If your country were about to be "invaded"...

If I can be free without risking my life,

wow.. that, right there, is where we're worlds apart.

what the hell is advanced scuba diving?

I've been an NASDS intructor for years, and I've never heard of advanced scuba diving.

So... some lighthearted responses and some actual insight.

It seems to me most countries would either fight to the death or realize the hoplessness and act accordingly.

It just seems the idea of insisting on martyring your civilians while the military hides and the leaders flee is about as barbaric as anything I've ever seen.  Even Germany's sweep through Europe didn't involve this particular behavior.  Either fights were fought, or surenders were made.  Never did a government just abandon its people WHILE asking them to fight to the death.

Just a side observation from this war.

speaking of which, I haven't been in awhile.  Maybe I'll do a night dive tonight.  The water is getting warmer, so maybe things are moving back into shallower water.

drool... ok.. so that's the one thing we need.. an ocean.

if we can just get California to slide into the ocean.. and take a bit of Utah with it.. then I'd be in BeachFront city...

Mini D: Do you think your leaders would establish lines/fronts to protect your population, or use your population to protect your military?

 US government used at least one childcare center as "human shield" for its federal building. It does not seem to have done any good.

are you for real?  You can't really be this stupid.  

Providing on site daycare for your employees, is now considered a "human shield"?

This is about as tasteless as you've ever been miko.  I guess that's pretty much the norm for you these days.

I hope you enjoy yourself and these completely ****ed up posts.

[Wlfgng]

agreed.  what an idiotic statement.

[Martlet]

DOH!

I didn't read my own "ignored by" list.

[Sixpence]

I deleted the quote. That remark should be deleted. No need for that Miko. If you lost a child there and read that, how would you feel?

[Yeager]

Miko is gumby.

[AWMac]

Miko you are one inconsiderate ba$tard!

     Although I don't dive, my wife is into it big time. We live next to Puget Sound and she's done more night dives than in daylight. For those not familiar with Puget Sound, the water temperature in the summer is in the low 50s. She regularly dives in mid-40s water during the winter(yes, she has a dry suit).
