Doesn't mean anything Schadenfreude.  Bills to ban television show up at the hill every day.  Doesn't mean it will get any votes.

The Palestinian people are a myth - they have no separate history and are a creation of the media


I  thought that line is funny.  Come on, everybody knows that Jews control 98% of major media outlets and 100% of the worlds wealth.

I don't find it funny, I find it revolting. It ranks up there with holocaust denial.

Let's just try to remember one thing, that the majority of people of Isreal just want to be left alone and live in peace. If you were to poll every arab, the majority would probably feel the same way. It seems that extremists always give the majority a bad name. Peace seems so simple, yet so far away.

I've only been in a month, but the responsibilities of CAP seem rather large.

Apparently, something like 90% of the search and rescue missions carried out in the US are done by CAP.

Now, we're been tasked with Homeland Security and Drug interdiction.

We're not sure what the homeland securitiy deal is going to be, but will probably involve Photo Recon missions, like th drug interdiction role.

Here's an interesting tid bit too. CAP members can be called on to become active members of the military if the situation warrents.

Could you imagine how bad it would have to get for them to draft us????

Talk about the bottom of the barrel.

If nothing else, it's an excuse to get out of the house and log some hours on the cheap.

Muck,

I hope you never get "activated", but I have a sneaking suspicion that that is exactly what is going to happen...  mind you it will be domestic service, but you will allow the deployment of other active duty personnel while you CAP people take over domestic stuff.

Just a hunch me thinks.

You really think so, Bodhi?

They have started some new training courses...

First aid...Preparing Helicopter Landing area's....things like that.

Hey, if I can serve my country and still provide for my family as I do now, I'd do it, and I won't complain a bit.

Israeli army is a fine place for good folks looking for healthy entertainment.

Such as bulldozing American teenagers or shooting rock-throwing children with deadly force.

It just doesn't get any better than that. And would get you gas chamber anywhere outside of Israel.

That's not a job it's a perk.

shouldn't american teenagers be at schools - in america, anyway? Traveling to the middle east is no way to get education.

According to Israeli legislation, yes. Does give food for thought though, since it is apparently not allowed to aspire becoming a Palestinian citizen being an Egyptian while the 'being Jewish' argument is found legitimate.

Strange..

In order to fly for CAP, you need a minimum of 200 hours as PIC.

We fly with a crew of 3. Pilot, Observer and Scanner.

I do not have my GA license yet. Working on it.

Like I said, I not taking sides as I'm no fan of the Israeli's either, but there is only one Jewish state, while there are many Muslim states, like the one Arafat moved away from to become a "Palestinian".

1. You have to pay them.

2. No - though Israeli female soldiers can be very hot if you like the whole teenage babe with a gun thing.

3. No on the final cut, they'll take anyone.

I personally think that is a bogus argument, there is no Hare Krishna state and therefore they are perfectly entitled to invading, occupying and de facto cleansing of a christian state? There are after all already many of those and none for the Krishna's...

Who did they invade? I seem to remember them being invaded 3 times. Also, where is the historic homeland where the Krishna's came from? It seems to be the airport.

My position on the Israeli thing is we (the US) should stop all aid to Israel and Saudi Arabia and use the couple Billion dollars to give our junior enlisted men and women a pay raise. Let those countries fend for themselves, they can afford it.
