Get there “the firstest with the mostest”

You are thinking of the delta teams and task force Ranger which were in Somalia in the Fall of 1993 hunting down Warlord Aidid. See Mark Bowden’s : Black Hawk Down. I don’t remeber the name of the inital operation ( I want to say it was op restore hope but could be wrong) in any case it was spearheaded by a landing of 2000 marines. Ironically,
Aidid’s son who had come to the US for an education landed with the marines. The Marines landed the year before.

(chuckes and snickers) No I am not participating in a football pool this year, I’m just curious-
Well I was going to say the Jets would take AFC East but Chad Pennigton has been hurt and will miss a good chunk of the Season!

what do you mean? Do we allow building of factories?
movement of factories? Restricted building in captured factories?

Trying this this weekens and will kepp you posted

Making an attack when you know it will not succeed,
but just maybe it will take out enough of the enemy so that
another member of your alliance will take the teritory.

Teamwork!

And I agree - Infanty is the most important unit in AA

2 off the top of my head:

GOP:
Coming up with the Contract with America, passing
7 of 10 items then letting President Clinton take Credit for it.

Dems:
1968 Convention in Chicago

Thanks for responding everyone.
Let 's try to break this down:

Who will take each Division?
Who will be the Wild Cards?

Who goes to the Superbowl?
Who wins, and Why?

And I still want to know who your favorite teams are!

I really don’t think that the United Nations is a measure of generosity.
Pleas don’t give me that the US hasn’t paid its dues (which IS true).
US foreign aid makes up a goodly chunk of the Federal budget.
I would like to know who you feel contributes more. I can tell you
US $$ aid to help defeat AIDS in Africa is MORE than the rest of the world combined. That seems pretty generous.

Viet Nam I WILL go there my friend. This is a topic I am not afraid to defend. You did not answer the question. Which was “do you really beleive that the Gov’t of Nvn was democratic.”
The morality of communism is a different issue but I am happy also to
discuss it.

Somalia- there was a small UN releif force there that was shot at and bullied around by warlords until the US Marines went there to sort it out!
Where is the selfishness?

Ethiopia- the US took control of a crumbling UN releifg effort in 1987.
the people stopped starving where is the self interest?

Kuwait- We liberated their county and haven’t (as usual) asked for payment
where is the selfishness?

Serbia- The US took command of a weak Nato comiittment and in 80 days of air and missle strikes toppled Milosevic and insured the World Court would try him for War crimes. Where is the selfishness?

Iraq-Hey we finished the job that we should have finished a while ago.
The Mass graves un covered made me think back to WW2 and conjured up names like Belsen, Auschwitz Buchenwald. You can go there and
if you don’t understand the meaning of “all that is necesarry for Evil to triumph is for Good Men to do nothing” then you have no heart.

That was very kind of you to say so. It is absolutely the truth that the world looks to the United States whenever there is something wrong.
Why can’t we be PROUD of it? I can think of so many examples:
here’s one our friends on the left hate - when that centerpeice of Soviet Nuclear technology the Chernobyl Plant melted down we offered to
send in a team of our Nuclear scientists to help, a team of EPA people to help advise on the clean up immediately offered medical help not to mention the hundreds of private US citizens who took up collections to help. What did the Soviets do? Denied, covered up, insisted that the UNITED NATIONS send inspectors (with out a US person on the inspection team.) once they finally admitted weeks after the fact that something had happened…

We need to talk about this because Hanso’s version of history is what is being written down, not the truth!

Always respected them and would like to get Favre If i do a fantasy league this year.

I am a born and bred fan of the New York Jets. (though I live in Florida now-thank God for DirectTV).

So Ivanovitch- who will go to the Super Bowl this year?

Have you ever set up the game with one power being totally dominant
and all other nations must unite to stop that power?

One time me and a buddy were playing A&A original. I was the Allies and he was the axis. Although the Germans were just about done, the Japanese were doing very well controlling massive ammounts of the Asian mainland and most of Africa. It helped that he had industrial tech and heavy bombers (we used to play with free wd rolls if you got a six you rolled to see what you got so it wasn’t too weird if somebody had more than one…,) I didn’t put the game away so when he came by the next day for a re match he asked if I had enough! he talked trash saying he could beat me just with Japan… Well we played the game out except now the germans were against the Japanese, but only controlled Germany proper. It was a pretty wild game.

I usually play to the end even if losing.

Anyone a football fan? NFL, College?
Favorite /least favorite teams?
Who is going all the way? Who aint?

Moses I respectfully disagree the 109 was more versatille and could perfomr many ddifferent roles, the fact that it was in production until the Wars’ end demonstrates how important it was !

I am not familiar with the rule can y’all bring me up to speed?

the US is the most generous nation on the earth.

Hanso didn’t mention the Marshall plan which was millions spent to help rebuild Europe after WW2. We even gave Marshall plan $$ to the Germans and the Japanese. (The Soviets opted not to participate).

Afghanistan- do you really think it is better to leave the Taliban in charge?

Vietnam- do you really think Norht Viet nam was a democratic nation?

Hanso forgets all the time the US has intervened to help Muslim people in the last 10 years. Ethiopia, Somalia, Kuwait, Serbia, Iraq…

Dude, get it right!

The Soviets weren’t in on the Bomb project, but they knew something was up. Soviet intelligence penetrated the Manhattan project as early as 1943. (rememberr Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? They were executed for passing atomic secrets to the Soviets). The Cambridge spies- MaClean, Burgess, and Philby all highly placed in British diplomatic and intelligence circles passed on atomic secrets to the Soviets as well.

What I felt was really silly was once the decision was made that the Commandments had to go, the building manager erected a barrier around the monument so that people would be unable to see it.
“Don’t look- you might catch some religon in ya!”
I don’t know if the barrier is still there.
