Have you ever thought of getting an education?

Apparently we went to different schools. Thank goodness.

[Fulbright]

Its all so terribly PC. The Era of Mass Terror arrived on September 11 and left 7,000 of our comrades vaporized in a holocaust at the heart of our greatest city.

[SLB]

Looks like PC mainia has hit FR.

[Fighting Falcons]

I agree 110%.

Onward Christian Soldiers, marching off to war.

[Straight Vermonter]

America must break its PC chains ...

Sounds like a tall order. Might take another one or two major attacks like Sept 11 to get us there. Hopefully, we break our chains anyway, and further attacks fail.

The polls indicate Americans are ready to dump the PC BS. The media will only let go of it kicking and screaming.

[Fighting Falcons]

Hope you are not implying that I am a fatalist.

All of this has been foretold and has been known for a long, long time. We have an undisputed right to self defense as the Bible clearly states.

That still does not change the outcome of His plan.

[Fighting Falcons]

So we might as well go ahead and roll over and play dead?

Absolutely not! The point is that no matter what we do it does not alter His plan. Read Revelations my friend

[cynicom]

Too late for change. The PC people have too strong a death grip.

The lines at the gates stretched for a dozen blocks, it took 3 or 4 hours for on duty personnel to creep in. Officers in uniforms with the proper stickers, haircuts, and ID all got the minute engine, chassis, and trunk inspection.

But were arms and live ammunition issued to all the personnel? Was the entire perimeter fortified manned and ready? Were all the unguard entrances guarded? I do not really want to see answers to these questions in an open forum just an honest appraisal forwarded to officers who can make a difference.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

[Travis McGee]

Of course not, they just got ultra anal at the gates.

The point being, that an act of terrorism 3,000 miles away totally paralyzed the military out west.

And let's not forget another immediate military effect of 9-11: it has forced us to hold back @25% of our navy and air forces for homeland defense, forces not available to go to defend Taiwan, etc.

[Diojneez]

There are a billion Moslems in the world. 19 of them is just about as statistically relevant to their ethnic group as a percentage as the 2 or 3 involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Who convinced 19 out of 19 muslims to destroy and die? Islamists, or perhaps Franciscan monks? Any other choices?

What is your agenda?

[TrueBeliever9]

I did not want you to miss this: post #40

[harpseal]

Every former combat soldier should take a ride arround the perimeter of their local bases and note the easy access to these bases, presuming one does not intend to drive through the main gate, or presuming one will drive through the main gate for that matter and then contact every person who knows what you did in combat who still has some current contacts in our armed forces. Let them know any chinks one finds in the base security. The knowledge gained from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Dessert Storm and every other combat engagement Americans have been in can be useful. Hell if I can see ways I could easily get in some base where I am fat fifty+ and very out of shape compared to my twenties someone bent on doing damage to the USA can see the same thing. If you see a cluster of military personnel who are "grenade bait" then let the CO know what you saw. If you see a gigh point where a Sniper could eliminate the security detail let the CO know. If you see a gate where the only security is a padlock and a truck parked accross the road let the CO know.

You will probably get a nasty reply but you may save some lives. Do NOT post that info on an open forum but let the CO know that there are a whole bunch of vetrans ready to make a public issue of lax security at his base if it gets hit. Let him know that his career will be in the toilet if he does not tighten up and something happens. Take a look and let the CO know or let someone who knows the CO know.

At Scoefield Barracks on December 7, 1941 there were quartermasters who did not wish to issue live ammunition to the troops after the attack started.

No one cares what the crazy terrorist sympathizers write.

Where criticism of Israel is concerned: look at the State Department's criticism of the past year. Everything for which Israel was criticized, the US now intents to do many times multiplied.

And if you need "comic" relief? Israel was criticized for "checkpoints" which was inconveniencing the terrorists attempting to enter Israel. Evil Israel put up checkpoints. LOL. Tell it to New Yorkers attempting to get into Manhattan.

[LSJohn]

bump for later

[norraad]

Oh, God, let's not "inconvenience" the terrorists, here, have some milk & cookies.

When will this PC psycho sucker soccer mom mindset end?

Today, three weeks after 9-11, military trained airline pilots are still not entrusted with pistols as a last line of defense to prevent another WTC level event.

The more things change....
