I saw this movie a couple of days ago and I loved it for it's honesty. It makes no apologies for either side of the war and shows both comitting atrocities. You also see former friends and neighbours ending up on opposite sides and trying to kill each other. There was one conversation between some South Korean soldiers that I thought was highly ironic. Went something like: "I hear the Commies slaughter the families of soldiers and cops" "That's why I'm going to kill every single last one I find - even kids"

Ah, I kinda wondered what that was...but I was too lazy to click it :P. Downloading .

Some random stuff from me:

Based on this 3.5 minute in game video, I would definitely pass

No offense....but in this case I think the opinion of a "seasoned pilot with both military and civilian experience" has much more credibility than yours.

Did you read the whole article?

*chuckle* he asks you to name one "terrorist" in Guantanamo and you ask him to provide the names of everyone there. Really, how asinine is that? Anyways, Bals has made my point much more eloquently than I could with my 3 hours' sleep.

Yes, with the word "terrorist" in between. what about the word "alleged" in between? I don't need to watch TV to see all the aspects of terror, I've just basically gone through a divorce

LMAO. Thank you, I needed a laugh this morning.

I'm sorry, did I just see the words "Guantanamo" and "following international laws" in the same sentence?

*chuckle*

That movie was worth it just for the hilarious Richard Cheese cover of Down with the Sickness . Never before has a horror movie made me laugh as much as this one

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tm....sa_dc_4 Yes, it sounds crazy, but the U.S. has done some crazy things in Latin America in the past.

Yes, given the history of Latin America, another assasination is just what is needed to fix the problem of a democratically elected leader *sigh* I guess when I saw the "Offtopic forum showing signs of stupidity" thread right above this one I should have taken it as a warning.

IR = Heatseeking and Heatseeking = IR.

Excerpt from "Killing Hope" by William Blum *edit* I also have a 40mb short docummentary that relates to this subject, if anyone is interested in hosting it, pm me.

One laced with LSD before a speech? one with explosives? or if Chavez had a beard like Castro, one laced with chemicals to make it fall off? The CIA has experience making such cigars you know

Maybe the Anthrax/VX gas/African Uranium line is getting a bit worn

Not even the Russians are putting ERA on their IFVs, and I think we all know how much they love ERA. I think the BTR-T is an interesting concept - uparmour an old tank chassis and turn it into an IFV. from what I read it's only drawback is that it's somewhat slower than other IFVs

About the only similarity to OFP that I see is that the UAZ looks like a UAZ.

According to Tom Cooper, who has written a few books on Iranian air power, they have completely reverse-engineered the Aim-54, and are producing it at low rate. (apparently comparable to the Aim-54C) See here (may have to register)

Russia and China went sour after the death of Stalin. Mao took offence to Kruschev's de-Stalination of the USSR, and things got pretty hostile. I've seen a few Soviet propaganda shorts about the Chinese threat, mostly involving the border skirmishes Hellfish mentioned. My mother also told me when she was young she was very prejudiced against Chinese because of this, which only changed when she went to Cuba where there were a lot of Chinese as well as Russians.

Thompson 'shot himself on phone' Strange, the news story I posted earlier said he did not leave a suicide note.

And he may yet make another bang!
