And yet again, from what I can see, it looks like both the American and British Tax Payer and Military are going end up footing the bill for the rest of the world. Just the way it is. People here need to understand that without either of them, most NATO coalitions would not have much impact...

I have a better idea! Lets just sit this one out! In my opinion, it's their problem. US forces are already stretched thin as it is, and I really doubt we could afford to divert a unit that would be headed to Afghanistan and send them to Libya, which suddently the international community feels...

A No-Fly zone is not as easy as simple as just setting up a Navy ship nearby and shoot planes. It would no doubt require Full-scale ground combat operations to deny those assets. The amphibious assault ship Kearsarge is nearby, and they had the 26th MEU, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., on board, but...

Well, for the most part, Combat operations in Iraq are done, so unless the protests get out of hand like elsewhere, there shouldn't be a problem for the NATO forces there. As for Libya, I can see them sending us back to "the Shores of Tripoli" for round Dos. If what I hear is also correct, they...

My opinions on cursing is...Who cares. Every other word that comes out of my mouth is a "bad" word, heck, as I'm typing this I have to concentrate on not doing it as it originally pops in my head. It's really hard..... Are they appropriate? Really? People need to chill out. Especially parents...

I have no problem with a natural death because well, it's just part of life. What bothers me is having my life cut short any other way. Not so much for myself, but mainly for the impact my passing may have on people I know. I had close calls like none other, both in normal life like almost...

I drink Pepsi like its cool. I can go for about 2 to 3 liters in a day. i see no problem with this, as I tend to be very active, and brush my teeth like I am supposed to.

Menudo. Beef stomach tripe with hominy in a broth with red chilis, lemon juice, oregano, cilantro and onions...Best thing ever!

Graduating Bootcamp and becoming a Marine. Never cried as much in my life.

While I've been glued to the internet watching the protests, I know very well that the odds are there will not be a big change in how Egypt is run. But now that people are on the streets, the rest of us start using our imaginations to predict a redrawing of the map. But big change is very...

The U.S. was just originally going after Japan. Of Course, Germany and Italy didn't take too kindly to the fact that the U.S. Had declared war on a member of the Axis, so they promptly declared war of the U.S., and vice-versa. Splitting the U.S. forces in half, with the Army in Europe and the...

I don't have a blog or diary of my time there. Too busy most of the time, and any spare time was spend either working out or getting some precious sleep. You can ask whatever you want, though.

It was kinda boring. I missed and Expert qualification by 5 points again for the third time in a row. Practice for Prom? explain, if you may.

How you been? Was at the rifle range all week. I was going insane without internet.

Personally, I love my M16A4. A bit bigger than the M4, but the longer barrel gives the 5.56mm round some more power. I use mine with an ACOG and a little box on the handguards called a PEQ16, a combination of flashligh and both red and IR laser. all standard issue. We really dont get very nice...
