  1. Doesn't jump out at me as being ALL THAT out of whack. I would say that a large percentage of blacks were infantry, but helicopter crews suffered the highest casualty rate. One Huey pilot I know graduated from FT Rucker in 1965. His class' casualty rate was 1:13. That's pretty bad odds. I did find this: Ethnic background: 88.4% of the men who actually served in Vietnam were Caucasian, 10.6% (275,000) were black, 1.0% belonged to other races 86.3% of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasian (including Hispanics) 12.5% (7,241) were black. 1
  2. You are my hero. I missed Vietnam by about three years because of you. I owe ya big. Much obliged.
  3. I have one uncle who served in The Gulf of Tonkin on the USS Enterprise and another that flew Huey and Cobra gunships out of An Khe . My wife's uncle fought the Japanese on Iwo Jima, Saipan and Tinian Islands. To try to differentiate which was worse would be impossible. When bullets are flying, bombs are bursting, your buddy's brains are splattering you, it just really doesn't matter what country you are in. As for the "greatest generation", I have to agree with News Junky. That WWII generation takes it hands down. BTW, if you want some reading that will put you in the middle of th
  4. I did it every year. And then go to a party
  5. I ate there about three weeks ago an it was the nastiest hamburger I have ever had. It was so bad that the waitress didn't charge me for it. It is hard to screw up a freakin hamburger.
  6. I know nothing about the Sikh religion but I am more surprised that it is okay to wear a t-shirt.
  7. To put hands free paper towel dispensers, soap dispensers and water faucets in all public bathrooms. All bathroom doors open toward the exit.
  8. I have seen dumber things than this at a boat ramp. This is prime time for watching fools at the ramps. Anything that floats will be on the lake this weekend. My boat will be in the garage.
  9. Where, pray tell, is this hotel with cocaine in the drawer? I need to do some investigative work.
  10. Maybe they should put a copy of the atheist hymnal in there too.
  11. I'm betting you didn't. (Learn it the hard way that is).
  12. Obviously in times like this we just do not posses enough descriptive words to express ourselves. Here is an example: "Not to be pessimistic... but we think the death toll will continue to climb as we find more bodies," Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb said on CNN.
  13. What has caused Eddie's obsession with Michael Vick?
  14. Christianity is the religion of the founders of this country. Not Islam. We have been good enough to let the Muslims worship their so-called "god.". It will be a cold day in hell when we let them dictate what we can and can't do religiously. Stick that up your camel's ass and smoke it.
  15. Poor guy reporting for TWC broke down on camera.
  16. Bettes is at Briarwood Elementary and is saying all the kids and faculty are okay. There was two elementary schools hit. Plaza Towers E.S. was also hit. Densely populated area (I'm looking at it on Google Maps). Mike Bettes just became one of my favorite reporters. Genuine guy. Damn it! Just heard there are two dozen kids that are fatalities. That hurts.
  17. The Weather Channel's Mike Bettes has had to keep from crying three times since I started watching a few minutes ago.
  18. No fair answering your own questions.
  19. My LDL cholesterol is 76.
  20. I say lets vote on it. I say that side of town needs some development. It is for the betterment of the county as a whole.
  21. Gosh I hope so. If not, the guy I screamed that at today is going to think I am c-r-a-z-y. When I yelled "hey you SOB', he seemed to know who I was talking to.
