No, it's NOT The Left that censors. Is THIS the kind of action that MLK or Gandhi would have endorsed? I do not call this kind of action "civil disobedience". THAT would imply CIVILITY. To all those there- Nice work, children.http://news.

Friended you because I saw you on "Conservatives" and you seem like an interesting fellow who I'd get along with easily.

[ncmaitred]

Welcome, and thank you sir! I beleieve you're right about getting along, don't know about the interesting part. ;)

That Sgt. Hartman icon says otherwise as to your interesting character.

Full Metal Jacket = <3

"This is my rifle, this is my gun..."

Actually, the pic is from Mail Call, but FMJ was one GREAT flick.

R. Lee rocks.

Really? Cause theres a picture of Hartman in that SAME pose from the movie. Good thing I was filled in.

[ncmaitred]

Really? now I'm curious. I was told it was the other way. Doesn't really matter, though- Gunny is Gunny, and was Gunny in The Boys From Company C, too. I love the Gunny!

[heart_of_sword]

How can anyone hate THE Gunny? A question that will forever escape the human mind.

I've got a few going RIGHT now, brother! LOL

Question that I should probably know - were you ever/are you in the military? Just out of random curiousity.

[ncmaitred]

No. Just study the military, and history, primarily the last 3 centuries, but anything can catch my eye for a while. My studies also include ordnance, especially the last 150 years or so.

Now that's interesting. An artillery man. I'm more of a calv and infantry type person, though my dad was a tanker for the past 3 decades before he retired. I have a pretty long military history, so perhaps we should share our cyber nerd war stories and stradegies sometime haha.

[ncmaitred]

Cool! Actually, I was using ordnance in it's broadest sense of any military equipment- weaponry, vehicles, ships, and esp. aircraft. One grandfather worked Grumman from 38-75, great uncle there from 37-75, other grandfather was Fairchild Republic from 42-84. Aircraft brat.

[heart_of_sword]

Agh interesting. I'm more of an army person. My father was a tanker like I mentioned. My grandfather on my mothers side was an SS Officer tank commander who actually fought in Statlin Grad. My great grandfather was a German Infantry man in WWI and before that I lost track. Regardless, I come from a very long line of military men.

My hat is off to your family for their service. Your dad wind up at Ft Knox, then?

Thats where he currently works as a civilian contracter.
