    Quote[/b] ]If I recall corectly the only guys in the game from the book are , Chavez, Clark, Lousille,Johnston, Weber, and I'm not sure but I think Jorg was to.

    Actually, since the book is based on the game it should be the other way around...

    "the only guys in the book from the game..."

    Nitpicking, I know. But right should be right smile_o.gif

    A friend of mine claims to be able to sense "ghosts". He has several interesting stories but I have never experienced anything super natural myself, as far as I can recall. My friend also claims to be able to see peoples "guardians" at times. In his words a guardian can take the form of anything (animal, lost relative etc) and it follows certain people around. The funny thing is that if he is BSing, he is damn good at it because he has several times been able to point out guardians that he shouldnt really have known about, like peoples lost family members and such.

    Anyway, I dont know if its true, but I'll give it the benefit of doubt.

    Quote[/b] ]Uhuh, Longinius i dont know a polite way to say this but this is rubbish. Theres no way Ashoka sent men to the moon and there is no way Atlantis tried to subjugate the ancient world with advanced flying machines.

    And I never said so either. I offered the article as a basis for discussion since it pretty much sums up the idea that there might have been very advanced civilizations before us, some even so advanced that they had discovered flight. I far from view everything in that article as true or even plausible.

    Quote[/b] ]A- Atlantis does not exist, there may be a greek island that got obliterated similar to Thera of the Ancient Minoans but certainly no Atlantis of legend

    Thats a pretty mighty statement considering there are still people all over the world convinced Atlantis, in one form or another, existed. What makes you so sure it never did?

    Quote[/b] ]B- Theres no way the ancient Indians had advanced flying machines powered by gasoline or mercury (WTF?), all the evidence comes from ancient sources from a credulous culture immersed in myth and legend convinced that people can levitate using the power of the mind

    Why would it be impossible? Why would our civilization have to be the first one that reached this point in technological advancement?

    Quote[/b] ]I could attempt to go and type a comprehensive rebuttal of that page but, apart from me not being best qualified, it would be more effort than its worth. Its sheer Lovecraft.

    Like stated previously, that page isnt to be taken as absolute truth or as the only point of information for this discussion. It is simply about the theory that there might have been very advanced civilizations before our present one.

    Quote[/b] ]I admit all the sensationalist myths/conspiracy theories are fun to read and speculate about though

    My point exactly. Its food for thought and discussion, of course not something to be seen as fact.

    Yes, well, I warned you it was pretty wild smile_o.gif

    However, if you start poking around you will find very interesting food for thought even in those texts. Much of that which is mentioned is based on document facts. Like the findings of carvings and hireoglyphs, the stone buildings with melted walls, the pearls of glass, various unexplained artifacts etc.

    Quote[/b] ]Exactly what point(s) in this article are you referring to as conspiracy?

    Just the fact that it points to a long time, collective effort by muslims to infiltrate and destroy the western world. That constitutes a conspiracy. You know, when people conspire against others.

    Maybe this is to off topic for off topic, but its about war and history and its a discussion without modern politics, so it should be a nice break from the heavier subjects.

    Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone here ever had thought about, or researched, ancient civilizations and the theories that surround them?

    As a basis for the discussion, if you dont really know much about it, I offer this article:

    http://www.crystalinks.com/ancientaircraft.html

    Its a quite wild theory for most people, but I find it interesting to talk about and discuss with people. Since many of the people here like to debate, are interested in history and warfare and have a generally open mind I'd just like to hear your thoughts around this topic.

    Of course spec ops surrender. If thats their last resort. In this case, chosing between either starting a war with Iran or surrendering is a no brainer even for a grunt, so I assume also spec ops would know that the only option, if they couldnt escape and evade, would be surrender.

    Quote[/b] ]And as for the Scandinavians gloating: Could you please stick with typical sports like icehockey or skiing?

    Feeling threatened? Hehe. Come on man, its a game, its supposed to be fun! Don't take it so serious.

    Question: When it comes to a nations territorial waters, do that nation have the right to detain foreign soldiers and ships that enter unannounced / unwanted? If so, what grants them this right (Treates, decrees etc)?

    Or something like these:

    Provided one guy jumped in to the water and swam away... Crewed by three men / boat. Pretty cool pieces of machinery.

    Two Swedish conscripts were sadly killed a couple of days ago in an accident involving two of these boats. They collided, one of them crashing into the rear of the other, killing two of the crew-men standing on it.

    Quote[/b] ]They were in the pipes? How were the pipes positioned, horizontal? Or vertical and they were popping up from them?

    I am not 100% sure of this, long time ago, but if I remember correctly:

    The pipes are stacked next to a big building, together with concrete slabs. The slabs are moved to block the entrance into the building (a garage like entrance) and the pipes are positioned horisontolly to let the shooter in each pipe cover a very narrow field of fire. Advantage of course being that they are very hard to hit at their end of the pipe, and also hard to spot in the blizzard with snow uniforms on. Its a pretty cool scene as far as I can remember.

    Bonko, that could be it. It was indeed a blizzard going on. If memory serves me correct.

    These US soldiers lay in the concrete pipes, piled on top of each other, and wait for the Russians to come closer. Then they open up with all they have.

    Dang... I have to figure it out. Very annoying :/

    Der Bastler: No, not Red Dawn... I own that one on DVD, and its not the one I am thinking about. I think its older than Red Dawn to be honest, and it didnt contain any pop kid actors as far as I remember smile_o.gif
