I have not been in the air since the Hog Flop....Soon I will return (hopefully) Hey did you do the Superhero quiz yet? Much fun! Thanks for the info Shelly belly. I know they are wicked expensive so I was hoping to find a fellow jumper that had a soft heart and a big litter. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Anyone know a good place to find Bulldog Puppies in the greater Atlanta area that do not cost a friggin Ka-jillion dollars? I mean seriously $1000+ for a dog. That's like an hour in the wind tunnel and 20 jump tickets to altitude! HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Well it turns out that I am actually 75% Catwoman and 70% The Flash. At first I was bummed but then I realized that all a man really ever wants in life is a nice pair of breasts to play with. So in conclusion I am going to enjoy my new found identity and go somewhere and lick myself for hous on end HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Were you aware that 72.876% of statistcs are made up 23.48% of the time? HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

My son is in Iraq... Then your son most likely understands what I am trying to say here. My son was brought up to know that someone else's bad behavior did not justify bad behavior on his part. Apparently you were not brought up that way. Now we are getting somewhere. Again to re-iterate my point is not to justify or condone the actions of the soldier in question but to shed some light on the mentality of people placed in these combat situations. Take it how you want to but no offense intended but no matter how well you raised your son after going through what he is currently seeing his mentality will be changed. It is my sincere hope that he can cope with it and grow from the experience but make no mistake he will be changed. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Ha, nothing changes with you! You will get it figured out.....I hope HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Well I did vote for Bush, primarily because when your sole income and career is Military the Republican party is know for giving you a raise and more funding. Where as the democratic party is more likely to cut military spending and close bases. Both parties are doing what they feel is best for the country but I will vote for the guy who represents my personal situation the best. As for the whole they hate us for being free thing....I think they hate us more for being arrogant and their culture and ours conflict both politically and socially. We are the most wealthy and wastefull country out there. I know it pisses me off when I see Rapper gangsters on TV Bling Blingin' when I have bills going unpaid and all I want to do is jump but can't cause rent is due. Same thing in my opinion. As for taking up arms against fellow Americans...the oath you take upon entrance includes I will defend against all enemies both foriegn and domestic. Hell I fear fellow Americans more so than foriegn terrorists so my answer is given the right situation then Yes I would. Would'nt you if you way of life was threatened? HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

My son is in Iraq... Then your son most likely understands what I am trying to say here. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Wow, that was pretty good I got a bit of a history lesson but I am juiced up on caffeine right now so I am gonna guess that Israel was formed at 5:32 and 18 seconds on that same day you said. Do I win something? HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

It does not justify the wrong actions of any person, nation, or military. I just was trying to point out that things are not as bad as people are led to believe in comparison. But just to stir some things up, why do I keep hearing how inhumane and unjust and all this other whining from people that to me appear never to have been in a combat situation? It's easy to sit back and be righteous and just when you are not faced with the stress of life and death every day. Walk a mile in the boots of combat soldiers who have to deal with mayhem every day and see if your outlook changes just a bit. Oh and just to stir it up a bit more when I say combat soldiers I mean those that are in actual combat situations not just some random enemy contact. Now the rest of the soldiers do their part but let's face it not every one who puts on a unifrom is a combat killer. The only credentials I have are 2 tours in Afghanistan with the US Infantry as a Infantry Fire Team Leader. Now that should stir the pot up a bit.....let's see where this goes kiddies! HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

True statement! By chance did you see how the Afghans would transport their prisoners before they even got to the interogation stage? They would load them into Conex trailers (large steel boxex used for shipping things on ships) with only a few small holes for air. They would then stuff as many bodies as possible into the conex and drive them to the POW collection point. The collection point may have been 100 or more miles away in the Adfghanistan sun with very little or no food and water for the journey. Many people would die enroute. Point being that we do have a problem but I don't think it is as widespread as the media would lead you to believe. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

My point is that you shouldn't be put on trial for murder and face life in prison for following those orders. -- We have to treat the disease, not the symptoms -- The only problem is that when you are issued an unlawful order regarless of who is giving the order you have the right and moral responsibility to refuse that order. Only the people that were there know the situation for sure, but I for one, would have done everything in my power to ensure that the question did not cross the line into torture. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

In response you are correct in this case the victim was tortured. The point I was trying to make is that as a whole US forces are much more gentle in it's interogation techniques than many other countries. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Everyone here has a valid point. My personal take is that the soldier in question took approved orders too far for whatever reason. I think he was rightly convicted and the punishment to light for his crime. What I meant about the civillians and media is that all too often them are able to dictate the policy in an event they may not fully understand. On the converse they may keep actions from going to far but in my opinion they just hinder those warriors doing the best they can to survive and ultimatly win. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

I don't know about you but being the only guy embedded w/in a group of women does not sound all to silly to me. Hey if it works I'll take a skirt and some Pom Poms right now! But what happens if I go to catch one of the girls and she happens to fall on my...... HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

The general laws of Warfare are very clearly defined for the average US military personell. For the Special Forces, interagation, and other operator levels there may or may not be a different set of rules. In the end I do not condone torture personally but I would say in this soldiers defense it may have weighed heavily on his consious the effect of his actions based on the information that may have been gained. When it comes to warfare it is a nasty ugly thing that civillians and media should be kept out of. Unfortunatly brutallity must be met w/ brutality lest we fall victim to our own weakness. As for the comment above about a soldier shooting an enemy in a firefight that is a sanctioned activity but what if he was injured or trying to surrender or some other type of classified Non combatant. In that case you have overstepped the law as set forth to you and you are wrong. But if you think what Americans do to POW's is torture than I think you need a strong cup of coffee to open your eyes.

You have been issues a Cease and Desist order on this subject effective immeadiatley HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

uhh oh I thought all activities from that weekend were classified Super Duper Secret Squirrel!? HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

I have never done it but I have a few relatives that have done it. My aunt went once and all 23 guys circled yes. She just laughed and sd she got 15 free dinners out of it. but it must work out cause she still see's one of the guys off and on after 2 years. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Out of 9 I still have 9 left.....Man what a waste all these chances and I keep playing it safe! HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

It's a little off topic but after being born in Nebraksa and moving down here to Georgia I want to get a Bulldog and name him Herbie. College football fans will understand this one and hopefully find the same humor in as I do. HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Not sure where the name actually came from but I do know my Mom won the arguement so I am called Ben. If my dad would have been more assertive I would have ened up a Thomas HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

Not knowing ol' Jack's credentials I am going to place my bet w/ him cause 24 is a better show than Walker Texas Ranger in my opinion HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"

I just saw it on the Web site. Congratulations and it's about time............ HackB A.K.A. "Puppy"
