"The U.S. Army and Air Force Exchange Service, which distributes films
at 164 theaters on bases around the world, is trying to book
"Fahrenheit 9/11 ," spokesman Judd Anstey says.

"Our policy is that if a film is popular in the U.S. and we can get

Thanks for the info Felton.

I will give Judd a call right away. Then I will give my senators all
call, after that the governer.

I'd hate to see all the mess halls and theaters destroyed on Military
bases and ships around the world.

And in the sceme of things... Spiderman was 20 times more popular and
500 times as truthful and realistic.

Face it, GW Bush is the worst thing to happen to the US Military since LBJ
and Kennedy's Whiz Kids. He's spending $billions/month, and killing our
best and finest, to "liberate" Iraq, just like LBJ did to "liberate" Vietnam
and, like LBJ, he's delaying and even cancelling critical military R&D and
procurement to pay for his blunder. Thanks to LBJ, American pilots were
flying planes designed decades earlier, generations behind the Soviets and
even the French! Thanks to GWB, American pilots are flying F-18s which like
the Phantom are a good plane but decades old, instead of the latest stealth
fighters. Thanks to LBJ our troops faced the soviets with outdated tanks -
Abrams development having been delayed because funds had been diverted to
'nam. How old is the Abrams today? Is a replacement on the way anytime
soon? Why not? Why are the scientists and engineers working to improve the
Tomahawk systems that have proved so valuable looking for work? Because the
money got shot up in Iraq! We're burning up so much ammo - billions of
round at well over $1/each - that we're forced to buy Brit and Israeli
surplus. I won't get into the parallels between LBJs war and GWBs war on
military moral. Nor will I speculate on what the folks who maintain our
waterways could do with the $billions Bush is blowing in Iraq.

Bush supporters like Joe must really hate our military.

Your Nutter than a pecan pie. Since 911 thinks have been allot
different. We must now go out find and kill the terrorist before they
kill us. It's that plain and simple. As you can see every night on TV
terrorist are in Iraq. I rather kill them in Iraq than in Texas, makes
such a mess ya know.

bussiness is booming and has been for a while in the military sector.
They can not find enough engineers. I know your full of it on that
one.

Guess you havent heard, We are flying all types of Stelth fighters and
bombers.
They were the first fixed wing aircraft in bagdad.


Thanks to LBJ our troops faced the soviets with outdated tanks -
Abrams development having been delayed because funds had been diverted to
'nam. How old is the Abrams today?


It's the best tank in the world. Who are we in a arms race with?
Tanks are going to obselete soon. It will all be ROV's We can keep the
abram updated enough to go against any tank on earth and win.


Is a replacement on the way anytime
soon? Why not?


See above


Why are the scientists and engineers working to improve the
Tomahawk systems that have proved so valuable looking for work? Because the
money got shot up in Iraq!


Because they have moved on to better things.



We're burning up so much ammo - billions of
round at well over $1/each - that we're forced to buy Brit and Israeli
surplus.


Who says? Back it up.....

I know you and Kerry would have them using slingshots....
Regardless we will buy and Mfg all we need to finish the job.
It a good thing to replace all your ammo every few years anyway.

I won't get into the parallels between LBJs war and GWBs war on
military moral.


Of course you wont. The Troops Love Bush, and like last time they
voted the will elect Bush


Nor will I speculate on what the folks who maintain our
waterways could do with the $billions Bush is blowing in Iraq.


Dont get all upset, Iraq will pay us back. Your marina owner needs to
dredge his own channel. Why do you insist that the man do... what your
landlord shoud do?

Bush supporters like Joe must really hate our military.


Like this guy in Bagdad right Vito?

(EXCERPT) June 4 (Bloomberg) -- Angered by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks
on New York and Washington, Tom Garloch joined the U.S. Army and went
to Iraq, helping to secure a town northeast of Baghdad. Now home in
Columbus, Ohio, Garloch is volunteering in another fight: getting
President George W. Bush re-elected.

``He's my hero,'' Garloch, 26, said in a telephone interview. ``I find
it a source of inspiration that there's a guy up there in charge of it
all that has some staying power, who means what he says and says what
he means.''

Garloch's support reflects Bush's sway with a majority of the nation's
26 million veterans even as Democratic challenger John Kerry seeks to
weaken the Republican advantage by touting his Navy service in
Vietnam. Kerry, who today is announcing a 50-state effort to organize
1 million veterans to help him, had the support of 41 percent of them
in a CBS News poll last month.

Bush, 57, will be able to reinforce his role as commander in chief at
events such as Sunday's visit to Normandy, marking the 60th
anniversary of the D-Day invasion of France by Allied forces in World
War II. Polls also show that most Americans consider Bush more capable
than Kerry, 60, a four-term Massachusetts senator, on national
security issues.

``They'll get more military votes than we will because the military
has a tendency to be Republican,''...

******

So it is plain and clear Vito is a Kerry type person.
He is two faced, Lies like a dog, and will try to twist the truth.

Why you ask? So us tax payers have to give him a fat welfare check,
blocks of cheese, and dredge the channel up to his lousy marina. He's
just in it for the bucks.

Stealth fighters are not that--they are stealth bombers.
You are comparing apple with oranges and making
loose comparisions that make little sense, like the
rest of your post.

The F-18 is a totally differenty type of aircraft.

Most American pilots in the Middle East are flying F-15's
and F-16's with thrust to weight ratios greater than 1, can
accellerate straight up. The F-18 is comparable technology
--which can by no means be compared to the F-4 Phantom
which is 1960's technology.

The F-15K is the best bird flying today, and flown by the
best pilots in the world..

The future?
The F-22, coming soon to a war near you.

Correct. And I would imagine that the stealth aricraft were withdrawn
from the theater ops once the initial strikes were carried out and more
conventional forces were in place.


The F-18 is a totally differenty type of aircraft.


Agreed. The F-18 is a great plane strike aircraft with air superiority
capabilities. It is hardly an antique, it's service life has not yet
approached that of the venerable F-4.

Except that the F-4 was an exceptional plane in it's day, as is the F-15
and F-18.


The F-15K is the best bird flying today, and flown by the

It's a BIG plane with awesome capabilities... by far the best air
superiority fighter in current service. BTW one of their primary
training bases is Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro NC. We see them all
the time, I'll say hello for you next time we drive by ;)

The F-16 is a fast-turnaround forward deployable joint mission plane
that is intended to be cheaper, easier to maintain, and able to serve in
some ground attack roles. Obviously it has to give up something as a
straight air-to-air fighter, and it does.

All this goobledygook like "forward deployable" sounds like gibberish
but it means something with regard to military strategy & tactics. It's
like describing how knights, bishops, rooks etc move & capture in a game
of chess.



The future?
The F-22, coming soon to a war near you.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-22.htm


They were talking about developing a carrier-capable version of the F-22
but I haven't heard about that for a while. It's been in the pipeline
for a long time.

a day or two before the 4th of july, i was aboard, when hearing the sound of
what i thought was a VERY low flying jet, i hit my hit on the companionway
(2nd time this happened) to discover that not more than 150-200 feet in
altitude, 4 fighters roared overhead.
i don't know what they were, as i don't have the specific knowledge to
differentiate models: but they are impressive.

for a while this was an unsettling common site and sound here in NY. i
remember hearing them roar up and down the hudson river at 2:00-3:00-4:00 in
the morning. my office is along the hudson river and would see then during
the day many times.

then there are the coast guard gun ships that patrolled and guarded key
places around NY.
indian point nuclear facility
NY harbor
the entrance to hells gate..............effectively surrounding NYC.

in fact one night, shortly after 9/11 i decided to go sailing to get away
from the smoke dust, and solemn event which enveloped this city.
(have a habit of sailing at night) when the coast guard decided it may be in
they're interest to understand what a sailboat was doing out at 2:00 am.
they were Professional and Serious.

for all the political crap flying these days, i'm impressed by the highly
focused and effective effort of this government and this administration (not
withstanding other criticisms i may have).............perhaps out in the
wheatfields or the west coast, people don't understand this, i don't know
and can't speak to that (and no offense intended). But for all the
criticisms of our war efforts in Afghanisatn and Iraq: some of us have
already lived thru part of this war, and maybe that affects a difference in
a political viewpoint.

yeah i remember 9/11 all too well.
sorry for getting off topic
yep--the fighters are beautiful things.

That's right Bart - if you're stuck in the past and present. The F-22 is a
stealthy fighter, is it not? The URL says it is. So why are we talking about
bombers? Future fighters will be even more stealthy if we can afford to
develop and build them and pay for Bush's Folly too. If that's beyond you
I'm sure little of what I say makes sense to you.

The F-22, coming soon to a war near you.

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-22.htm


So let me put it in a way even you might understand.

Is the F-22 better? Yes! When will they replace what we're flying now?
When we can afford to buy them of course. Wouldn't that happen sooner if we
were NOT wasting $BILLIONs on Bush's Folly? Of Course! Meantime, our pilots
a flying planes that are not as good as F-22s - right? That means GWB is
screwing our guys just like LBJ did to finance his folly.

Now ask "How's the development of planes even better than the F-22 coming
along?" Answer: not as well as it would if the project had more funds -
like some of the $$$ wasted in Iraq. So future generations of pilots will be
flying F-22s after they're outdated too. That's how Bush is screwing the
military. Get the point?
