I've made my share of dedicated down voters in the past few years, but I think that some of their fanfare has died off a bit.

@vitklim for the life of me I don't see why your comment got a downvote . I wish the person that did it would explain. I suppose it's possible that they don't see the Dr's name. Hey , you might have a downvote stalker too. lol

Bright eyes

A potentially short one

There is , I guess. I dont have a lot of faith in the folks that decide who gets what.

Thats just two damn negative

It all happened during the government shut down and to the news coverage from the CIA getting caught helping the drug-smugglers do their business in the US while Hi-way Rick developed crack and started the crack epidemic

Haha, talk about telecomms , with a mix up and confusion. One of the problems I don't think any of us touch on is the chaotic nature of war. Throw in some good old fashioned stupity and lots of things can to hell. There were billions of dollars, paper money that disappeared in Iraq , it was sent for bribes, intell and such. I don't believe it was stolen as whole. I wouldn't be surprise if it turns up, mislabeled in Idaho, as field latrines or something.

The corruption is sickening , that's the politicians and high ranking shitbags that sign contracts that cost everyone money. Kickbacks should be sending them to the same prison (maybe Levenworth) as the politician that take bribes. There's a lot of waste because of the way their budgets are set up. The money a command gets has to be spent within the physical year or the next year the don't get as much. So things get wasted/destroyed ect, to use up any left over money. I wish we had some better watchdog groups to stop the corruption. I hope you don't have to drive much there. I always hated driving in DC.

She was 24, knew he was married and when it looked bad for her she be came a victim, that's bullshit. Her and Clinton were both wrong and got caught.

The way that they are try to expand territorial water boundaries by make artificial islands and arming them, with a large military increase, we could all be Chinese one day.

When they do their suicidal charge and @funkmasterrex special treats sedate the guards will have to spring you out of there.

Glad you are back.

Damn, joking around went way too far.

I see your point. World cooperation has always been lacking. China, Russia , Japan, South Korea, England, India ect, could all take a bigger part in "policing" the oceans and different trouble spots. The US could reduce its world wide patrols, but who who really respond to a disaster in the same way the US has. Who would stop Somali pirates from seizing ships, stop warlords before they get too much power ? I know our politicians misuse the armed services, but who would become the deterrent to stop the stuff that happens when the US has down sized in the past. There is also the fear of our military down sizing while China and Russia are increasing their military power. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I don't have any political agenda, I just worry about troop training and state of the art equipment so our guys can have and keep the advantage . Pray for peace, prepare for war. Hopefully, the insanity of war will be reasoned out and cured.

They don't understand that. Haha

I just don't get the hunting goats. Pretty odd to me. Deer yeah.

Look at any area that closed a base. Not pretty.

@mrscollector, did you take a cue from @captain_obvious ? Sorry, that is just the smartass in me had to ask. Love your post/stories. Keep on keeping on Mrscollector .
