Good thing I don't wear suspenders or I'd have black-n-blue marks on my chest from hookin my thumbs under em an letin em snap.

My son was a part of this test at the Kauai site. One of the Engineers that built and launched the target missile -- sorry just a Dad puffing his chest out a little.

Congratulations! Well deserved puffing of chest.

First time I came to Ft Huachuca the Safeguard Command was here and they were working hard until Jimmie axed the program.

[Redcloak]

That would have been a miscreant test.

Looks like we're preparing to knock NK's missile out.

Yes, I wonder if this test was deliberately timed, just to send a message to the North Koreans?

[HereInTheHeartland]

"If we whack NK's missile, you'll hear the libs screaming."

If we don't whack NK's missle, they will scream. They will say; "See, told you that SDI doesn't work"

Or if NK doesn't launch, they will scream. "See, you right wingers are war monger's, you over reacted. NK is just a peacefull country"

I'm sure others on this board could add to the list.

And the war games in the pacific 'Operation Valiant Shield.'

And the war games in the pacific 'Operation Valiant Shield.'

Yes, that too. When I was in the Air Force, they had an exercise every year in Korea called Team Spirit. I wonder if they still have it? I always thought it was not only for training, but to let the North Koreans know we were still there.

Good on Ya!

Only got as far as Life (the 3 deadly sins caught up with me; girls, cars, and a job to support the first two).

Came back as an adult in '86 and haven't left.

"Our missile defense will one day intercept and latch onto the warheads and guide them back to their point of origin."

Now THAT's what I call "the right stuff!"

[SierraWasp]

Of course as soon as we get it perfected the NYSlimes will publish all the specifications so the hated United States can't lord it over the rest of the world instead of the UN!!! Either that, or some dumb spy will sell us all our!!! Probably another liberal from "The People's Republic of Davis, CA" like that sickassed Walker dude in the 1980's...

i am not worried about the LIbs..more about china. NK is just a little satellite of China that rattles our cage and the Chinese observe.

Heard a good comment the other day on radio that we should start pressuring china via our economic interests...wallmart, mcdonalds, cheap chinese goods importers, etc. That may help china to tell Kim Mentally-ill Jong to slow it down.

[SandRat]

There is is a strategic worry that scares the living day lights out of China a Re-Armed and Nuke Capable Japan. Have you noticed the new JDF equipment comming on line and the increased JDF participation in Training with the US as well as JDF troops for the first time since the end of WWII are in IRAQ. All that has got to have China sweating.

You know if this wasn't all so deadly series..it would be like a fun video game..but it IS series. Bush seems to be handling this balancing act very well ( especially since he is only a dumb cowboy, ha). Cheney is very level. And I am soooo glad we have Condi whose educ background is the soviet Union and China.

Yeah, japan is very politely handling their defense capabilities...this is an end run way around for us that most never expected cause of the japanese past "military limitations". Who would have thought in WWII that now we work with the Japs side by side?

I thank God every day that Clintoon is not there now and have a healthy fear of the dummies controlling our defense.

[SandRat]

I thank God every day that Clintoon is not there now and have a healthy fear of the dummies controlling our defense. Fear the Witch coming next and the RATS taking one or both Houses - As to the Dummies controlling get a copy of Treason by Ann C and read it to know that they should never ever again have control. Another good one is The Real Jimmy Carter to know what a treacherous putz he is and always was.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

i LOVED Treason and a fellow Freeper, Chieftain gave me a CD to listen to..it was great to hear her read it!

I am now borrowing Blood Stripes from above Freeper which is terrific! The Marine is an unbelievably good author...I liken his style to Hemmingway in clarity and well, everything.

What frightens me about the Dummies is not even their anger or rage. But they are really very infantile and stupid. Stupid and angry is a very lethal combo. An example is of course, Carter.( will get your rec book) What frightens me is their passive aggressive style....also thinking of that Black( duh, African American) song of the 60's "Backstabbers".
