from the bridge? Were they ours? It's a war. A dirty war. And we'd be advised to start fighting it. No lawyers allowed at any level and let the enemy determine the ROE. LS

To remind the sheeple what savages these goat pokers really are.

I'd be happy just to find .22LR for my 10/22. BTW, I wonder if they have a 1/2 scale Headspace and Timing Gauge, too. :)

Kohoutek was 1973 and a big flop here on the surface. Comet West was 1976 and, for a short time, was visible in daytime. LS

To me, the enemy sets the rules. LS

Gee, I don't recall that working since the SERE cadre knew the truth to begin with. And Wikipedia is hardly a go-to source for anything that you want to base policy or opinion on. LS

Fixed it you you. ;) Heard of any prisoners lately? LS

I was comparing what Fuzz listed as torture to SERE. BTW, Army SF SERE is different. It's longer and bones may be broken. (I was not SF.) LS

Agreed. I think it's called SERE training. ;) As to the other part of your reply: perhaps. Immediate action response is dependant on the mobility of the Bad Guys. But, as in the (supposed*) case of UBL, his mobility was restricted and information gathered at a later date may have, and perhaps did, produce actionable intel. (*Supposed because we've seen no evidence whatsoever of his death. And yes, I do believe that he is dead.) There are interrogators and there are torturers. They are not, necessarily, the same. LS

We are approaching this from different perspectives. As an Infantry soldier who just caught the bad guy who blew up my buddies, a gun to his balls when asking where the next IED is is fresh info. Now, he wants to be a martyr, not a eunuch. If he lies, I will know in a few minutes and he will be singing soprano at the next Eid celebration. If he tells the truth. . .he gets to hang out at Club Gitmo. Maybe. But, specifically to your quote above, it would verify if this guy is telling the truth in this one instance. Complicated, ain't it? ;) LS

Conceptual metaphor. ;) ETA: May only work if you went to Catholic School in the '50s, though. LS
