And cheap too in Korea they try to keep morale up so you could by a 6 pack of American (piss water to any euro) for 2.50 and import for 3.00 dollars US...  (I like Chimay myself.  just for the record.)

A bottle of bacardi 151 and normal bacardi were both 8.00 per 750ml...(pricing error? I always bought 151....   8P)

not bad...

Servicemen and women on post could drink...  Thats how it was 8 years ago... may have changed but thats how it was...


2 cents..



DoctorYO


Thx for explaining it

BTW "Piss Water" ROTFL thats exactly what germans call US (and mexican) beer, but its wrong - at least for a few really good pint of beer (cant recall the brand) i drunk in NY - and NO it wasnt Becks (brewed in my home town Bremen).

Ya but your ships were dry!

Lynch has been through more than any of us here have been through I would guess and hope.

That muslim lawyer(eek!) showed more nuts and morality than any of us have ever given evidence of possessing I bet.

The troops that went in showed more skill than any of us can lay claim to with out alot of evidence.

The comanders that ordered it showed more faith in thier men and sence of the moral war then I had expected.

big win.
Salute all.

I am opposed to women in combat zones. However, when Playboy runs "The Girls Of Operation Iraqi Freedom" photospread I'll support our troops by buying that issue.

So, we should keep the girls with nice hooters out of harms way?

Did everyone forget about the other female and the 3 male POWs that were shown on Iraqi tv? Or did something happen to them that I am unaware of?

LOL at my age all 19 year olds look like little kids. I prefer em over 30.

Anyway the issue is the emotional makeup of men vs. women. I feel like I'm an expert in this area as I was raised as a female the first 18 years of my life and still occasionally will cry for no reason.

No, they just can't be hounded by the media until they are rescued. I hope they get the chance :(

I was wondering the same thing.  They were all from the same unit as PFC Lynch.  I'm wondering if the 2 bodies in the morgue and the 9 in the cemetary included the 5 on Iraqi tv.

First off, I am *NOT* female, Rose is my last name, not my first. Second, there ARE male POWs, but when we do go and rescue them, we'll hear it mentioned on the evening news and nothing more. Third, would this Mohammed guy have done all this for a male soldier? Prolly not. I'm just saying this was blown way out of proportion.

na what he did really cant be blown out of proportion.

saving a seviceperson should be wildly rewarded as it was in ww2, in cash preferably. medels and honors also there for a reason.


but i keep thinkin of thos other soldiers, are they alive?
