Tree togs are a little cumbersome for garrision and CQC environments. At any rate the military is geared now towards close quarters combat in cities and not so much towards the Asian/European arena.

I'm sure the Germans didn't think it was a dishonorable cause. I'm pretty sure they thought they were right. But what would you know about any of that? Clue me in on your background Slothy ol' boy.

Double post

Lemme guess... Georg W. Busch? Pretty snappy with that Nazi knowledge, eh Greg? I bet the only loyalty you have is to your palm.

The Waffen SS was several divisions of hardcore frontline combat troops. Sort of like the Marine Corps or Ranger Regiment on steroids. They fought with great distinction on almost every front the Germans opened. There were portions of the SS that were involved in secret police activity, and used as concentration camp guards, but these guys are distinctly different than the WAFFEN SS. How can anyone forget they failed? If they hadn't you would be speaking deutsche right now and goose stepping to the office. Or maybe worse. I think everyone can agree that it's a good thing it didn't go that way for us.

You should just drive to the base of Silver Peak, park at the meadow and then hike up the north side. It's quick and you'll get 1200 feet of turns as opposed to 15 turns.

They're night vision goggles.

It is kind of funny how our uniforms have continually grown to mimic the Waffen SS style favored by the elite German Divisions in the 2nd World War. I doubt that is by coincidence either as most military people I know greatly admired the military arm of the Germans and their tactics. Despite a sick leader and a corrupt agenda the Germans of that era were no doubt the most decisive military power in modern history.

Forwarded to me from undisclosed author. I am not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...however, I think it is vitally important that in my head I have these matters in proper perspective... * Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death in human meat grinders on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... *Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings, while their relatives were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped of, and even beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam's sons, as well as other Administrators and military personnel raped and sodomized Iraqi girls, some as young as 8 years old, on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Saddam's regime indiscriminately put to death millions of Iraqi citizens on a daily basis, during the term of his brutal dictatorship, as evidenced by the mass graves recently uncovered in various parts of Iraq...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Terrorists recently exploded several car bombs in Baghdad, killing 17 innocent Iraqi children and several dozen innocent Iraqi citizens...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Terrorists have been killing American/Coalition soldiers on a daily basis since we sent our troops, many of whom gave their lives on Iraqi soil, used US taxpayer dollars to liberate the Iraqi people...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... * Four Americans were killed in Fallujah, their bodies were burned, mutilated, dragged through the streets and hung on a bridge...while Iraqi people cheered and stoned the bodies...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY... AND NOW, A FEW IRAQI PRISONERS HAVE BEEN HUMILIATED (poor babies)...A PAIR OF WOMEN'S Underwear PUT ON THE PRISONERS HEADS, A FEW NAKED PHOTOGRAPHS...AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE AND THE ENTIRE ARAB COMMUNITY GO Ballistic...GIVE ME A BREAK!!! As said, I don't condone what happened to the prisoners...but until the Iraqi's and the Arab Community gets their act together...I wish the American news elite would stop being part of the problem and stop using this story to the benefit of the Arab community. I DON'T WANT MY PRESIDENT TO APOLOGIZE TO THE ARABS FOR ANYTHING! WE ARE AT WAR! If anyone has access to the President or their Senators and Representatives, you might want to forward this if you agree, if not just Delete.

But buy my DVD first

OOOOOOOOH KAY!

There's some serious fucking dickheads on this site. I just want you to know that I fear none of you and respect very few of you. You sound like mealy mouthed turd eaters to me. Ronald Reagan was a good man, and your attempts to discredit his legacy simply reflect on how pitifully unimportant most of you really are.

That's what Mt Si looked like at one time.

Or you could buy a Daewoo like Cpt Caveman used to have and just go for it!

I used to hike way too fast, but I don't remember seeing anything except what was directly in my line of sight. Now I'm trying to make up for all those lost years. If I'm not with my wife though I have a hard time not chasing rabbits on the trail or routes.

No I came home on the 21st. I'm just one of the prototypes for thick necked knuckle draggers. I think there are other similar cyborg models out there.

There is really no such thing as large numbers of Iraqi's who don't want us over there. More like some journalists who want to come home and their careers depend on them making up news as they see fit. The mural is in the CPA HQ, but that should change come June 30th.

I looked at the Tooth yesterday. There were some serious looking types toting ice axes, hiking way too fast, and such nonsense in that area, but I am not certain if that was their destination. You can stil ski all the way down to the base of alpental valley right now. Same with Silver Peak. All the way to the meadows.

The mural is in Saddams main palace in Baghdad. It is a tribute to the troops fighting overseas and leans heavily on the image of the Twin Towers.
