    Indian patrol vessel to sail for Malaysian port

    I like the Norwegian Skjold-class patrol boats. I would like to see Iraq get some of these! Stealthy, 76mm autocannon, 12.7mm machine guns, Mistral SAM, and 8 NSMs carried internally, and they go 60 knots!

    Indian navy captures 61 pirates in Arabian Sea

    "Catch-and-release" works well in sport fishing, not so well in crime-fighting. FYI, piracy is a crime.

    US State Dept spokesman resigns

    Here in the United States it is more important to understand WHY something happened. The spokesman resigned because he said something stupid in support of a traitor. As far as "learn[ing] to follow instructions," here in the United States there is a thing called "freedom of speech." Perhaps...

    Iran's indigenous self-propelled howitzer unveiled

    Last thing first, I don't hate Iran or Iranians or even you in particular. I was a draftee in 1980 and was horrified by what I saw on both sides of that useless war. I will admit to not having any use for the current theocratic system in Iran and having nothing but disgust for your president and...

    US State Dept spokesman resigns

    If Bradley Manning was a member of any Middle Eastern military, by now he would have been tried (maybe), convicted, and executed for treason.

    Iran's indigenous self-propelled howitzer unveiled

    Was that meant to be an insult to all Iraqis or just to me? If so, you need to work on it. Perhaps you meant to say: "At least Iraq is LESS impressive than Iran." In any event, in my lifetime I have seen first hand Saddam's military and the Iranian military in action, and I have seen truly...

    S-Korea sent a 5-member rescue team to Japan, a funny thing happened now

    Remember the big argument over some Americans posting about Pearl Harbor in response to the earthquake in Japan? Do you remember the post where someone said that some "right wing" Japanese were concerned that any teams from South Korea might result in "illegal immigration?" I think the cartoon...

    Chinese and Pakistan Signal the Rest of the World

    I am not trying to take sides. I only have one interest in this conversation, and it is accidental. Someone used the phrase "...tow the line...," and that is annoying me. The phrase is "toe the line." Please stop using "tow the line." Thank you.

    Pictures of Women in the Armed Forces

    From what I understand, American pilots of combat aircraft, male or female, go wherever they are needed. Women helicopter pilots, fighter pilots, transport pilots, have all served in combat zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Pictures of Women in the Armed Forces

    ^^^^I swear that this last girl looks like my granddaughter! The closest I got to anything like this when I was in the Army was an old Iranian woman throwing rocks at us and swearing at us in Persian. (We may have deserved it.)
