What, is 911 not good enough for you?

REI has special staff that travels from store to store infiltrating the hourly retail employee ranks in order to fire those not corporate enough? Ummmmmm, yeeeeaaaahhhhh...

Canada sure is on a roll crashing their CF18's.

Or maybe you heard what you wanted because the name sticks after all the time you spent glued to a television watching Walter Cronkite. Whats clear is that your total understanding of the military is limited to recollections of second hand conversations.

The M60 is no longer in service, it was replaced almost 15 years ago. You know, he could have been talking about the M60 machine gun, which is still in service... The M60 is in use about as much as the M14, which is to say in very limited numbers. It was replaced as a GPMG with the M240 and as a SAW with the M249. The M60 started getting phased out starting in the late '80's. Line units no longer use the M60 and haven't for a very long time (at least 15 years). Hold out Coastie and Navy reserve units probably still have M60's in inventory as well as the E3 variants with SEAL teams. The only way Pat is going to get a Homosexual on an M60 next to him (assuming he wasn't a bologna titted, over the hill, pussy) would be if he were on a boat with reservists in which case it wouldn't be the life or death situation his test-of-fail implied.

I was there, DADT was a joke among most soldiers. Most were against DADT because of how absurd it was to allow someone to serve but not allow them to admit they were gay.

I spoke to my friend's son recently, who was on leave with the Navy. It was interesting to get his view of things. He spend the last year on ships with hundreds of Marines in the Gulf. His take was that basically nobody cares except the politicians and the upper brass who need to be politically sensitive. The guys on the ships have had it figured out for decades. The saying is "Queer on the pier but no one is gay when we're underway" - which of course they all just laugh at. And the marines were lining up to go see "Tina" - a Navy guy who loved to sing Tina Turner songs, as he had a side business keeping the troops in good morale. As always in regard to social change, Congress was behind the curve in public opinion and saw the changes coming. "Hey, soldier, would you rather have a) a gay person or b) no person on that M60?" Even the most strident gaytred fails this quiz. The M60 is no longer in service, it was replaced almost 15 years ago.

Its a sloppy fix for tools that aren't yet damaged\failed. I think the pommel can be bedded to take out all play and still have full adjustment. It just takes a little clay and some patience.

Its the means Frontpoint and Guide Jacket. Womens too I think.

I read it, but perhaps you'd like apologize for your thuggish behavior? Did you miss the date on that piece, Trotsky? Or the temperature in the upper right hand corner?

Prior to DADT homosexuals were barred from military service. Interestingly, Republicans wrote DADT and Clinton signed it into law. However, in 1993 Democrats had a majority in the house and senate. Its fun to watch each side (Democrats and Republicans) blame the other for DADT when it's viewed negatively but take credit when discussing how DADT allowed gays to actually serve.

um...no? nice "fuzzy math" though. who cares anyhow? water under the bridge - it's done and we can move on to arguing about hte next stupid issue. No fuzzy math about it, in the 17 years that DADT has been in affect more than half has been during Democrat administration and a two year super majority. A democrat administration signed DADT into law. Democrats are as much responsible for DADT as Republicans.

"Reasonable restrictions" on speech, right j_b?

There is/was a Democrat super majority in the house and senate, Democrats don't need the Republicans to repeal DADT. There are just as many Democrats blocking DADT as Republicans. And, lets not forget that it was Democrat administration that passed DADT.

Umm, you realize watching TV is a choice don't you?

Strange, I don't have cable/satellite TV and my kids don't bum TV and internet from my neighbors. I wonder if that's why my three year old can read? Nah, can't be. We get zero TV commercials and its free.

Off to the Supreme Court it goes.

Aren't you the guy that rarely missed an opportunity to inform everyone here that you'd retired early on the proceeds of stock-options grants? Or was that someone else? what would it change if what you say were true? Whether you spit or swallow.

Or just send your tools to Dane for his hammer and pick and have him bed your pommel while he's digging around in there.

Just a tip for anyone doing this, Make sure you fill any voids on the tool shaft with a water based filler such as clay or playdough. Also apply a release agent to the aluminum, if you don't its really easy to permanently join the two parts. If you use too much wait for the putty to get firm (45 minutes for the 10110) and then trim it with a razor knife.

Sounds like those broads failed the FourLoco challenge.

How many steel teeth are there inside the pommel?
