Found the article I was thinking of. http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=5439 Nothing like the Pentagon giving out free surplus weaponry to the Police. Not that I have problems with cops but I do have the problem with the over Militarization of it especially with the backing of the Pentagon.

Indeed Reb I will have to find the Statistics but SWAT Callups have risen dramatically in the nation something like 100%+ increase.

Damn right I hope the little @#% hangs from the highest tree or lamp post based on whats available.

Just like I don't have to fire every round that comes out of a muntions factory to get a reasonalbe idea of what the reliability of the rounds are But you'd be amazed at QUITE how many.... :? :? :? It is alright English is obviously not your first language. :D The degradation with Eastern Bloc ammo...

IWD I would suggest you buy a large box of munition and fire through it. Especially former Warsaw Bloc munitions and just see how many "work".

Indeed Phylo I can't tell you how many Warsaw Bloc munitions about took my hand off or fouled a weapon. You can't count reliability based on a selection especially not Government. Think of this you want to make a poll to show the opposition to some war where would you poll in the US? Easy the most L...

What I find interesting is the opposition in this debate are trying to rationalize things. Did not someone say you could rationalize all the way down to hell? Rationalizing murder and government corruption in many ways confirms what is completely and utterly wrong with this country. If it had been o...

Reb none of that surprises me actually it fills in a lot of gaps for me about Waco. What I found interesting was how the Texas government started investigating and noticed huge holes in the stories but before it was able to continue they were shut down by the Feds.

Phylo Mormons were hunted down by the Federal Government and killed! In fact not so long ago in Missouri they repealed the law that made it legal to kill Mormons and seize their property. What I find sadly ironic is how much we helped the Federal Government before they tried stomping us out even aft...

How can a poll ever be useful unless you go out and ask every American? Polling is about achieving a political result there have been many elections where exit polling was obviously heavily slanted when certain candidates were given a 3:1 Advantage but ended up losing.

Just thought I would share some thoughts after reading the first two books of Livy. First off I'm surprised Rome survived as long as it did you could almost set your watch to the continous strife in the nation. What I don't get is how the nation was able to function when their military was at the co...

Spot on Phylo and Reb. Indeed Reb the Bushido Code was quite destroyed from its original intention which was to bring Chivalry back to Feudal Japan. What one needs to remember though is Bushido appeared quite late in Japan and was not widely accepted what you saw accepted more was Musashi's Philosop...

Reb I like to use Occam's Razor for explanation of 9/11 "The simplest answer is usually the correct answer." Like you stated it being perpetrated by Bin Laden and Friends as well as knocking down the Twin Towers seems highly improbable and not simple in the least. Therefore to acheive such...

He should have never had to surrender that is the unfortunate thing. Paulus just lacked backbone and refused to make the right order when Hitler and OKW refused to allow him to retreat he asked von Monstein who told him it was his own initiative and command so Paulus sat back on his pockets waiting ...

Fine, fine I yield my friend your Commissar Powers are too much for me! Now back to playing IL2 Sturmovik! For the Motherland!
