I saw an episode about a month ago where Marines were searching a house. One of the Marines was sifting through DVDs and such and remarked “These guys over here are all total porn dogs.”
That kinda stuck with me…
What a disconnect from the polite and modest muslim society we are all supposed to embrace.

I’ve heard from more than a few vets some very similar thoughts. Still, should it come as a surprise? They oppress their women and keep them comvered so much that the men likely need to release some sexual tension one way or another so hence all the porn.

As far as the dish thing, try going into the set up/install section from menu. Click on “check switch” Dish does not automatically show all sat channels without doing this. Once it does this proceedure you should see all your avalible channels on the guide. I believe the military channel is 195.

“There goes another one. This is baghdad baby”

I have a vendor that just got back from Iraq after a 1 year deployment just north of Baghdad. He says most of the insurgents they are killing are getting younger and younger. He said the last 4 months he was there, all the insurgents looked to be aroud 16 or so. He says we have whacked most of the older ones already.

Like me, he too is worried that the Iraqi people just don’t seem to have the smarts to run a decent show.

*salutes*

Apparently that channel requires satellite 148. my “Dish 1000″ only points to 119 121 & 129 – I’m not sure why. I had to upgrade to that dish when I got HD. I guess they have other ones now. Probably will require a second dish to get other satellites (think that is also true for some local HD channels in some areas – not available in NW Montana yet, unfortunately). Sorry, didt’t mean to turn this into a tech forum. I’ll call Dish

You should have it http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/whats_on_dish/programming_packages/americas_everything_pack/packages.aspx

Try the “all” guide.

Hint to all – check in often. The Pentagon channel carries live coverage of events of interest to miltary personnel without changing the description on the guide.

Also see the Pentagon channel. Channel 9405 on the Dish network. It is by and for military personnel.

Although I am supposedly subscribed to ALL Dish channels (every movie channel, HD, etc.. – think it is called the America’s Everything pak) I do not have that channel. The Dish Website says it should be included. Is it regional?

Any ideas?

Thanks

The Pentagon channel has raw coverage of people at work in Iraq and frequent news conferences from the area.

Highly recommended as an antidote to MSM spin.
