You know I saw the "Green Berets". very little operational detail in movie. It did show how nasty the Viet Cong were. What I am seeing in the media on the Seal strikes looks like way too much information.

Edit. I guess nobody took the time to read the linked article. Down near the bottom
McRaven said Act of Valor began its life as a recruitment video that aimed to bring more minorities into the special forces.

Great! Affirmative action in the special forces. This will do more damage than any publicity.

Officers who were publicity hounds have gotten a lot of good military people killed.

How strong is our military really? Since Reagan it has been going down hill fast with base closures, layoff, poor morale etc. Are the weapons really working the way they should? When was the last time they were actively tested. Yeah I know that cost money. As a certified Reagan hater I will give him this much, with the way he built up the military nobody would even discuss closing the straight. Wars happen when someone expects the other side to back down and they don't.

With all of the pacifists, isolationists etc Japan really believed that if the hit us real hard at the beginning of the war we would fold. A lot of people died because they were wrong. I am afraid the same thing will happen here.

I would think it would come out like "A Dangerous Method". Very well researched by everyone involved. Excellent acting and it didn't pull punches about the morals of Jung and Freud. It just wasn't that entertaining. No real highs no real lows.

Alger Hiss is definitely an interesting character, I just don't see how you are going to make it interesting to anyone who is not already interested in the history of it.

Lots of B.S. in this article. The Settlement is not about people who couldn't pay their loans. it is about people wrongly foreclosed upon, about 750,000 according to the article below. It is also about people who the banks attempted to foreclose on. The GOP could be making major political hay over all of this except for the fact that they supported "Robo signing" as a measure good for business and reducing regulations.

So the religious groups are now going to back down. The issue is not about Churches being required to provide abortions and birth control, it is about the Government being able to tell them they have to. Nothing has changed. The Government can still do that, but for now, they won't. Until after the election that is.

So what else is hidden in the bill? That's the real story.

So this site is finally waking up to the problem? For years the Big sites were either ignoring the problem or hinting not to subtly that amnesty is good.

This is why I have no use for any of the GOP candidates they refuse to address this issue because they want the votes too. People who aren't even supposed to be here are more important to them than Americans.

I just saw this about M.I.A. http://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/rapper-wh...

So why was she even on the show? They should have expected this.

This is a joke right? The GOP still doesn't understand why they lost big in 2008. As bad as everything is the best we can come up with is a dead heat?
