I found that disagreeable and repugnant and was a blatant attempt to violate the spirit if not the letter of the "personal attack" rule. I have suspended Bill Greenwoods account for 7 days.

Randy, last week there was a TV news report on civilain deaths from US bombing in Afganistan. Don't worry, your name was not mentioned. It did give a death toll, seems like 54? for a number of incidents. The last one which was detailed was of an incident where 9 civilains were killed when an F-15 or two dropped 2 1000 lb bombs on a village, (can't recall the name). The eye catching part was an interview with the Afgan president Karhzai ? in which he directly called for a cessation of U S airpower there because of the civilian deaths. My question is has the U S honored his request as far as bombing attacks on civilan targets? And cheerup, if they ground the 15s, I'm sure they'll provide you a replacement like an Osprey.


Yes, as far as I know we're regularly targeting civilians. I mean, I'm not over there anymore so I can't participate in the civilian killing blood orgy occurring currently...but I'd have to guess that the US military is up to the "business as usual" of killing babies.

That's our business, you know. We're a bunch of bloodlust-crazed maniacs who are out to blast anything that moves. It's all about the thrill of the kill.

Thanks for asking.


Randy, you are one funny sumbitch :P I got an image of Elmer fudd with his shotgun for a second there :lol:

Noooo Biiiill! Who will I have to defend the saner point of view (sometimes) for a whole week?

Who's even talking about "Bubbleheads"?

They exist in their own catagory as having "Special Needs" and thus are not granted the same Pillaging rights as the rest of the surface fleet. :wink:

To add something back on topic here...

In the late 90's when I was in the Navy our Hornets were all grounded because a Hornet on the Independence had a main mount failure on the Cat stroke. It took a few weeks to get the "failing" piece replaced fleet wide and the Navy Lawn Dart was back in the air KEEPING THE PEACE.

I'm surprised Boeing did not try and Blame it on Mac-Doug. :lol:

Most sincerely,

I gotta say, that has to be one of the rudest comments I have even seen on the interweb.

I will never go out of my way to meet you at any airshow Bill.

Grow up and be a man someday............if you ever can.

Wow ... I'm off the 'net for a couple of days and all hey'all breaks loose ...

As somebody who knows Randy personally - not just 'virtually' - I am livid at that personal attack. Unwarranted, personally insulting, snide, and childish.

Wade
