    My point was that when you're talking on a radio, most of the time you've already thought out what you're going to say. It's actually a step they reccomend you take before you transmit. Just so you don't trip over your words on the air. So if you already know what you're saying and it's just a matter of saying it, it won't be hard to think of something else. At least it isn't for me

You're saying "it would be nice to be blocked when giving a command so that you can not select another until you finish saying the first one," Which means you would not be able to select a command while you're still saying the first one. That makes no sense, because you can still think while you're talking. Why can't you get that?

    Who's your favorite 1985 character?

    Trained to not have emotion!? Thats the biggest load of misinformation I've ever seen. Soldiers, whether an infantryman or a special ops agent are regular people who are trained to fight. They still love their familys, they still have a sense of humor. Emotion usually doesn't get in the way of a job.

    That's funny, I thought I already asked. I just worded it wrong. Going through the giant process of determining who is qualified to go to what political positions isn't of interest of me. I just want to make sure it's done so I don't have people who don't know what they're doing in office.

    Battlefield 1942

    DoD is getting better, but it's still a deathmatch. i'd only play if it were realistic i'm talking realistic classes (everyone in world war two did NOT have a BAR), realistic weapons (no more toe-kill shots), and besides, it uses the half life engine. not very good graphics ifyou ask me.

    Bah! Basically, it goes the same for you all too. Unless of course you're formally trained in politics.

I don't mean to be a "knee jerk republican" and I'm sorry that you think I am. But I'm tired of seeing the president being mocked for nothing more than being a bad public speaker. How can you not see that? IMO, political mistakes are generally a matter of opinion. For example: pro-choice people are not going to like this decision, and are going to call it a mistake. But some political mistakes are real mistakes that even Bush-friendly republicans can point out. Those kind of mistakes I won't defend with any vigor.

    New campaign

    I already asked a question like this. Didn't get a very good answer. Basically they told me to "read the readme". which didnt help any i recommend that, if the readme doesnt help (yes, you should read it), email the maker and ask him/her. maybe they left something out and assumed everyone knew it or something like that.

    I know what you mean. Especially in the tanks. I'm muzzle to muzzle with a T-80, I give the command to target it... "Target T-80, 05 1" My character has to say all of that before the gunner even starts to rotate the turret. Then I click to fire... "Move to, 05 1" NO! My mouse wasn't in the right position. 1-1 "Keep formation" "Fire!" *boom* It just takes too long. The in-vehicle radio should take priority over the outer radio, which is stuff like enemy callouts "Soldier, 4 o'clock" and stuff not very important when you're about to get shot.

    Should i do it?

    Should I go out and by resistance? It sounds like it's just a new campaign with new weapons and a few vehicles, so is it really worth paying for?
