wow...I want Nick's autograph...one of my favorite bands of all time!!! I got the best gift of all... love of family and friends. :wink: But the hardware is nice too: 8) new comp speakers, digital camera, games, wireless connection, candy, $... but all that fleeting hardware pales to the love... my wife and kids rock! BTW Rip.... a little too much info dude!

shotty.... :shock: OMG!....Donut tells me that picture of Ronald McDonald suicide found by a police officer in a park area is an old picture. Nonetheless, that pic gave me one of the bigget laughs I've had in quite a while!!! I guess it was even more effective after reading 3 pages of flaming on poor ol' borntokill. GAWD...... I laughed till tears streamed down my face and I could no longer breath! My youngest son enjoyed it as well. Thank you shotty, I was needing to laugh and you came through! YOU, my friend, are the true and original FORUMS GOD!!! LOLOLOL....

I've busted a hundred a few times, but not without capping! :wink: However, I remember a long, LONG, time ago (2.5 or 2.6) I was down in the canyon on Marie and was just pick'n guys off at an incredible rate. Every1 was astounded, especially me. I was using the M82 naturally (I think it was that, or perhaps another snipe rifle, can't remember), but I got to something like 32 and 0 before I died. I ended up with 40+ with only 3 deaths. It was a magical moment! 8) I find it hard anymore to rack up a good score with steam crashing as much these days! Seems like once I get a good game going, like 12-1 or 15-2, then CRAAAASH!!!! I still play more for the good time and team work...that's what jazzes me! Unfortunately there are those who think it's all about "them" and them alone and the heck with other team members! That makes for a really bad game and, usually, a bad score too! :roll:

The Kinks are a band.... a good one too! :mrgreen:

I disagree.... to a point. Now, when technology is as much part of the war as the man who wields it, sure, there is no honor in fighting. This method is too unpersonal, too dishonorable, one and hes enemy have not equal chances. Its plain butchery - a matter of who killes more. Who kills more people without names, nameless puppets. One shouldnt be concerned about them, shouldnt see them as humans, breathing, living beings, but a stray dogs, that only use for them is to be slain. Thats the view on war for last 100 years, but it started 200 - 300 years earlier (mostly with gunpowder warfare revolution). Before those honorless times, there was a time that people were fighting honorably in a meaning, that they stood man-to-man, clashed their weapons physically and the better one won. Not the one who had better technology behind him, but skill, bravery and sometimes luck. THAT was honorable fighting. Each warrior gave another a chance of winning by facing him in a fight/duel. Ky...I'm talking today. :roll: To the hundreds of vets I've counseled who have been in battle, they say, not me, but they say technology does not make killing impersonal. They still see the body parts, the smell of burnt flesh, maggots, on and on. Death is death no matter how it is achieved. As for honor, well, again, the vets I talk to don't give a *edit* about that. It is an abstract imaginary feeling. It quickly disappears when the brutality of death hits the fan. Not one vet, NONE, I have spoken with talk about honor. To them it is a misnomer by people who have not experienced first hand the hell of combat. I agree Gator! :wink:

Well, personally, I think cow might be on to something (or just on something), but I was just wondering.... has anyone asked the fish how they feel about this? 8) Maybe they should have a say! Let's get OJ Simpson's lawyers back to defend the rights of the fish! :shock: Maybe that might clarify things a bit! :wink:

War is hell. Have just completed a grief counseling seesion with family members of a unit who lost 4 men. There is no honor and glory in war. It is a matter of survival...period. These guys and gals are doing a mission. They only have each other to depend on to get it done. Every veteran I have counseled who has been in combat is changed forever, and not all for the good. A WW2 vet I counsel wakes up EVERY NIGHT. It has been that way for him for 50 years! The question is not whether or not war is cool or can be transfered to pixels on a computer screen. The question is whether real brothers and sisters are giving their lives for a good policy or bad policy? Will a Muslim country, led by warlords for centuries, accept American democracy? We know now its not about nuclear weapons or al Quada. So what is the policy we are giving our children to die for in Iraq? President Bush and nearly all experts agree terrorism is a war that will never be "won." So how do we fight it? This is beyond "cool" or "realistic mod."

Welcome and have fun!!!
-
Just a quick thanks to all the nice comments about TAC and our clan! :mrgreen: Yes, I agree it is the fun and relationships that make it fun. Combined with some real strategy and effort to win, it is all good. It is really sad that someone is so bored, frustrated, angry with their life that they need to lash out in this way. I will send good thoughts out to the guy who did all this, hope he finds some help, and a good lawyer 8) who will be able to pay the bills!

This says it all for me. Long live FA! And Gator...thank you for all your work to make this happen!
-
Great sig Holy!!! I would like to see you dressed as a blue FA soldier! Make sure you have ample Holy Antioch nades on the ammo belt! Maybe a dead white rabbit on the barrel of your gun. Cammo paint on the face... and bubble messages on cardboard that read "Over hear...I need a medic," "Cover me!!!" and "Get Down!!!" Of course, bein' a woman, you could glam it up a bit, 8) but I think being an FA grunt would be funny! Whatever you do, have fun and be safe!
-
OMG :shock: ... I have had that happen and it is NOT funny!!! Thankfully I can laugh all these years later ...fortunately been able to have 3 children! :wink: Seeing that picture however gives me painful flashbacks... :shock:
