Seems terribly odd to me. I've always thought of execution as a punishment reserved for those with no honor.

So, anybody else read the unedited oopsie version? For those that haven't and can deal with spoilers, I'll post some plot points. SPOILERS IN . . . . 10 . . . . 9 . . . . 8 . . . . 7 . . . . 6 . . . . 5 . . . . 4 . . . . 3 . . . . 1 . . . . NOW 1) 10th Fleet is reconstituted with Henke in command, b...

Stewart, just a nit, but 3,000 divisions? All mechanized? Dude, it costs roughly three billion a year to run a mechanized division in peace time, I don't even want to know what it costs during wartime. You're basically saying that the world's defense spending is going to jump at least nine-fold just...

History's view on that depends on which historian you listen to. One of the letters we have from Lee's own hand uses language that can be interpreted in a number of ways, though many simply take it as Lee being a deeply religious man and believing that if the great men of the Bible owned slaves, th...

Exactly. Deceased SEAL

I just got this image of a unit patch with a white seal holding a club and a supine demon.

Nah, too complicated. A seal balancing a decapitated demon head on its nose would be perfect.

Question. Isn't what Kim is doing technically treason?

I don;t believe that hypothesis is actually held by anyone. You will never eliminate crime and criminals. Arming the populace would certainly not eliminate them, but it would make criminals a lot more cautious. It's probably no coincidence that Canada and England have more B&E's per capita than...

Look at Africa: every time large shipments of arms go in, there's a spike in tribal violence and civil wars. Or Mexico, where more than 80% of their criminal gang weapons come from the US. You dump shitloads of weapons into an area, and violence follows. The fact is that demon/angel incursions are ...

A rather ironic statement. If someone values his own honour or his beliefs above human life, I would think that anyone would want to watch his back around him . Not really. You can always trust somebody with a truly overblown sense of honor to make a challenge known before they try to kill you. Tha...

Since I'm a layman when it comes to military matters, could you enlighten me what the difference is? Operational command is basically the Colonel saying, "Hey, heard you chaps needed a hand with these blighters, so I brought along my battalion. Say, seeing as how I'm a Colonel and you're a Lie...

It's polite to use each others' terms of respect. It would be like, if you were Japanese, calling you Shroom San, even though it means nothing in English. Ah, first the proper use is Shroom-san. And it does mean something, being the equivalent of Mister or Misses. You also have honorifics such as -...

Once they're in theater it isn't a problem. So long as one has a reasonable idea as to how the battlefield is shaped and can plan air support beforehand, it isn't all that difficult. It becomes extremely difficult when an enemy achieves a surprise breakthrough and air support is needed to kill the t...

I think the deployment of burning sulfur is irrelevant, really, since it can easily be proved that Belial's strategic strike produced gases which are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Under that, the Geneva Convention doesn't apply. Further, did Russia ever sign the Conventi...

I have to say that normally I wouldn't read a 'Trek or 'Wars fanfic, but the title just reeled me in. I also have to say that not only am I not disappointed in having read the first couple chapters, I'm freaking delighted. This story is epic.

I don't know if it'd really work in the storyline, especially with what we're already discussed about finding one particular person amongst tens of billions, but I do admit the fangirlish part of me would go squee (points at sig). You're a fellow fan of Sherman's BBQ as well? Probably the best pit ...

You know who I want to see? Gustavus Adolphus. I want the God of War to lay the smack down on a Baldric legion. Won't happen, but I'd still like to see it. Or, perhaps better yet, William T. Sherman. If Gustavus is the God of War, Sherman is his Jesus.

They're alright, but I find myself liking home vids the best. You get a lot of hot looking girls and very few have boob jobs and/or poor scripts.

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/6494/motivator4624758tc1.th.jpg For some reason the look on this chick's face just pisses me off. I've seen it on other girls, usually stereotypical blonds, and it never fails to make me see red. Don't know why, since I'm usually fairly laid back. Nice rack, though.

You'd be surprised at the odd choices people will make when confronted with a flood of lava. Anybody who's from the area would run for the bridge and hope for the best. Trust me when I say you have a better chance of survival going through gang territory wearing another gang's colors. After all, th...

I do hope we get to see more of the carnage in Detroit. I researched and planned it so well :evil: And you still managed to miss the River Rouge plant ;) I'm actually upset you destroyed the Connor Ave plant, since that means Viper production is going to be shut down (as well as Dodge's advanced dr...

I don't know if you guys have ever seen Ambassador Bridge, but the two ends are on dirt rises and the supports themselves are in the river. I'm curious myself what effect the lava will have in the river, given that Detroit River is noted for its extremely strong currents (as in, swimming in it shoul...

It's a sad statement on the preponderance of sloppy thinking and semi-illiteracy in this country when people with shitty grammar and spelling think that anyone who tries to correct them is a "Nazi". I don't think you quite understand what a grammar nazi is. Quite often I'll catch mistakes...

Most still use the BMP-2, and heck in 1991 many Soviet units still had the BMP-1 or more often BTRs only. BMP-3 production only started in 1987, so not all that many rolled off the lines before shutdown in 1991. Production since then has been sporadic, a couple major export orders but only handfuls...

Let me guess, there'd be a few more craters on good 'ol Luna. Luna would then be a major exporter of plate glass, yes?

Depending on where in Detroit the portal opens, could this attack actually phase the wartime production of the US? I would think there's a lot of vehicle production going on in the Motor City. Did we ever get hard figures about how much of Sheffield was destroyed? No, the major auto factories are o...
