  1. Shit man, I am a Spanish speaking white dude, born in Thailand (Dad was there serving as a SF Officer) and I carry my passport card. Showed to the family I am staying with. He is a retired SF Colonel, wife is Jordanian. Yep, she carries hers. No one is safe unless you are Amish, and well ya know you cannot trust them.

  3. It ain't the same as it is in the Dominican Republic. Was the first beer I ever had. love it. And nah, it ain't just cuz it is hot in the DR. It is a damn good beer.
  4. But you are paying for it. And you know it. Tell Verizon you don't want it, and drop your rate or you will switch to Metro. You still have dial up in Lubbock right?
  5. About this image. From BBC "There's something in the nature of a still image that deeply affects the viewer and stays with them," says Ben Wright, associate director for communications at the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History. The centre, based at the University of Texas at Austin, houses Adams's archive of photos, documents and correspondence. "The film footage of the shooting, while ghastly, doesn't evoke the same feelings of urgency and stark tragedy." But the photo did not - could not - fully explain the circumstances on the streets of Saigon on 1 February 1968, two days after the forces of the People's Army of Vietnam and the Viet Cong launched the Tet Offensive. Dozens of South Vietnamese cities were caught by surprise. Heavy street fighting had pitched Saigon into chaos when South Vietnamese military caught a suspected Viet Cong squad leader, Nguyen Van Lem, at the site of a mass grave of more than 30 civilians. Adams began taking photos as Lem was frogmarched through the streets to Loan's jeep. Loan stood beside Lem before pointing his pistol at the prisoner's head. "I thought he was going to threaten or terrorise the guy," Adams recalled afterwards, "so I just naturally raised my camera and took the picture." Lem was believed to have murdered the wife and six children of one of Loan's colleagues. The general fired his pistol. "If you hesitate, if you didn't do your duty, the men won't follow you," the general said about the suddenness of his actions.
  6. Yep, I know I messed up. And I gave a whopping tree fiddy. That damn loch ness monster probably used it to buy girl scout cookies.
  7. We have, but I think we keep Al Udeid and some of the smaller bases in the UAE and supply depots in Oman. We had those before the invasion of Iraq.

  20. DR? Nah. He lost that shit in the club or tried to pay off some coke debt. Or bought a gold chain. Lawyer has his eyes on his house(s) and farm(s). Cutting a deal with the family. But he was sent to a mental institute. In the DR can decide to appoint someone with direct power of attorney over you. When my mom was real sick (Parkinson) they gave it automatically to my brother.

  22. And the Supreme Court? Yeah they are pissed.
  23. We've just seen a statement from Hamas, who say their negotiating team in Doha have survived Israel's strike on the Qatari capital. In a statement, it says: "We confirm the enemy's failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation." It adds the strike "confirms beyond doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement" for peace. The statement adds that six others were killed in the strike. "We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime, due to its ongoing support for the aggression and crimes of the occupation against our people," the statement adds. As a reminder, Hamas earlier said their negotiating delegation was targeted during its meeting in Doha after Israel said it carried out a strike on senior Hamas leaders.
