This poll is for my independent study for High School, and involves the Joint Chiefs of Staff's response to a probable threat from N. Korea. Involved in the response process is the United Nations respons to such a threat. I am seeking to gain an international perspective on this, and would greatly appreciate all responses. Please keep in mind that all posts, poll results, and personal messages, etc. can be used in my report, so please be mature with your responses. The scenario involves a general buildup of North Korean Forces along the border, and the construction of several new small airfields, hardened bunkers, and naval facilities. Sources say border clashes between N. Korean civilians and US and UN troops have been escalating. NKPA artillery units have been moving into positions in the mountains north of the DMZ. If you need more info, PM me and I'll do my best to respond in a timely and organized fashion. Thanks a heap! -Crew

Ok, my point is this. During a Civil war, the military typically does faction, and by saying that a military works in peacetime, you don't show me shit. The only way a military is proven is in battle, not by what kind of parade they can put on. Calling what I say a "load of crap" also clearly demonstrates why one is not able to be a moderator, as they are biased. Logistics would be a huge nightmare, and finding a common ground on some issure would be a serious problem. -Crew

Done and gone voted fer it y'all. -Crew

C'mon, hizzo, give up dat shizzo. -Crew

Ok, bear with me. I thought (to add realism) a few basic things could be made. Army foodsevice trucks + tents Army Radio Tents Other misc Army (and possibly other services) tents and vehicles that are for administrative purposes. Kinda dumb idea, but worth a shot. If you want me to elaborate, post it! -Crew

Is the russian tanker helmet more comfortable than the American one? The american one seems bulkier, but probably protects better against shrapnel and hard jolts. -Crew

Jeezus, Lee! That APC took one hell of a dump! -Crew

Commo Vehicle Some type of repair truck Field foodservice Hope I did this right -Crew (P.S.) I know this isn't all US Army, but I thought it would give you guys an idea of what I was thinking of.

I would post pictures, only i don't know how (sorry) can you show me? -Crew

I have: 1 SAS Dagger 1 WW2 Canadian "Seaforth Highlanders" canteen 1 M-1 Pot Helmet, as used in Vietnam A grab bag of misc. patches 1 Danish Air Force "Ike" jacket 1 Matchlock rifle (given to my great-uncle whilst in service in N. Africa during WW2 1 Musette Bag as used by paratroops in WW2 A closetfull of my fathers us Army stuff from the 60's (Third Armored Division "Spearhead") 1 Dummy Grenade Assorted spent casings 1 20 mm flak shell casing as used by German Flak batteries in WW2 1 British Army button as used by the British Army during WW2 (2 above found in Normandy) And a whole crapload of other militaria laying around, i'm sure. -Crew

To me, the answer is simple. No. If you unite a military, you will find that the nationalities will tend to be distrustful of each other, and the chain of command would be a nightmare. The only reason the allied alliance worked during WW2 is due to one sole purpose- to destroy the imperial Japanese and Nazi Germany regimes. Without a goal or purpose in mind, unifying to create a gigantic military would be stupid. And, if war does break out, you will face a situation like in all civil wars. The military will divide, and ultimately will have dire consequences for whoever chooses the losing side. (not that a usual war doesn't, but repercussions could be unfair.) Eizei, I dunno what your general problem is with the us, but you have got to open your closed mind. -Crew

Happy Thanksgiving, folks! For the cable-availiable and car lovers among us, American Muscle Car is on Speed Channel today. Enjoy all food consumed on this day, eh? Save me some cranberry salad. -Crew

Looks like an old chevy, or maybe a pontiac, with the chrome , fins, and bullets. Kinda goes against commie philosophy, duzzent it? -Crew

Good stuff so far, folks! Keep up the good replies! (Thrusts arms in air in triumph) I could get an A for this poll alone! J/K I'll keep this poll open another week or two, sound good? -Crew

Has anyone made a Sheridan tank? I'm looking for one for vietnam missions. Also, an "Ontos" vehicle or mule would be great. Wish i knew how to upload pictures. Oh, well. -Crew

Nice photos, INeo. Thx for staying on topic. -Crew

um, whoopty shit? -Crew

check out the new BMPs from dkm mod! -Crew

oops, sorry, didn't mean to fuck up anyone's day with a mis-post. -Crew

Just curious if anyone has or would want to start a dead addon dept for unfinished/ abandoned addons to be dropped off by one party at the site and downloaded to be finished by another party. I'm too lazy/dumb/stupid to do it myself, just an idea. -Crew

Whythankyou! -Crew

As far as weight goes, I have read that titanium is amazingly light, and i own a pair of titanium glasses, and it seems much lighter than other folks' glasses, but again, I'm no expert. Thanks for the replies, -Crew

No takers? Oh, well. -Crew

Sorry to skew on the topic a little, What is the advantage of a titanium helmet other than the fact that it is light and malleable (sp?) Does it absorb shock better? I know it's strong, but can it protect from the shock of a projectile? Also: How does one draw the conclustion that the first infantry would be destroyed by this unit in ww2 conditions? Or am i misunderstanding something? Great units!!! -Crew

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but isn't this too offtopic for this forum? A few months ago I tried to post a couple of topics about the enormous amounts of snow in colorado (10 ft+) and Denoir shut it down faster than you can sneeze. Gotta ask folks: wtf? -Crew
