now thats really funny, the "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' did not invade NORTH AMERICA, you europeans did, but we revolted and sent your royal imperial butts back to europe ( except for canada)

native heritage: rivers , mountains, states, towns*, sports teams, have indian names or are named after indians, the Navaho lands are as big as the state of pennsyvania, i had a co-worker who was Lokta, and he spoke english BTW.

* the town i come from was named for a indian chief.



frenchy , what does being in nam from 65 to 75 have to do with it? FYI i was in the USMC from 62 -64 , so i just missed it.

This time we played by my rules and you played along with the game.
Name of the game was 'the entrapment'.

You should take a lesson from this.

salute!


HAHA, I love it when you show what an idiot you are.  How many times have you tried to sound like an intellect and failed?  Entrapment?  HA!  You're comedy gold!  Dumb as rocks, but funny as hell.

John9001,

I'm not talking about that who did what and where, but about the cultures.

If we consider what the AMERICAN culture was, which you say is 10000 year old, and what it is now, it is near non-existant.
Today, the leading culture in north america, particularly in the area of USA, is the USA's culture itself - theres hardly a sign of the 10000 year culture.
This 10000 year old culture is probably among slightest effecting cultures in the current culture - which for most parts originates from elsewhere than the original north america.

USA's culture is mostly influenced by various european cultures, which then mixed up into it's own culture.
the least effecting are asian african and middle eastern cultures and on the very minor the original american culture - which was considered barbaric by most of these cultures.
The roots simply comes from elsewhere.


I don't know what the problem with this is...or would you rather live like in parts of south america or middle of nowhere in africa?


Martlet,

I really suggest you to take a lesson, since you don't give a very intelligent impression of yourself and top of it all, you're playing for my benefit right now, not yours.
An intellect person would play it down with an intelligent comment, not with the comments you just posted.

I'd like to hear more similar articles from all around Iraq, to hear if and how it differs regionally by soldiers experience.

Nothing new in that really, but reporters are more boring.

Frenchy,

Problably the best news source you will find on international security issues is "The Open Source Intelligence Resource Project"

It's run by an intelligence analyst who hangs out on AGW.

You can find it at http://www.osirp.com

I knew that's why I asked, but I thought it was 65. Well, why did Johnson sent your fellow buddies fight in Vietnam? Only to retailiate from the US destroyer's attack? Why the number of U.S. military advisers in South Vietnam rise from 900 to 15,000 from 1960 to 1963?

I know that Vietnam was a French colony and we got violently kicked out. Why is it a "French screew up"? How does that answer my question to John? Do you mean that France is responsible for USA to go to war in Vietnam?

I might be wrong, but wasnt Southeast Asia (French Indo-China)acquired by France after Allied Victory in the Pacific?

Anybody know for sure?
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
