Dharma - Yes we got fairly lucky in the LOD investigation on this. The railing that gave way was the ruled as the primary culprit as it would have been a hazard drunk or sober. Factor in that the Army gives non-lethal incidences like this a little bit of a nod-and-a-wink. SSG C also had such a funny way of retelling this story from his perspective that for the most part the unit saw it as good clean entertainment. (the barbarians!)

Phobia - you will find that any and all areas of which you have no experience have a "jargon" to them... this even extends to basic human activities like parenting. Read a book about having a new baby and you will encounter all sorts of things you have never heard of. You will always encounter new concepts and words to express them when you leave your "comfort zone" behind. When you hear nothing new in a while it usually means you are in a rut. Nice p

Shula - I completely don't agree with your religious worldview but I enjoyed your article. Very well written and thought out. Nice to see that for a change. The religious sectors of society could use more apologists like you to counter the ones who are less articulate.

Update from allahpundit.com. 9, 2004 A funeral in Gaza - and birth of a new resistance. . . . At the cemetery a man in shirt and tie led his five-year-old son to the graves. "We get hit by Israel but it cannot hurt us, he said. "Look at the crowds. This makes us stronger and more united. For us death is life." He took his son, who was wearing a green Hamas bandana, by the shoulders. "This generation will liberate us from Israel

Good to see you finally registered arquonzo, let us know if you actually start writing a bit yourself. And yes Grace I am definately more of a windbag now than I was at three. Just think of reading these as a sort of adjunct to the "increase your word power" sections of readers digest. Besides you were the one who taught me most of these words anyways.

All - Thanks for the comments, makes me feel better about this on. I had hoped to get to the Fall as well but I just couldn't make it in less than 2 pages. I am trying to hold these down to bite-size chunks but I knew this one had a bit of filler there to set it up. Still at least I have not fallen prey to Robert Jordan disease, he occasionally writes 500 page *books* that are all filler. <a href="http://www.sffworld.com/authors/j/jordan_robert/reviews

Sorry for the couple of days off, I was not able to cram this one into just a one-page article especially since some of you expressed the desire for a bit more explanation. I hope the new format works outwell. I have switched to using Atlantis Open Mind Link and I really like it as an HTML formatter. The article looks better and the linking process seems more straightforward. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Good points. I also tend to find that people who say "I will never buy your product again." tend to have never been a consumer of it in the first place. They just say that because it is an easy stick to reach for.

I find it amusing that this non-article is the highest ranking thin I have posted to date. I will attempt to refrain from such flame-bait in the future and stick to original content.

It was a combination of things that led to Johann Waldheim's professional redemption and your recommendation certainly played a role. His ability with weapons of any calibre played another along with SSG Thatguy's offenses, and my long-term defense of his character helpded a bit too. At the time however I was not privy to most of the inner working of Vince mind so I am just related what I *thought* was going on then. I was definately not dead on with m

Deadly Charisma (Part 3) Like I said, I knew I was fucked. There was no way I was going to survive a one year tour of this place if I had to work for some gung-ho “Hooah!” spouting jackasito! Understand that I had run afoul of “his kind” before and it there had been some rather bloody and under-handed battles fought for ascendancy. The difference was that in this unit here at Ft. Hood I would not have my usual advantage : The Mission. You see in all my previous assignments I had be

Link hell... who even got that far? Honestly folks if you are going to take a page and a half to say something just post an article! It no longer qualifies as a "comment" at that point... *sheesh*
