Y'know I always wondered by Sparky-boy never came to World Affairs Board?

Talk about a total snub!

Edit:

Anybody see this? Given that Sparky has a hard-on for John Pike, I'd say that somebody at Global Security has a sense of humor.

M113 Gavin vs Stryker

I'm hoping it's because somebody at Global Security has a sense of humor.

I've been checking out the Talk Page on Wikipedia for the Gav...I mean the M113 and somebody nailed Sparky to the wall for posting as a sock puppet, even identifying him by IP address.

The dumb-f--k gave himself away on his User Page

He did and was quickly routed out by the WAB members. I think, IIRC, it happened back in 2005.

Perhaps a different view upon the subject. A good read.

More interestingly the 5" ERGM project has been halted which that study shows was the USN's next step to answer the problem. Now it may be more rail gun oriented I presume.
