Not at all. We have made it to the point we always make it. Winning tonight would be a “successful” tournament. Losing tonight would be seen as a disappointment.


I’ll have to take your word for it. I don’t care enough to do any research.
It’s freaking soccer, only care a little and I have to force myself there.

We have gone farther than expected from what understand. If the only acceptable outcome is winning it all people have too high of expectations for this team.
Rarely in an office. Last time I was I did do a coat and tie just for kicks.
100% bullet. A rock would make it through nor expand like that. Check your lines and whatnot underneath. May be more damage.

No. Those decisions were way, way above my pay grade. Did I bitch about shite? Yes.

Sort of. The entire post 9/11 effort was complete bullshite with the benefit of hindsight. The way politicians muzzled the attack dogs meant it would all be for nothing. Early on, things were great we were moving fast and rolling up tons of bad guys. By the end, you had to confirm you were being shot at accurately enough to endanger yourself, it could just be gunfire in your direction. The ROE turned into complete dogshit.

So there is a natural tendency for the wife to spend more time with her parents. My advice, butt in until your son says it’s too much.

If I lived 5 miles from my grandson he’d see my damn near everyday and my daughter in law would have to get over it.

Clinton also eliminated many federal jobs and reduced the size of government(empirical fact), but it was done in a rational, well reasoned manner.


Clinton go to the military to achieve that. Now take a look at what he did if you don’t get the military.

He plucked a small state governor out of obscurity that was in no way prepared for the spotlight outside of an initial speech.


Only smart move he made. She’s self destructed since then, but she was a solid choice and the only thing to breathe life into his campaign.


“ Vote for me, I’m a little less of a liberal than my opponent” isn’t a good strategy.
We were never a one person, one vote country you stupid bitch.

We can’t win so I want to change the rules is bullshite.

At least I understand statistics, which based on your response propels me past your intelligence level.
We are being hunted. The sooner white folks realize this the sooner something can be done.

Is this a “re-enactment”group or are these active military? If I’m not mistaken, the army does still maintain mounted cavalry for ceremonial/historical purposes.


Re-enactment. There is still 4 mounted units (5th SFG aside) but they are all ceremonial.


The 5th group fought mounted in Afghanistan in the war made famous by the movie 12 Strong. I’ve met one of them because our sons serve together. He has no prior horseback knowledge but learned quick.
They pledged their sacred honor and fortunes for the birth of our nation, against all odds. Hell, only something like 30% of the population were involved directly in the birth of this great nation.

It was certainly a pivotal moment.

He was treated as a joke when he was doing it. Now those people aren’t laughing.
Maybe, just maybe we should not have treated Joseph McCarthy like a nut ball back in his day.


He was a canary in the coal mine.
I am about to take a 17 day trip to Glacier, Yellowstone, and Germans Tetons national parks with my 18 year old daughter.

I have the means to do so after growing up extremely poor is a great reminder that this country is amazing. I don’t know if a poster kid growing up on government cheese in any other country couldn’t where I am today while staying in their country.



God Bless America!!!!
Soon you say.

I can see you’ve never been involved with aircraft development and FAA part 135 and other approvals.
Why do people act like it’s our moral responsibility to pay for this bullshite around the world?
