Which would be why our taxes are used to PAY THEM.

During the Gulf War, I was at RAF Welford, UK, which was a little base with no planes, just bombs. (Enough to carpet bomb Iraq everyday for a year!) Anyway, we were shipping all those bombs down to the Gulf area and we borrowed some pencil pushers from RAF Greenham Common to help us out. To mess with them we’d take a hammer and pound on the side of a Mk-84 (2,000 pd bomb) and they were like “HEY! Don’t do that!” We said “Don’t worry, if it goes off you won’t even feel it!” They go “THAT’S NOT FUNNY MAN! You Ammo guys are SICK!” HA! Of course there was no danger as the bomb was not even armed, but the look on their faces…!

However, being a career Avionics Tech in the Navy (1982-2003) my money goes to Chaotic Synaptic Activity.

As I posted at Patterico, good work always needs more attention, and this is GOOD work.

Tony, LOL!

I was redlined to Ramstein out of tech school after the Bader-Meinhof gang took a bite out of USAFE HQ. Spent a awful lot of time babysitting some of our more…uh, impressive ordnance, as well as some of the Army’s. I watched them drop one off a forklift once. That inspired my partner and I to a stirring rendition of the Gap Band’s “You dropped a bomb on me” over the vehicle’s PA system, which they didn’t appreciate nearly as much as we did. :-)

Man, the Cold War made for some good times!

Project Valour-IT is a wonderful thing to do to help those folks who have given so much, and I greatly encourage people to help.

But if I may allow me to put in a plug for our project at the Coalition of The Swilling to help Marines currently serving over in Iraq. As most of you are aware nothing raises the spirits of troops like getting mail and packages, so please come over and ‘adopt’ some of our Marines.

Thanks.

At that time I had no use of either hand. I know how humbling it is, how humiliating it feels. And I know how much better I felt, how amazingly more functional I felt, after Soldiers’ Angels provided me with…

I sent this to some of my BDS friends telling them “this is something we can all agree on.” Their response was “WHere is the place where we can donate to Bush’s impeachment”.

I challenge all the liberals to a contest. I think conservatives can out – give you. You say you are for the troops. It’s time to get rid of the AMHA disease (Alligator Mouth – Hummingbird a-hole) and walk the talk.

Let’s help our soldiers out!
