Here's another: BACON.
September is a big month for them - it is their 5th year anniversary of rulership. I found this info here:
Sept. 25, 1996 --- The radical Islamist Taliban militia moved into the Afghan capital of Kabul.
Sept. 27, 1996 --- In Kabul, victorious Taliban militia troops displayed the bodies of murdered former Afghan President Najibullah and his brother hanging outside the former presidential palace.
OUR MILITIAS WILL.
Keep asking for the pics that you want. Somebody will post them. One of my favourites is the B-2 with the message: "IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU'RE F&CKED!"
When you do a search for replies to your posts, you're gonna get mine, pal, so I reccommend that you change yer screen name here.
After all, I am...
Fear not, FlyVet! The democRATS have been trying to kill the BUFF for 50 years! They lost!
The 'Old Dog' is gonna rain some HELL, yet again! It always amazes me that the democRATS never understand.
Maybe they just hate America....FRegards

On Friday, September 28, nationally syndicated conservative talk host Hugh Hewitt described this photo on his radio show, citing FreeRepublic as his source, and giving credit to the post by ASA Vet in particular.
Since then, Hugh's webmistress, Lynne (the WebXena) has reported HUNDREDS of requests for a link to this photo, and has posted a link to a DIFFERENT FR THREAD, with an image posted by FReeper archy, on www.HughHewitt.com.
An earlier thread with this image was started by RaceBannon on 9/27/2001 at 12:30:59 PDT.
1 - Is there an EARLIER post of this image anywhere on Free Republic?
2 - Does anyone know who "Bob McCown" is?
(MOST images posted seem to have the name "Bob McCown" printed in the lower right-hand corner.)
3 - Who is the REAL creator of this masterpiece? (And, can you PROVE it?)
Thank you.
Just as the "SoreLoserman" graphic, which was popularized here by our own Registered, gave FreeRepublic.com EXTRAORDINARY press coverage, perhaps we can also get some very good (free) PR from THIS photo, too.
I can find no earlier reference to it posted anywhere ELSE on the Internet. Can YOU?
I knew that the B52 H-models were the only ones still in service, but thought it might have been from an older photo. When I put aside my old Army greens for USAF blue, my first squadron commander was a former USAF BUF enlisted crewdog, who had been the tailgunner in a D-model, among his other perversions. Having shanghaied me for training commo procedures to all the rocket scientists in the squadron, I eventually found myself signing for things [including some 4 million dollars of radios] that really required an officer's accountability and was armtwisted into taking a butterbar, thogh it looks likely that the recent situation may see me back in a green suit again.
But at one point when tasked with DEA support and we were offered the opportunity to draw upon stored USAF aircraft assets at the Davis-Monthan boneyard [in which we were expected to ask for O2s or Beavers] I suggested to The Boss that we request a 3-ship flight of B52s for our counternarcotics support program, since DEA was funding fuel and other expenses from their budget. We passed the idea on to both our DEA liason, who thought the idea funny as all get out and passed it on to his higher, and to our own wing weenies, who did not. Sorry, no arclights on suspected crackhouses. But the idea had possibilities, and the public relations aspect alone would have made the effort worthwhile.
You know that there are 4th-generation crewdogs in those H- model birds now?
