"Mail Call"

Post by jegs2 »

Today, one of my soldiers greeted me with, "I saw you on TV last night, sir." I raised an eyebrow, wondering if I were in some kind of trouble. Two other soldiers echoed the first and explained that I was on "Mail Call" on the History Channel. So it appears they re-ran that segment about the IBCT/Digital Battlefield, wherein I've a small piece, pointing at a map during a brief. Nice to be famous for a day...

I saw you on that episode. I was watching with a few friends. I pointed you out and acted like we went way back. :D Actually, at the time I was not sure which one was you, just that one of them was you. :)

Awww DAMN man. I hate missing that show but so much work. :cry: ~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I saw you, both times; I've also noticed a lot of Strykers. Me thinks the Army is conspiring with the shows producers to show off the Stryker at every possibul opportunity.

I'd think the process really gets fun when someone consults a 1950's field manual, and decides the radio aerials ought to be hidden ten kilometers away on the far side of a ridge just in case the enemy triangulates and uses a nuke against them.

Weren't you the one with the NBC glasses on? I've seen your pic a couple times and the Zero with the BCG (NBC style) looked just like you so I only assumed it was you. :D
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Well, thank you. Speaking of cute, I'm glad you adopted that Final Fantasy (animated, no less) avatar -- reminds me of the old POKE, QUIT! one you initially had...
