Step away from it........ you REALLY think this is the end of the US military? You REALLY think it's the end of the US as a world power?


Er, no Toad. That's not what I said at all.

Right, no negativity there. Thanks, my mistake.

Amazing how the perspective changes as we age.

for example, in their early years -when they are young and naive- many people come out loudly against the idea of bringing back the draft or our involvement in unnecessary wars.  however when they reach 30 or so the idea doesn't seem to bother them nearly as much as it had before.

lol. It's not like I aint negative about a few things. It's not like a few things don't bug me. But telling me I'm negative and then making up examples of it such as the collapse of the military and the end of the US as a superpower, which I've never said, in order to paint me with that brush makes you a bit more negative than me, I think.

Nash, you are the surrogate US hand-wringer on this board. IMO, of course.

Not that they're aren't a few native hand-wringers. Still, I appreciate your deep concern for our well being.

I don't know how to thank you enough.

BTW Nash, it's going to be a slow Friday night here.. pouring rain.

Any chance of one of your famous Friday Night Fishing Expeditions?

Pouring rain here too.

So yeah, maybe... Anything in particular you'd like to discuss?

I'm kind of burned out, though. It may take some warming up to get in my usual sanctimonious and vitriolic groove.

Well, we could try "False BBS sanctimoniousness and vitriolicity for $200, Alex."
