OT NAME THIS COUNTRY: 709,000 regular (active duty) service personnel 293,000 reserve troops Eight standing Army divisions 20 Air Force and Navy air wings with 2,000 combat aircraft 232 strategic bombers 13 strategic ballistic missile submarines with 3,114 nuclear warheads on 232 missiles 500 ICBMs with 1,950 warheads Four aircraft carriers, and 121 surface combat ships and submarines, plus all the support bases, shipyards and logistical assets needed to sustain such a naval force. Is this country Russia?. . . No Red China ? . . . No Great Britain ? . . Wrong Again France?....Nope.. USA? . . . You are still wrong Give up?? Well, don't feel too bad if you are unable to identify this global superpower, because this country no longer exists. It has vanished. These are the American military forces that HAVE DISAPPEARED since the 1992 election of Bill Clinton and Al Gore. PS - Rarebird - You make me physically nauseous. I started to write you so many times but each post became 20 pages long so I aborted each one. Hate crimes are a fancy term for reverse discrimination. We have existing laws to deal with premeditated crimes which covers attacks on someone due to their race or sexual deviency ( yes, I call them deviantes). I have watched this country that I swore to fight to defend drop to the depths of Rome before their collapse. We now view gays as acceptable, adultry and lying under oath acceptable and prosecute a white man's first offense harsher than a minority with a rap sheet twenty miles long because his target was a minority yet say nothing of the minority killing the majority member. Equal rights means just that equal. There should be no difference if he is white robbing a black man or a black man robbing a white one. Yes, dragging a man behind a truck because of his color is wrong but that was a murder and it was premeditated with ample laws to kill the sick people without a seperate law to bait people into this trap. Hate criime laws are now trying to be used to deal with everyday crimes against minorities that they do to majorites. If some punk tries to hurt myself or my family, he should be succepable to the same laws as anyone else, black, white, yellow, red or purple. Also when he does, I should not be held to a higher standard when I blow him to smitherenes with my automatic Magnum pistol which never leaves my side. Yes I am a card carrying pistol packin type that you have nightmares about. Switzerland has an automatic weapon in every closet yet they have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Each male citizen is sent to the military and taught to fight and then keeps his weapon for life. Crime is in the mind, not in the arming of the person. I know you will continue to believe what you will and I what I will. All I can say is God help you if you ever come trying to take my weapons away. Good Luck, Lee
