  1. The customers like to think they are getting a special buddy deal. If they can talk the dealer down and the dealer gives them an OTD special price, the customer feels good about it - even if the special OTD price is the same as they would have gotten from an OTD tag.

  2. It's going to be a while, I've still got 4 years left in college. There are patriotic motives, but my decision was also affected by selfish interests. JAGs get some of the best experience available right out of law school, and Uncle Sam can help with those loans that are going to start piling up.

    Plus, maybe if I get to know the right guy they'll let me shoot the fifty. I've always wanted to fire a warning shot across the bow.

    Yeah, but the Army understands this stuff. And they will pay the bucks up front.... You didn't know that?

    But if you want to shoot the fifty, it should be from the turret in Baghdad. Doesn't sound like you expect any combat experience. Back to square one....

  3. I'm behind ya Mars! :rolleyes:

    I say we put Mike.357 in charge of the beverage committee. I'll volunteer to handle the nekkid dancing girls. :2cents:

    Hey, this sounds like a done deal. :clap:

    I've probably organized a couple of dozen Civil War ..... Oops... War of Northern Aggression... reenactments. Y'all don't mind a bunch of drunk guys running around with .577 muskets do ya'? Some will be in Gray and some in Blue.

  4. Would that be a mental disability :rolleyes:

    I wonder after reading a scientific report on PTSD earlier today.

    FWIW, I plan on enlisting in the military after I graduate law school

    That's very imaginatively patriotic. If you had actually done that before going to law school, you could have explained to your fellow students and professors why they are full of ****.

    Let me know when you enlist. I have a gift I send to military guys as they deploy.

  5. By the way, I wasn't trying to imply that most soldiers didn't serve honorably in Vietnam, I have several relatives who did, with quite a few purple hearts among them.

    I'm also not defending Geraldo revealing troop movements on live TV.

    That doesn't make me think that the American public has no need to know what's going on during a time of war.

    Well, the My Lais were an infinitesimal percentage of what happened in Vietnam. And even that event had a reason. But people never in uniform probably have never researched it enough to understand the situation.

    The problem is that if you do not have combat experience, you are unlikely to be able to interpret properly the events reported. It's like the anti-gunners imagining blood in the streets if we let common people carry a gun. But it never happens. Reports from the battlefield have the non-combat folks imagining all sorts of horrors. There are horrors, but they are not the ones the public imagines from the anti-war liberal "reporters."

    BTW, My last combat wound was actually in Cambodia. Come over and I'll show it to you. I'll even let you kiss it. It was a Forrest Gump wound. :rolleyes:

  6. Hell, I say lets go on to Iran and reinstate the draft.

    I never liked the draft, although I was un-draftable for at least three reasons. The draft was unfair to a lot of folks. So naturally I volunteered when asked to do so.... But I do favor universal military service. It would probably eliminate 80% of the whining liberals and 90% of the anti-gunners.

  7. I say Mars organizes this event!

    If I organize it, it's gonna be no farther west than Knoxville and will be located next to water and a place to shoot. I'm thinking of a guy who has a great farm in the county near Rogersville on the Holston River. Camping only, but Rogersville has lots of places for Ramada Rangers.

    And yes, there will be dancing girls and FA will be allowed.

    Hell, I might sell tickets to the public. :rolleyes:

  8. Also, think about all the truly terrible things that our troops did in Vietnam. A measure of accountability isn't a bad thing.

    Hey, I served and got wounded in Vietnam twice and I volunteered. You are 23 years old and obviously don't know a ******* thing about war. The vast majority of Vietnam vets faithfully served their country and don't deserve crap from effete know-it-all snobs like you. All you know about it is how to run your mouth.

  9. Mods don't get to state their opinion too?

    Sharon B. Pollard vs. E.I. DUPONT DE NEMOURS, INC

    "While Pollard was working on “C†shift, one of the assistant operators, Rory Bricco, refused to take direction from plaintiff because she was a woman. He placed a Bible on her desk open to the passage “I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over man. She must be silent.â€

    Bricco is a dingbat.

  10. youre welcome anytime my friend

    What's a good time when you are high on funds and I am low on funds? :P

    I am not a chef, but I believe that the purpose of wine in the cooking process is to break down the fibers in the meat, therefore making it more tender.

    Some of the wine flavor will effect the meat. The alcohol cooks off.

    Best to drink heavily.

    I think there is something to say for that last line.

    Yeah the idea of the wine is to break down the connective tissue over time.

  11. While I've always liked Harmon, he has a tendency to take the "pretty boy" parts.

    However, his character on this show, makes the show. If he had stayed "retired" a couple of seasons ago, I would have probably quit watching it.

    It would help if you want to make a point to post in a standard script rather than obnoxious weird stuff. You want to make a point or an affectation? Of course I can correct that that, if you like.
