Within 15 hours. I've got a heavy load today and got to drive #1 Daughter to ballet (no, I DO NOT THINK SHE LOOKS CUTE) this afternoon after work and endure a bunch of kids jumping up and down calling it dancing.
Can't wait until I can get her on some pads and a hockey stick (she's her old man that way - no figure skating for her).
Sorry about the rant, just one of many wars I've lost.Last edited by Officer of Engineers; 12 Aug 05,, 14:36.Comment

Take your time sir. I am more than familiar with kids plays and dances. My father always had a pained look about hime when he went to one of my sisters recitals. But than he did not want to set my mother off."Any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy, which qualifies life for immortality." ~ George William RussellComment

It's OK Sir, we all know that she looks cute, even if you won't admit it.Originally posted by Officer of Engineers
Just wait until the vultures....erm, boys start circling. That's when you'll need that standard issue weapon.
Speaking of lil cuties, it's a shame that this honey was not available during Korea, had the NCA authorized the release of nuclear weapons.

How old is your daughter now? I thought she was like 2 years old. Man she's way too young to be a ballet dancer.Originally posted by Officer of EngineersComment

Ahh yes, the 16"er.
What would a 20kt warhead do? Isn't that about Hiroshima-sized? Were the shells fused for airburst or impact or either?

First of all, I screwed up. It was designated W-23 not W-19.Originally posted by dalem

First of all, this figure of 1 million Chinese, can you verify it?
Secondly, the Chinese weren't just "trying to defend the North" - they succeeded. That's why we still have a North Korea today.
This "body count" mentality is a too shallow way of looking at events that shape the world. Even if the Chinese did lose a million, that's a drop in the ocean for them. They weren't protecting North Korea - they were protecting China's border and its pride. A million, a few million... wouldn't matter. In the end, they achieved their goals, which was to help maintain North Korea as a buffer state at China's border.
Combloc reactions aside, does the US need nuclear weapons everytime it fights against Asian countries?
Shame

Agree with you as far as the outcome of Korea.
