And therefore you will lose the war when you kill 300 guerrillas and take 5 fatal casualties every day for 8 years.

shoot the damn paratrooper.  either you're repelling an airborne assault, or, you're helping the US get air supremacy by running down the cadre of experienced airmen available to the enemy.  By 1945 the average Jap pilot had about 100 hrs in teh air compared to 2000 for his American opposition, and that only hurt the Navy hwen they gave up dogfighting for controlled suicide crashees. 

anyhow you're toting a halfass rifle that's designed to maim not to kill. Also you probably wont hit the sonuvabitch because you train to make noise and scare people into holding still for the arty to slay them, not to be  Sgt York the sniper.

  And if the enemy can't stand it, he'll either give his unarmed airmen flourescent chutes, or train the [faggotry] out of them about how not to land on American trenches.

As I watch Greece go up in flames and Europe debate how it can borrow enough to sustain itself, I'm struck by the idea that a centralized, coordinated Europe is barely 20 years old.  It's not very strong and this could be our chance to kill it.

A centralized Europe will demand its own voice, while, at the same time, demand support and sustenance.  It can get fuel and arms from Russia a lot cheaper than America, at this point, could afford to offer.  At the same time, since it just won't take on Russia, as being rightly considered too mean to avoid a fight, it can gain its own voice by telling America to go to hell; coincidentally this is just what Russia would like to hear.

For those reasons then, a united Europe would be a pushy client and at best a geopolitical neutral.

A divided Europe, though, would have to settle for what it could get, and align itself with the most friendly great power.   Though it may seem odd, a divided Europe would probably be more likely to align behind NATO against Russia than the EU.

For these reasons its probably in America's interests to help spread chaos throughout the EU.

um...did FEMA leave with Bush?

for one thing our side is a bunch of pussies and would give them a trial in NYC anyhow

for antoher, we're not likely to do so well in future wars that we have so many prisoners

you're a student, if you need furniture you can just scavenge the curb

those of us who keep stuff from home to home gotta haul it

also my state has limited amount of paved roads -- a lot, but not 100%

but yeah trucks have got crazy

first they put in all those emission standards and that jacked the price 30%

so everybody borrowed the cost of atruck
