Nope. I'm a proponent of a strong national defense and an immediate and appropriate Military response when our or our friends interests are challenged. And, as a former Boy Scout and Sea Explorer, I subscribe fully to the tenet of "..being prepared..". As a licensed Commercial (Multi) Pilot, I also subscribe to a policy of providing our Military airmen the very best equipment that money and technology can provide - and the weapons to arm them for prompt victory.
You may notice that very few countries screw with the Russians or the Chinese. Why..?!? Because, without some Arkansas slut, chickencrap speedboat jocky, General Motors Submarine Commander, or dribbling Hollyweird limpo continegent sputtering away in the background, the Russian and/or Chinese response to being screwed with is absolutely predictable. There's a very good lesson in that.
Having created well over 200 Boards on SI, it would seem that your focus and/or intent is a little jaded. My Boards run the gammut of Aircraft through Zoology (..or the medical products and byproducts therefrom..). Suprisingly enough, I just gave away the FRPT Board - which is actually a manufacturer of defensive Military equipment intended to keep our boys who clear mines and IEDs safe in the field.
In counterpoint, how stupid can you be to come on a Board dedicated to one of our nation's most critical civil concerns, Homeland Defense, and intentionally attempt to needle the Board Monitor..!?! You, IMHO, are a sick puppy and your agenda proves it..: Message 21861653
Weird. When he's threatened, burgled, has his tricycle stolen, or some Wacko Ragheads wants to burn down his hovel, I wonder who he will scream for first - the ACLU, some stupid (W)itch, or a Hippie, perhaps...?!?
