I'm afraid we're heading down a road that will once again test the mettle of this nation.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Those of us who bothered to look at the link, or are familiar with this individual posters repeated habit of referring to North as a Colonel, would know that the title of Colonel was not included in the byline of this article. Those of us who served on active duty know very well that when informally addressing a Lieutenant Colonel that he/she can be called Colonel. Ditto for the ranks of Lieutenant Junior Grade - Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander - Commander, Lieutenant General - General.

However, those of us who served on active duty know that official titles are used on documentation, articles, etc. Those of us who have met North know that he does not refer to himself as a retired Colonel. Those of us who served on active duty with Marines who served with North or with North himself know that North would not have been selected for Colonel even if Iran Contra had not occurred; read The Nightingale's Song if you doubt me. North was not held in high regard by the powers that be at HQMC. Very few if any people who contemplate committing suicide and then are hospitalized as suicide risks, like North, get selected for Colonel. That's a red flag in an OQR. North had numerous red flags in his OQR and if you had the opportunity to read his fitreps you'd realize that. If you had served a single day in the Marine Corps on active duty you'd realize that. If you had served a single day in the Marine Corps then you'd understand what attention to detail is all about. It's quite obvious that you did not.

To put this explanation into terms that you'll be able to comprehend, pound sand puke.

A careful reading of this week's story -- now repeated in numerous outlets -- reveals that "Detainee 063" is subjected to treatment that is barely harsher than a military boot camp: standing for prolonged periods, isolation, removal of clothing, forced shaving of facial hair, playing on "individual phobias" (such as barking dogs), "mild, non-injurious physical contact such as grabbing, poking in the chest with the finger and light pushing."

This is important to note. I read the Time article the other day and was personally surprised at how benign the interrogation techniques were.

We have no way of knowing whether you served or not. I know one thing for sure. Just about every post you enter is a red flag. I'm glad you have FREEP to channel your anger, hostility, and insecurities.

Congressman Duncan Hunter is a strong proponent of fighting to secure the U.S. border, too.

Duncan Hunter for President 2008!

Journalists are spies is absolutely correct. And our military is not a social project like the Democrats want it to be.

I hate to say it, and it's an unpopular thought, however I feel the quickest way to stop the Democrats from meddling in military operations is to bring back the draft.

Ayatollah Jannati at a Tehran Friday Sermon: By Voting You Will Be Shouting a Gigantic "Death to America"

The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon by Secretary of the Iranian Guardian Council Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati. Channel 1 of the Iranian TV aired this sermon that was given at Tehran University on June 10, 2005

Ayatollah Jannati: Our main issue is the elections. This is an important issue. In fact, this will be the most important issue next Friday. I expect that our beloved people [will participate]. Imam Khomeini also expected this, as well as our dear leader [Khamenei]. I am confident that the Hidden Imam also expects you to participate en masse. In this way, you will be shouting a gigantic "death to America" at the polling stations.

Crowd: Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Death to America

Allah willing, eventually these actions by our people will lead America to death, and to the killing fields, and to the eternal Hell it has prepared for itself. I am positive of this. [http://www.memritv.org/transcript.asp?P1=716 ]

What is a fifth columnist?

[A.A. Cunningham]

You have your head firmly planted in your dirt chute. That we both know for certain.

A FOIA request, which you are free, as well as highly encouraged, to make, will confirm my military service. Would a FOIA request confirm that you're a pogue?

The "angry vet" routine is getting old. Get a grip.
