American Sniper: Brutal Honesty, Devastating Images; Unexpected Greatness

Murph, for every hero there are dozens of unsung heros. War makes regular people do things that are heroic. It is only the people who have a CO that has writing skills and the desire to write a recommendation for a medal. Too often the guy writing has poor skills and the medal is downgraded.
I tell you this from personal experience.

Murph, like KT I have not seen the movie. I have however been in a war and know that there are many unsung heros. I look forward to seeing it when it is out on DVD.

KT, You and I seem to think alike. You are right about the last resort. Like you said we destabilised the area. We also cost the American a couple trillion tax dollars.

Chris Christie Courts Pro-Measles Voters

Thanks, I don’t get it here because I can’t stay up that late.

Tillis is the guy who beat Kay Hagen. He is a carpetbagger. From Tenn. Now in NC.
I guess NC is happy with him. Crazy as it is, he must have had backing from some rich guys (Koch maybe).

What kind of people are the republicans sending to congress? He said: “As a matter of fact I think this is one where I think I can illustrate the point,” he recalled telling her. “I don’t have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy as long as they post a sign that says we don’t require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restroom. The market will take care of that. It’s one example.” (Is requiring a sign not a regulation?)

I’ll ask why he wants to regulate resturants to put signs up saying their workers don’t have to wash their hands , but not to make them wash hands? This guy is an idiot!
It figures that he is a republican.

Ad, you hit the nail squarely on the head when you said “The only problem is when Obama comes out for something that’s for all of the public’s good, then we get to watch the spectacle of Republicans cheerleading against that.”

It doesn’t matter what Obama wants the GOPers are going to take the opposit opinion! Maybe Obama should say lets keep the minimum wage down, lower taxes on the rich, and stop listening to scientists.

Weekend Music Thread – Ready to Play

Fergie, New Englanders are hearty bunch. We embrace our weather whatever it may be. It is something we have no control over so why not enjoy it.

So good to “see” you here again.
Peace

NFL, A Nonprofit?

Ad, I think our government has to change some of the rules that allow corporations to get away with this fraud.

PPO, good day !
I understand some administration costs but there should be a limit, don’t you think?
Thanks for the response, my friend.

Bizarro Romney Announces, “Me Want to Be President So Me Not Run!”

I for one am glad that he is not running. I hope we never hear any more from Mitt.

» Posted By Nirek On January 31, 2015 @ 6:12 am

I wouldn’t write Mittens off yet, Ad. Either he will rise up in the polls and change his mind or he has made a deal with Jeb to be his VP. If he were to become VP, my wife predicts the potus would die in office of an unknown cause and Mitt will get his wish. Remember that he really really wants to be president.
Just food for thought.

Part Two Of The Life Of A Draftee

Aquarious, it is comments like yours that help me heal my inner wounds. Thank you for the kind words. I have to agree that it is a disgrace that the GOP blocks progress for veterans benefits and help.

Peace plus love equal happiness.

» Posted By Nirek On February 21, 2015 @ 11:57 am

Thank you, KT. That is kind of the point of my being a draftee. I did not have a choice. Other than going to Canada. But I really didn’t even have that as a choice, because I could not disgrace my Dad. He was a career soldier and veteran of WWII and Korea.

Peace
