What is the MOS job for the army soldier who is the Hummer driver? I was wondering if this is a specific MOS or just 11x infantry and you just switch around who is driving. Most info i have about the army or any military is band of brothers and generation kill. But I am very interested in joining, probably as a wheeled vehicle mechanic, but I really would like to see combat. Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for any info. -David

should the british army landrover be beefed up like the us army hummer?? maybe a bigger engine or altered for various different terrain.?
Has anyone seen the Army H3 Hummer? What is your opinion of the new advertisement campaign for the US Army? What is the best advertisement for the US Army?
Why do the army use Hummers? It seems very ineffecient for the army to use hummers. Since they use so much fuel so quickly, for a hummer to run out of fuel In a war zone/battlefield, it would be somewhat counter-productive.
Are US Army Hummers Available for to the Public for Purchase? Just curious also if they are what is the price? and if you could list some specs that would be great? Thank You
As Commander-in-Chief Did Clinton Call the Army if he Wanted a Hummer in the Oval Office? Did he admire the vehicles we had for our soldiers? Wasn't that Clinton's strategy for defeating Al Qaeda--- Hummers in the Oval Office? http://www.inetours.com/Las_Vegas/images/Tours/Hummer/Hummer_3185.jpg
Why don't the British army use Hummers instead of current vehicles like the new LPPV ? There must be a few reasons but i cant understand whats stopping this? i thought money would be the reason , the goverment bend the truth with there rubbish, its a shame for the lads out there the landrovers are a a joke to i.e.d`s. im going into the RLC this year myself , i hope buy the time i get out there things will have changed.
I just seen 4 Army Hummers driving near my home? Man they were deep man lol I'm just wondering why the Army is in my area? Are they training and their in a neighborhood just riding around lol Nearest Base is the Army National Guard Its like a mile or 2 from me It was just weird, That's the first time I've ever seen those hummers driving around in a neighborhood like that. I thought Martial Law was going on lol
r army hummers safe? i just got done reading my war and i was worried anout how he said that he wouldnt rejoin the army because of he would be in a hummer instead of a striker. and he said how they were always comeing in burnt up. i wanted to be a MP but now i am on the fence because the way he decribes, they suck pretty bad
What will happen to the U.S Military use of the Hummer now that GM sold it to the Chinese? I'm worried when I heard the Chinese are buying Hummer. I mean this vehicle is used by the U.S Military and we're giving out our technology to the Chinese. What will this mean to the Army?
My husband wants me to give his Commanding Officer a hummer? My husband is in the Army, and his CO called a few minutes ago and asked my husband to get a soldier to go to the motor pool and get a hummer (or humvee to military folks) to the Company area ASAP. My husband has no soldiers available, and he asked me to do it. I don't feel comfortable driving one of those, but the commander said he didn't care if I did it. Should I get the hummer and give it to the CO?
What is the point of owning a hummer? i can see if maybe you are in search and rescue or the army...but why would you buy one of these things? do you have a family of 20 that needs to be transported across mountains and lakes everyday? is it really because you think it makes you look cool?
How do I go about becoming a helicopter medic in the Army? I want to ride in the back of helicopters and pick people up from the battlefield vs being on the field at all times like a field medic The risk balances out I guess, you could either suffer a quick death in the back of an unarmed helicopter or a slower one in the back of a Humvee(I'd be afraid to be cooped up in a hummer)
Why were tere so many army cars on the NJ Turnpike today? It was a line of, hummers, amphibian vechiles, and big transporting trucks carring Humvee.
what do humve or hummer mean? I know they are some sort of suv originally built for the army but what do the letters h.u.m.v.e and h.u.m.m.e.r actually stand for?
Are army landrovers a lot less superior to those US hummers? they look a bit budget in comparison on the news. Whatchu talkin about Obama
How much more gasoline does the military use in during war time over Peace Time activities.? We are told that the price of gas is so much because demand is up. The Chinese are purchasing more gas, the Indians are purchasing more gas. But no one ever says, the US Army is purchasing more gas. Hummers in the US get 9 MPG I am guess a fully armored Hummer gets 1 to 2 MPG (based on Hummer Limos). I have been trying to figure out, just how much demand has increased, because of military operations.
What are some everyday cars/vehicles that are used in the police force, army etc.? Im curious, im thinking hummer (military), charger ( police ).
What branch of the military should I join? At first I just wanted to join the army for the sweet hunting clothes. But now I figure if I join the military, I want to fly jets, shoot cool machine guns, and drive tanks. I also want my own Hummer with the machine gun on top of the roof. What branch should I join if I want to fly jets, shoot cool guns and drive tanks? And don't forget I want a hummer.
Did MC Hummer say it best about the insurgents? First, they are not "insurgents". Stop listening to rhetoric and instead read your dictionary: an insurgent is "an opponent to a constitutional government". The US is NOT the constitutional government of Iraq; they are an occupying army, hence those fighting the US are a _resistance_. Second, if you wonder why they are losing, read on: 1) The US military is poorly equipped for urban warfare (you can thank Chicken George and Dumb Donald Rumsfelch for that). 2) You can't win a fight on the other guy's territory, nobody ever has except by genocide (ie. the British in Tasmania) 3) The US desperately tries to avoid even a single death, meanwhile the opposition are _willing_ to die in a 20:1 ratio. Even with that numeric advantage, the US doesn't have the heart, spine or stomach to fight a war of attrition. The resistance does. In any fight, winning requires being able or willing to do what the other guy won't. The US clearly doesn't have the balls to do what it needs to do to win. And anyone who whines about the resistance's tactics (as some "answerers" have) is an idiot. These whiners seem to expect the resistance to walk in a line like the British redcoats, walking along and making it easy to shoot them. As Donald Rumsfelch said, "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you'd like to have". The resistance have AK-47s, IEDs, suicide bombs and Molotov cocktails; guerilla war is the only way the resistance can win, so someone has to be stupid and infantile not to expect it. Let's not also forget: the tactics of guerilla warfare (hit and run, shrapnel bombs, dressing in civilian clothes) were tactics the _US_ used to fight the British. And now these crybabies soil their diapers when an resistance uses the same tactics against them? If they don't like it, shouldn't do it, or better yet, go home and stop whining about it.
which is most expensive hummer or range rover? i think i will go in for a range rover than a hummer becouse its been used by the US Army for war
what is the name of the song that comes in the starting of the movie the ironman? there is a song in the starting of the movie when they are going in the army hummer
How do I stop the army from stopping at my house? BUT, before that they keep calling me and texting me. The staff sargent asked me to join and he wanted to see me. I was making up an excuse that I didn't have a ride. So, the staff sargent sent a ride to pick me up. The next day, I got home from HS and there were 2 military Hummers and guys with digital uniforms. They wanted to talk to me about joining. They wanted me to get in their hummer and drive to the nearest recruit station just outside of town. Yes, I live near an army base. I told them that I already made up my mind. I want to go to college. How did the army get my information? WHo's selling them my information? In June, I went to get my permit license. Is this where the army got my information? I don't remember signing up for selective service. I'm only 17.
Will the Army make you work a MOS that you weren't trained for upon deployment? I am 28 years old and I originally wanted to join the Navy. I was recently told by a recruiter that all the ratings I am interested in are overmanned. The main reason I am interested in the military is because of the college loan repayment program (65Koffered by the Army and Navy) and of course the technical training (I am really into electronics technology). I am not interested in Officer careers because I want the technical training of enlisted jobs. Plus, how could I boss the enlisted around when I have never been in their place? Morally, I couldn't be an Officer. I have my doubts about America (my 6 figure education debt WTF?!?, health insurance problems, and the fact that 911 WAS a controlled demolition). I am wary of joining the Army. I want to fix electronics but I don't really want to kill anyone. Will they make me search caves, kick in doors, or drive a Hummer through landmines?
Why are soldiers wounded in combat not discharged from the Army IRR? 3 of my fingers were blown off in Iraq when a RPG hit my Hummer along with my face being disfigured, and lost most of the tissue in my right leg. I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorder. Despite this they refused to med board me and after my ETS date I went in to the IRR. It only took 30 days after my physical for the VA to rate me at 100% but despite my notification to HRC the Army career counselors continue to harass me and even approached members of my family. It really p---s me off when those creeps at HRC lie about the thousands in IRR disabled. I get muster that I have to come to with a cane but the real worst part is that I must chose work a day for free or give up your disability for a month. I also have flash backs weeks after Muster duty for some unknown reason and despite almost not being able to walk they hound me for my weight. Infact some of them make fun of me disabilities on my warrior screening. Please call your congressman so we can end this dishonor of thousands of wounded heros. There was never a repeat question and it looks bad when you recruiters show your true colors with this type of post. Some day someone is going to have ugly hearing in congress over this! You know what I did lose my leg and I am in the IRR. I just use examples of other IRR soldiers I know. You seem quick to trash maimed hero's what type of a marine are you?
TRIVIA Q: Name the military nomenclature that gave the "Hummer/Humvee" its name? (I used to be in the Army, so I know this) Second question, what was the car manufacturer that originally made Humvees (before it became its own make)?
Why doesnt the army use H3's instead of Hummers? theyre cheaper and look better
US Army in Afghanistan? I thought the US army were in Afghanistan to re-build/win hearts and minds/educate and help the stability? Why is it then when they drive through Kabul in their great big Hummers at 100km they are so aggressive? Is forcing civilians of the road at gun point really helping them? Every other nation working for ISAF are cautious, but are warm and friendly towards the local people. 081!!!!! I also climb into my (allegedly) armored vehicle every day in Kabul, but don’t act like a I’m here to kill the world!!!!

Question about Hummers? I'm doing a speech about Hummers, and I was wondering, we all see Hummers out on streets.. right? well, they are also Army cars too.. but my question is, does the army Hummers have special stuff or whatever? or are they the same like we see that are regular cars out on the streets? If you know about them, what do they do?
Hummer Block 6.2 diesel crated who can find me one perferibally from teh army
Does the Army have dark blue custom gmc trucks with red/blue lights, bumper guards, and winches? I saw a convoy of U.S. Army vehicles last Thursday going S. on I-25 60 miles north of Denver. I've seen many convoys on this stretch of road but never these vehicles, always od green hummers and 2 1/2 ton trucks. These were dark dark navy(thats curious in itself?) blue GMC heavy dutys with the beds removed and replaced with rectangular metal frames. Looked like what a SWAT team would have. Plates said 'US Army' and the plates on trailers were spray painted on with stencils.They were pulling a similar shaped/colored trailers and all the trucks/trailers had red/blue lights (like a cop car) on the back and on the front bumper guard/behind the grill. There were 5 in the convoy. Probably heading to Denver for the DNC, but I cant find any army vehicles that fit this description and this makes me curious. The drivers were all white and had shaved heads, and with the sprayed license plates could they be posing as Army? Coming from Idaho neo-nazi places? No conspiracy nut here, just found this a bit curious. Id hate to see my city fooled by a bunch of nut jobs impersonating legit Army guys during the convention. Any info appreciated, black helicopters in the middle of the night- not so much. :) thanks all.
The name of computer game, Army/Tank/Helicopter? I am trying to locate an old PC computer game that I used to play maybe 10 years ago. It was a semi 3d overhead game. You started in an underground bunker where you had a choice of vehicles like a helicopter / tank / hummer style truck. When you chose the vehicle it would rise to the surface where you would drive/fly to the enemys section and destroy their defences. I think you could do stupid things like run people over. It wasn't a major title, more of a sharware style game. I can't think of what it was called. I am purely interested to see if I can find it for nostalic reasons. Any ideas? After a bit of digging around, I found it. It was called return fire. I'm playing it on vista now, had to turn screen graphics down to 256 colors before it would work. LOL
The city is in ruins... zombies everywhere... all you have are these things to survive, what would you take? You can bring/have: 2 gun(s). 1 bottled liquid 1 melee weapon. 1 theme song. 1 portable device. 1 vehicle. Me ----- One Desert Eagle, One AK-47 Some chocolate milk. A katana. ACDC - Highway to Hell. A GPS phone. An army style Hummer. Are my chances good?
can someone plese tell me the DOT motor vehical regulations? i am well aware of the fact that an ex-miliatary hmmwv (hummvee or hummer) isn't exactly street leagle. by the regulations of the DOT regulations. ex. doors with side-impact protection (basic HMMWV has just a web strap), lighting (military lighting falls short), and padded impact-absorbing dashboard (Army issues bare metal). so my question is WHAT ARE THE FULL SET OF REGULATIONS?
what companies do the army buy from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? im just wonderin wat companies do the USMC buy there m16s from nd hummers nd all that like where does it cum from nd no dumb shit too ayy
Looking for an old PS2 Game... HELP!!!? I am looking for a game on Playstation 2. It came out when Playstation 2 was new!

Light Armour Marines or Army -What is this Marine's helmet? ? I'm not in anyway involved in any type of HMMWV activities. I don't like HMMWV's; I don't ride in them. I don't even like capitol hummers or H3's. As a result I am ignorant of the gear. I am watching the series 'Generation Kill.' I like that show. I notice most of the Marines are wearing the old PASGT helmets. One Marine in the second vehicle of the protagonist platoon however, wears a full-head helmet that looks like a motorcycle helmet. What is this helmet, who makes it, and what type of team member would wear that?
Who makes hunvees? do the same persons who make hummer make those army hunvees? (dont know how to spell that) but u get wat i mean
Military Driver's License Endorsements? If on my military license I have every size vehicle the Army has from a hummer to an 18 wheeler (I am a mechanic), can I get that to carry over to a endorsement on my civilian license?
Which would you prefer? A fireman/woman on a firetruck or army man/woman on a hummer with a big weapon?
does any one know of any guides to make a mini CROWS i want to make a mini CROWS the thing on top of hummers in the Army that allow you to fire a machine gun off of a machine controlled by a laptop computer. I want to make a smaller one, a lot less elaborate. i plan to control it by an RC control, i have the basic idea for it, a lot of servos, motors and gears but if there are any plans that would leave out a lot of trial and error (BTW this is just and experiment and not meant for use with any real firearms)
how many hummers in dept of Def? For all, army, navy, af etc. If know by type, standard, uparmored and armored that would be good to know.

AGE OF THE EMPIRES FANS READ THIS!!!!!!!!!? ok i have the perfect idea for a new age of the empires game that i think microsoft should think about. ok what if they had a modern age army theme game with bases and encampments replacing towns and cities. ok tents would replace houses, barracks would make infantry soldiers and marines with assault rifles and hand gun people. modern stables would make jeeps, hummers, and other army vehicles, siege workshops would make artilley instead like tanks, missile launchers and maybe rocket launchers. instead of gathering resources with villagers you would have to make engineers and workers that made buildings and in order to get resources you would have to built factories make stuff. the new resources would be cash, oil, ammunition etc. like a tank would cost a certain amount of cash and oil. in order to get oil you would have to use engineers or contractors to build oil wells and workers to gather oil. and then the same thing with ammunition only you would have to build war factories. oh and there would be a new building to build aircraft like stealth bombers, jetfighters, and helicopters. and docks would build aircraft carriers and battleships with big old guns. buildings would vary depennding on which nation you choose to be example americans would have tents and cool military bases. barbwire fence would replacce walls, barracks could build snipers that hide up in trees and places. the civilizations would be modern day civilizations like russia, china, iraq, U.S., etc. each nation would have its own special soldiers for example U.S. would have marines and iraq would have suicide bombers and nations could hire mercenaries and what not. also some good campaigns would be like the bush administration campaign where you get sent to iraq and have to fight iraq for its oil or something like that lol, maybe find and take out terrorists in an age of the empire theme, maybe take out osama bin laden, basicly make it feel like your playing age of the empires only modernized. idk i was just sitting heere and all these ideas popped into my head. do you think its a good idea for microsoft to make a new game like this? Additional Details ok first of all i dont know how to contact microsoft about that kind of stuff, ive been searching for a contact site but i cant find one. also i know there are games similar to this but none of them are age of the empires and to someone who likes age of the empires there is a distinctive feel for the gameplay that game can only provide. for example resources and what not
IMPORTANT! Age of the Empires fans read this it is soo awsome!? ok i have the perfect idea for a new age of the empires game that i think microsoft should think about. ok what if they had a modern age army theme game with bases and encampments replacing towns and cities. ok tents would replace houses, barracks would make infantry soldiers and marines with assault rifles and hand gun people. modern stables would make jeeps, hummers, and other army vehicles, siege workshops would make artilley instead like tanks, missile launchers and maybe rocket launchers. instead of gathering resources with villagers you would have to make engineers and workers that made buildings and in order to get resources you would have to built factories make stuff. the new resources would be cash, oil, ammunition etc. like a tank would cost a certain amount of cash and oil. in order to get oil you would have to use engineers or contractors to build oil wells and workers to gather oil. and then the same thing with ammunition only you would have to build war factories. oh and there would be a new building to build aircraft like stealth bombers, jetfighters, and helicopters. and docks would build aircraft carriers and battleships with big old guns. buildings would vary depennding on which nation you choose to be example americans would have tents and cool military bases. barbwire fence would replacce walls, barracks could build snipers that hide up in trees and places. the civilizations would be modern day civilizations like russia, china, iraq, U.S., etc. each nation would have its own special soldiers for example U.S. would have marines and iraq would have suicide bombers and nations could hire mercenaries and what not. also some good campaigns would be like the bush administration campaign where you get sent to iraq and have to fight iraq for its oil or something like that lol, maybe find and take out terrorists in an age of the empire theme, maybe take out osama bin laden, basicly make it feel like your playing age of the empires only modernized. idk i was just sitting heere and all these ideas popped into my head. do you think its a good idea for microsoft to make a new game like this?

Why is the News full of Soldiers crying about how bad it is in Iraq?? This contemporary Army has the easiest life of any Army in the history of mankind. I saw a woos hummer driver crying about his email account. I served in the USMC in 26 counterinsurgent operations. Went days without food weeks without clean water lost 90 pounds in combat from extream hardships wounded. Came home weighing 119 pounds. Flip on the TV and see guys in air condetioned Halliburton housing eating steaks and sniveling about life in the green zone. What kind of crazy war is this???
Do you know any God-like commercials? It was a game in the 50's as companies began exaggerating the qualities of their product so much that they sounded like they were describing God. Ex. God is like the U.S. Army. "He is an army of one" God is like a Hummer. "There is nothing else like it"
I always have dreams ive had and sometimes i see stuff that ive already seen in my dreams? I keep having dreams that turn into another theme! And i keep having the same dreams ive had from a while ago Theres this one when it started with Jurassic Park and then a T Rex started hunting for me (in first person view) and some random people as wel as some other velociraptors... I die like once or twice then revive somehow... This "chapter" ends with an army driving 100 those millitary hummers which ran over those dinos. then it turns into this Zorro theme and i guess i was just watching my self, in third person view. Then... it turns a video game sort of like World of WarCraft, apparently i went in a dark alley into a Internet Cafe and I played the game but got sucked into the game 0.0 Ive had that dream 3 times now, like once a year... its so weird. Theres also this other one, i dreamt that i was at this camp thing with my ex girlfriend (we met at a camp as well) and we somehow got washed away in the ocean but swam back to shore at last. this was like one or two years ago, i went to this easter camp this year and i was walking and saw exactly the same view i saw when i got to shore in the dream. Its so freaky.... 6 weeks ago i had a dream bout my losing my brand new white nike sports bag at school right outside my form class. I threw the bag outside because i wanted to get away from this evil teacher that was gonna teach us for a day, when i had the chance to get out to get the bag too, it wasnt there. So two days after the dream, i have left my bag outside my form class to go find my girlfriend who was right outside, by the time i came back, a saw a shadow of two people, running away with my bag, i tried to sprint after them but they were too far ahead... I always see things that i think ive seen before in my dreams... Its like Deja Vu except ive never had these type before, the type where i actually remember that ive seen it instead of it just being familiar. I know that Deja Vu stands for "already seen" in french but i just dont get it..... I used to have some "uncalled for" visions a year or two ago, things just flash.. but it was only like, once every two months... Im probably not making any sense right now but probably cuz im pretty freaked out. I wanna know what does my dreams mean and why do i keep getting these "Deja Vu's"... Thanks -Supermann.

First 2 Chapters of My Book? My plot is very confusing here is my first 2 chapters U don't have to read it all Chapter 1:Déjà Vu It was a beautiful night in New York. As usual everyone is out. Nonstop parties are taking place at every street and every corner. I ,of course, was at a party with GenCo. GenCo is a science corporation that deals with viruses, diseases, and any current medical discovery. Every day new projects are funded to help cure these diseases. So as usual, every new success comes with an outrageous party. You would think It’d be fun going to parties and clubs every month, but truthfully it’s a pain in the ass. You're seeing the same people, and pretending that you actually like their opinions. And all these major executives blabbing about their financial accomplishments. I could tell you one thing, keep up the spending, until one major failure puts a giant hole in your wallet. There was music playing, people dancing and the night felt alive. It seemed as a perfect night to be out. But, then again, I’m not always right. I remember this night still today, their were many feelings going through my mind. I felt fear, excitement and accomplishment. That night, three terrorists stole a Hummer from the New York secret headquarters of the U.S. Army. The men were undercover Japanese terrorists who have been wanted criminals for years. They loaded up on weapons and ammunition and started to drive through the city, rapidly shooting their guns. Many civilians ran into buildings searching for protection. The club I was in was four blocks east of the incidents. As they approached the club one of the men aimed a bazooka at the club. Unaware of the incidents, the party goers, as well as I, kept occupied with our own business. Then the terrorist shot the bazooka rocket through the front door of the building. There was a giant explosion on stage and the speakers, instruments, and tables caught on fire. A flame of heat burned my face and I fell down beneath a table next to a young girl. She was burned on her ears and left cheek, and was screaming in terror. My whole body was now wounded and my arms and legs were weak. My mind was delusional and interpreted the room to be spinning. My arms were able to reach my cell-phone, so I called my lab and requested Treevine to send down the rest of the creatures for battle. The Hummer was a couple blocks south now and just before they got to a bank one creature, Rocket, busted out of the ground spewing gravel everywhere. His head busted the windshield sending the truck flying backwards. The Hummer flipped back and the tank exploded. Two of the terrorists crawled out and fired a couple of shots. They were limping towards the bank and kicked open the doors. The terrorists split up. One went to the back to unlock the main safe. He opened up his backpack to get a hearing implement. This allowed him to hear the code vibrations. He cracked open the safe and quickly packed $100 dollar bills into duffle bags. The other terrorist started lining up hostages by the front door, where he planted a bomb. If anyone were to enter the building through the main doors the hostages would be killed. I, at that time, got a call from Treevine. “ Dr. Mansing are you there?” “ Yes, Treevine; are you prepared for battle?” “ Mostly.” “ I thought you were fully prepared. Ugh! I guess Loraine hadn’t faxed you the information?” “ Well, were fixing up some Paraquads and we’ll be heading to New York in about fifteen minutes. Is there anything unusual we are not aware of?” “ Yes, actually there are two Japanese terrorists who have captured innocent civilians inside a bank. Do not enter through the front door or else you will set off a bomb killing the hostages.” “ Alright, I will send Junglebeast and Hawk to evacuate all women and children. We will scout men who are able to fight the terrorists.” “ Do you have enough weapons and armor to distribute the men.” “ I’m not sure, we have some flamethrowers, Bloodrush Shotguns, and Slicer assault rifles. “ Alright, great, send the creatures down immediately!” Once the weapons were delivered, the mission was a go. Junglebeast and Hawk climbed up the south side of the building and set up their equipment on the roof. “ Hey, put your nails to work and cut a hole so we can get down there! “ Hold on, I’ve got to load all the guns with ammo!" After Hawk had finished setting up all the guns and , he cut a giant hole through the roof. He then grabbed the excess wood he cut out with his legs. He threw it at a passing terrorist knocking him on his head. The other terrorist started shooting the air to intimidate the hostages. Then, Hawk and Junglebeast jumped down through the hole and took nearby cover. “ Hello is anyone there? Leave now or the hostages go!” The hostages were taped around their hands and mouth. There eyes were staring in blank sight, nervous, and bloodshot. Junglebeast, filled with guilt and rage, actually this is just the beginning I had over 15,00 extra words lol actually this is just the beginning I had over 15,000 extra words lol

Rules To Enter TEXAS? Willys cynical thought for the day; I wouldn't be caught dead with a fugging necrophiliac! Applies to each person as they enter Texas. Learn 'em and remember 'em. East Coast and California-types pay particular attention! 1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot! 2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Hummer. Drive it or get out of the way. 3. They are cattle and oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one! 4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed! We have quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive 3 weeks a year. 5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept. 6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 7. Yeah, we eat catfish and crawdads. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop. 8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. 9. We open doors for women. That applies to all women, regardless of age. 10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey. 11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and picante sauce. Oh, yeah...we don't give a damn what you folks in Cincinnati call that crap you eat... It AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio.... And real chili never met a tomato - OR BEANS! 12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair. 13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch! 14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish! 15. Colleges? Try Texas A&M or the University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays! 16. We have more folks in the Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas." If you do, it will get your butt whooped by the best. Remember we have access to bombers, tanks and helicopters -- and we know how to use them. 17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Texas!" http://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/ From.

When in Iraq on your deployment, what if? What happens if a new army soldier or marine on his or her first deployment just. . freezes up ? They wake up in barracks, and refuse to get on the hummer, or try to, and then when on patrol they keep freezing up and are just diving into being miserable and cannot perform work correctly emotional wise. I'm under the impression the marines and army wont care and will keep you around anyway for you to be just another "statistic" or trigger puller. No disrespect meant, and thank you to all those who serve. I see, well thank you for your input. Anyone else ? Or, could you please answer this then, what if it does happen to happen anyway ?... Will they send him or her home, try to mentally treat them on base ? Never heard of "PLATOOON", sorry.

where can I find specific information about a recent attack against us troops in iraq? One o my best friends and gof-father of my daughter has been in Iraq on and off for 3 years now. He was on his final tour before his release from the army this comming fall. He has been station in iraq, not exactly sure where. Sometime in the last 4 days the hummer which he was riding in was bombed. There was a total of 6 troops in his vehicle, including him. He is currently in germany awaiting a flight to Washington to be taken to a military hospital in the US. Currently they are trying to save hs left knee and above, as the lower half has already been removed because there was soo much shrapnal in it and they couldn't control the bleeding. I am looking to find more information about this particular attack. I can't find anything on google, or BBC. Does anyone know of a way to get more info? He has no way of getting in touch with us at least until the end of the week when he will arrive back in the states. Currently his parents are flying to washington to meet him when he returns so we cant get ahold of them. Any help would be appreciated. well i know where he is and when hell b here. but I also wont feel comfortable asking him the details even when I do see him. And im sure he wont b ready to talk about them. So I am hoping to find details through the news.
Was the ceasefire in Lebanon brought on by the Alaskan pipeline toubles, and oil prices rising too much? Remeber, at first the US didn't want a ceasefire unless it would have solved the millenia old conflict, to bring "lasting" peace. Which is asking for something impossible. Like, stop fighting, but only if all Christians, Jews and Muslims get along 100% from now on. Give me a break. Once the pipeline in Alaska was shut down, it only took 3 or 4 days for them to change their tune and broker a ceasefire. Obviously, it's mighty expensive to gas up those tanks and hummers year round in Iraq, and the whole point of te Iraq war was to create a stable oil supply. The lebanese army won't be able to disarm Hezbollah, and the UN won't either, so this certainly not the end of fighting forever and ever that america wanted... Any thoughts? Do you agree? I'm glad the fighting stopped, but I wonder about the motivations. http://flushaholybook.com
Just a follow up to a previous question? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aogvstd2DAip8iACpoN61cLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090115212829AAArYwd --------------------- Please, I am not trying to sound tough AT ALL but I've actually been to Iraq twice. The first time in the Army National Guard and the second time as a truck driver for KBR. I really agree with Dcntamcn who answered my last question. They were under a dictatorship before and we have given them the gift of being able to govern themselves. Also, for those who think the Iraqi Army is weak... I've seen the Iraqi Army and I wouldn't mess with them. They have a lot of American equipment (new vehicles, hummers, guns, training) and Iraqi equipment (vehicles, bases, weapons). I think if we pull out properly they will be more than fine because Iraqi soldiers are just as tough as U.S. soldiers. I guess I need to ask a question here.... so.... Do you think leaving Iraq will leave the country in shambles or do you think they will love their new found freedom and ultimately be grateful for us liberating them from a dictator and introducing them to democracy?
Age of the Empires Fans read this!!!!!? ok i have the perfect idea for a new age of the empires game that i think microsoft should think about. ok what if they had a modern age army theme game with bases and encampments replacing towns and cities. ok tents would replace houses, barracks would make infantry soldiers and marines with assault rifles and hand gun people. modern stables would make jeeps, hummers, and other army vehicles, siege workshops would make artilley instead like tanks, missile launchers and maybe rocket launchers. instead of gathering resources with villagers you would have to make engineers and workers that made buildings and in order to get resources you would have to built factories make stuff. the new resources would be cash, oil, ammunition etc. like a tank would cost a certain amount of cash and oil. in order to get oil you would have to use engineers or contractors to build oil wells and workers to gather oil. and then the same thing with ammunition only you would have to build war factories. oh and there would be a new building to build aircraft like stealth bombers, jetfighters, and helicopters. and docks would build aircraft carriers and battleships with big old guns. buildings would vary depennding on which nation you choose to be example americans would have tents and cool military bases. barbwire fence would replacce walls, barracks could build snipers that hide up in trees and places. the civilizations would be modern day civilizations like russia, china, iraq, U.S., etc. each nation would have its own special soldiers for example U.S. would have marines and iraq would have suicide bombers and nations could hire mercenaries and what not. also some good campaigns would be like the bush administration campaign where you get sent to iraq and have to fight iraq for its oil or something like that lol, maybe find and take out terrorists in an age of the empire theme, maybe take out osama bin laden, basicly make it feel like your playing age of the empires only modernized. idk i was just sitting heere and all these ideas popped into my head. do you think its a good idea for microsoft to make a new game like this? ok first of all i dont know how to contact microsoft about that kind of stuff, ive been searching for a contact site but i cant find one. also i know there are games similar to this but none of them are age of the empires and to someone who likes age of the empires there is a distinctive feel for the gameplay that game can only provide. for example resources and what not
Like Ferraris? Imagine you are tooling around town in your Ferrari. It’s your third car. You mostly take it out for Sunday drives. You are crossing some train tracks and the car dies. A train is coming towards you. You notice a switch that will send the train down another track. But seated on the other track is a house filled with starving African refugees. If you throw the switch the refugees will all, die. What do you do?? I would hope you let the train hit the car. But here is the rub. By choosing to buy the car and not using the money to make the world a better place are you not in effect killing the refugees anyway? I have sent this story to hundreds of people. The response is almost always the same. Actually the most common response is nothing. But those who do respond usually say I work hard, etcetera, etcetera, I deserve, etcetera, etcetera. But if you own 3 Ferraris, or even one for that matter, it is as much about luck as it is about deserving. If your are Shaquille Oneal and you were lucky enough to get the genes you got you are just as lucky as the child born to poverty and oppression is unlucky. There is no harder work NO harder life than imposed poverty and NO ONE deserves that life. Let’s look at it a different way. How much does that 5th Hummer increase the quality of your life? How much more happy are you with that car than you would be with out it? The difference is marginal at best. You probably would not even notice the difference if it was not in the garage. But you do have a 5 car garage and have to keep it filled. How much does it cost to fix a hair lip on a poor little girl in Bolivia, maybe $ 5,000? So instead of spending $ 50,000 on that car and making your life a tiny bit better, why not make 10 lives infinitely better? I was having lunch with a friend and before we went to lunch we popped into a jewelry store. She has a friend who makes jewelry and she wanted to show it to me. We were looking and I recognized a belt that my friend wears. I asked how much for the belt. The salesperson said $ 5,000. My friend has a $ 5,000 belt!!! So while we were having lunch I asked my friend how much different her life would be if she did not have the belt. “Not much” she said. Then I asked. “If your granddaughter had a hair lip and you had to sell the belt to fix it what would you do.” She said, “Well I would just take the money out of the bank.” I pointed out that this was all fantasy/hypothesis and that we have to assume that selling the belt is the only way to repair her grand daughter’s hair lip. Then she said. “Of course I would sell the belt, she’s family.” I said. “We are all family. All of us are one family, one human race. It is about compassion knowing that when you buy something extravagant and wasteful you are stealing bread from a starving child. I know it’s hard because we live in an extravagant country. But you have to know this grand and lavish American way of life is one of the main reasons why the rest of the world hates us. And, why they hijack airplanes and crash them into our sky scrapers.” She said, “Well what am I supposed to do?” I wrote this down on a piece of paper and handed it to her. “Live simply so that others may simply live.” A couple of days later I was thinking about a singer I saw once. His name was T-Buck. He was talking between songs and he said. “You know we worship all kinds of things, money, Jesus, cars, Buddha, Allah, but more than any of those things we should worship each other.” I recently went to the Philippines. It’s amazing what the internet can do. I googled Philippine surf camp, and a week later I was stepping off of a twin propeller, 12 seat airplane onto tiny island in the middle of nowhere, PI. This island is so remote that they can not get many types of heavy machinery there, so they can not make gravel with machines. Instead they use people. The human gravel makers squat on their heels, with hammers and chisels, and break up rocks. They do it 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, with no safety glasses, no protection on their hands, for 25 cents an hour, $ 2 a day. Even though I was half way around the world, on the very cusp of civilization The Catholic Church was everywhere. One evening began with the sound of church bells ringing, and a bit later I could hear the choir too. Then a few hours later a small stream of people trickled into the neighbors place, maybe 20 in all. They ate dinner and then began to sing and pray. As they were singing I was thinking about T-Buck. It suddenly occurred to me that more than anything the world needs “The Church of Each Other”. So I say that if you have 100 pairs of shoes, $ 10,000 watches, 5 ferraris, etc., you are worshiping yourself, and you lack a certain type of compassion or maybe you just are just conveniently not paying attention. I am not advocating life in a tent. I am just saying to make conscious choices, and don’t be frivolous, and wasteful. You can still have a nice house, a nice car, etc., but just THINK. That’s all just THINK, and be aware that we all are one. And whatever you take for yourself that is more than you what NEED you are taking from someone else. I would like to close with a quote from Bill Maher. Women think about diamonds the way men think about sex, the way leeches think about blood," Bill Maher once remarked. "But diamonds have a lot of blood on them, even without the terrorist connection, because they can not be traced diamonds are used by terrorists, to launder and move money. Diamond mines in Africa are controlled by rebel armies, and the rebel armies control the territory and make the villagers mine the diamonds. The villagers are basically slaves and the Rebels control them through terror, through such lovely things as cutting off the arms of the little children - something you never see in the De Beers commercials. An amputation is forever. Now, I told this to a woman recently, who was only about the nicest person I've ever met - but she is a woman. And I told her about Africa and the armies and the rebels and the terror and the cutting off the arms of the little children. And she looked up at me with a little sad face and said, Both arms? Remember Beannie Babies??? Diamonds are pretty much the same thing. I used to be in the jewelry business. Jewelry is what is called a created market. The market is driven by perceived value. What that means is that really good marketers make really good ads and they make us gullible consumers think that diamonds, beanie babies, whatever are rare, valuable, and worth a lot of money. Diamonds are a dime a dozen, it just so happens that most of them come from Africa and not that many people mine them. SO, the diamond miners got together about 100 years ago and decided to limit the supply and they did a really great job of marketing. They used to pay MILLIONS of dollars to make movies with big movie stars just so they could have a scene where the Brad Pitt of the day would ask the Angelina Jollie of the day to marry her and he would give her a diamond ring. So now in today’s times Diamonds are Forever, Every Kiss Begins with Kay, and on and on. They do a GREAT JOB!!!! Those are great ads!!!! Have you noticed that the folks who run the Diamonds are Forever ads are the De Beers family. Those are the folks who mine the diamonds. They don’t care where you buy the diamonds, just as long as you buy them. So anyone reading this ever pay over $ 50 for a beanie baby??? Feel kind of silly? Maybe in a 100 years or so people will look back and say, those silly 20th century people used to pay large amount of money for bags of beans and shiny rocks. And by the way those diamond miners, the De Beers and their friends are the same folks who brought us one hundred years of Apartheid and complete racial domination in South Africa. 100 years of white folks KICKING BLACK ASS!!! I am serious, in the last 20 years literally Millions of people in countries like the Congo have been killed in power struggles over diamonds. Anyway that’s about it Looking forward to the responses!!!
