  1. @300mag Enough Said.. Stout Hearts Warhawk
  2. Well tollen this is one thing that I can honestly say I agree 100% on. The bigger the better. You know the old southern saying....(with my best southern accent) If ya'll can't run with the big dogs you best be staying on the porch! Stout Hearts Warhawk
  3. Can anyone tell me if you can modify the original GR maps using IGOR only? If so is there a manual or tute that I could get my hands on? I can't seem to find the IGOR manual from RSE. Stout Hearts Warhawk
  4. @budgie The US has never failed, as far as I know, to come to the aid of any free democratic country. Hey for a novel example, just ask France. Not only did we, like many other countries at the time, come not only to the aid of France but many other european nations during the early 40's but also early on in the 1900's. And then again the French asked the US for help in Vietnam. Once we were there the French bailed on their own colony. That's right Vietam was a colony of France. As far as Taiwan goes, you can bet that the US will not stand idly by while some communist country invade
  5. I sometimes can't help but wonder if the countries crying the most about the US's policy abroad are not the same countries with grander designs? Could it be that countries like China and North Korea, for example, would love to see the US stop getting involved in other people's buisness long enough that they could expand their own borders? How many countries would be "annexed" if countries like the UK and US just minded their own buisness while countries like France and Russia said things like "dont do that" or "can't we all just get along?"

  6. @300 mag At first I wasn't going to post anything here tonight but then I read what you put up. If we were in church right now I would be saying.... PREACH IT BROTHER PREACH IT!!! Stout Hearts Warhawk
  7. First off I don't think anyone, who has served in the military whether having been under fire or not, wants to see a war. I for one, dispite the nickname I use, do not want to see wars of any kind. However, I feel that we as a society and indeed a world are sometimes left with no alternative. To those that point to the 12 year gap of leadership and say "what happened" I would say you only have to look at who our president was for 2/3's of that time. It's unfortunate that this has fallen into President Bush's lap but since it's there at least he has the courage to deal with it. If w
  8. For those who got to see Colin Powel today at the UN I think we can say that the UN is nearing a deadline of it's own. Will it continue to be a place for the countries of the world to meet and attempt to work out their differences? Or will it become a chapter in history that will be talked about in the future and compared to the former League of Nations? Iraq may be standing at the edge of a cliff but so is the UN. To those who say give us proof, what more do you need? If you didn't get to see it Colin Powels speech is posted on the US State Department's web site as well as on CNN's web
  9. @Budgie When I made mention of some Arab people not hating the US and used Kuwait to emphasize my point I had in the forefront of my mind serveral interviews conducted by a CNN Corespondent, who's name fails me at the moment, in Kuwait City's fish market. There he not only interviewed Kuwaiti citizens, who for obvious reasons are still very thankful to the US and it's coalition partners of 1991, but also a Lebonese (forgive me if I have mispelled that) woman and an Egyptian man. All of whom said that they not only support what the US is doing now but have no quarrel with the US or it's al
  10. @300 mag ABSOLUTELY Enough Said Stout Hearts Warhawk
  11. @Sgt. Crocodile: As far as to your question about the Islamic world hating the US. That is not true. Kuwait does not hate the US for one example. Secondly the people who claim to follow the religion of Islam and claim to hate the US. Their disklike for the US comes from the US's policy toward Israel. And this hatred is not limited to the US. It is extended to anyone who backs Israel. Additionally some groups like Al-Queada (I know that is not spelled correctly) also dislike the fact that there are Americian forces stationed in Saudi Arabia. As far as why should we attack Iraq wh
  12. I too find myself agreeing with 300mag. The UN, as I remember from my history, was founded on a basic and guiding principle. Over the decades it has gotton away from that principle. Now it seems that if a country elects to protect itself against the UN's wishes they are criticised for it. It seems to me that the countries that are the stongest opponents to the current crisis with Iraq are the very same countries that look to the US for monetary help the quickest. I won't even begin to mention France who has had the help of not only the rest of the free world but the US twice in repelling
  13. I too would love to know how you do that. As would many others I think. Stout Hearts Warhawk
  14. When I said that the US was not the only country to leave the LN what I meant was is that the LN didn't become weak by the US leaving. Also what I meant by the misconception at the time was the prevailing attitude of countries prior to Sept. 1939 was to avoid war at all cost even if it meant giving into Hitler. This was not just the attitude of the US but of Britian and France just to name a few. So there was enough blame to go around for the start of WWII. Ok now on the second point, maybe I am reading too much into this but here is a cut and paste of the last thing that wicked weasel s
  15. Reminds me of a time when I went up with a Tomcat driver and accused him of being and Air Force Pilot. Long story short, I started that day with a full stomach. I didn't finish with it. I will post that one sometime. Stout Hearts Warhawk
  16. @TRC Thank you for your eloquent post. I had looked to this section before and had seen some of the comments put here and was in the process of putting together a response of my own. I like you, do not accept the argument that President Bush is a ######. If people want to try and use quotes to prove that point then they are looking in the wrong place for proof. I have yet to see a President or Vice-President yet, Democrat or Republician, who hasn't said something that was either incorrect or simply mistated only to have it come back to haunt them later. It is easy to call someone a ######
  17. Where did you hear this from? Has anyone else heard this? Stout Hearts Warhawk
  18. This was my post on the "Pinned-Breaking News Shuttle Down" Thread. I repeat it here in response to your post. As a side note not all of the members of Columbia were civilians. As many have already said it is a sad day. Certaintly no one is going to feel this loss more than the families themselves. Watching the newsclips I couldn't help but feel my own since of loss as I have always considered those that were and still do wear a military uniform my brothers and sisters.

  19. As many have already said it is a sad day. Certaintly no one is going to feel this loss more than the families themselves. Watching the newsclips I couldn't help but feel my own since of loss as I have always considered those that were and still do wear a military uniform my brothers and sisters. Those of us that have served in the military know about the special bond that develops between each other and it is indeed sorrowful when we loose one of our own. To the spirits of the crew of Columbia from this former sailor, may you find a strong wind at your backs and a following sea for you wi
  20. Don't forget the liberals promised to do just that too!!!! Stout Hearts Warhawk
  21. @snakebite1967 No one who loves freedom ever really wants bloodshed but as I am sure you understand sometimes it is necessary. It's unfortunate too but all to often those who impose tyranny only understand bloodshed. I think this is something that wasn't even lost on the honourable Sir Winston Churchill. Like you I don't really want to see the pics of dead civies or any of my bothers and sisters in arms (whether Americian, British, or anyone else in uniform), but if it comes to that then it's on Saddam's head. It is always with great trepadation that I talk about war. To understand the
  22. the only problem with that is, will the next guy be worse than Saddam? But still without a doubt he should be removed, but what to do after that?? ragodamdiculus-Please refer to my post in the "general off topic posts" section. It is the post titled Winston Churchill Stout Hearts Warhawk
  23. @whitenight77- lol..ha ha...very funny.... Stout Hearts Warhawk
  24. I don't think speed of descent isnt the issue here. Its about how fast you can get off the rope. rapelling means you have to unhook yourself. Fastroping means you just let go of it. (Watch me get banned for this hehehehehe) Fusaki I have a piece of advice for ya, from a former squid. Don't argue with a Marine, its too hard to get something through thier thick heads sometimes. Stout Hearts Warhawk P.S. It's been a while since I have been able to pick on a Marine WhiteKnight hope you don't get too pieved.
  25. I was playing around with the numbers in the M82barrett.gun file, imagine that, trying to see if I boost it's knockdown power. I know that IRL the slower a round travels, I.E. 900 fps for a .45, the more kenetic energy it delievers on impact. Which in turn relates to a weapons knockdown power. My question is does a person want to lower or raise the velocity numbers in this file to achieve this effect? Am I even in the right area given how Red Storm has set up the game? On another note, I was talking with Stalker_Zero last night giving him some of my other ideas for his community mod.
