Mike, that is naive, IMO. This world thrives on mass media info. Already we have lots of "leakers" who are intent on scuttling our military, and indeed, our country, and our very existence. Why we would tell them our plans in advance is very much beyond me.... The Iraqi government already knows we will be there until they are ready to protect their own country.

Are you suggesting you think they are ready to protect themselves yet? You are much smarter than that, I believe. People are not trained in a matter of months in all facets of modern warfare, or capability in a matter of weeks or months.

And I simply don't understand why you make comments like "as long as uncle is in charge..." Are you meaning unclewest, or Uncle Sam? Or what?

We are damned lucky we have people like unclewest who have given of themselves so that the rest of us can sit here and type about our views of freedom....

Over 50% of the men on A Teams today are eligible for retirement.

They know the stories about the SFO and Seattle spitters.

They work for two reasons...a motto, "De Oppresso Liber", and America's freedom.

Ever wonder what happens if they get tired of the leftist bullshit and move on to much higher paying jobs with less risk?

Signs of that abound!
