I've never heard one single GOOD thing about duty there. Osan AB, OTOH, could be a LOT of fun! ;-)<br /><br />Bec: There's an entire episode about how the guy who made the film got in... the second or third, I think. Semi-funny, too. I like this guy's sense of humor and his sheer balls for doing what he did, the way he did it.<br /><br />Jimmy: Aiiieee, that's a bleak scenario! I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think it's highly improbable. I just don't see the American public sitting still for something like you describe.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-42778225551620535302009-04-25T20:44:00.000-06:002009-04-25T20:44:00.000-06:00Buck, You say we have a long way to go before we g...Buck, You say we have a long way to go before we get to something like that. Well, I don't feel that way. This is how I see it going. <br /><br />With the take over of the Automotive industry almost complete, with Chrysler headed to Government Supervised Bankruptcy (protecting the UAW along the way) and GM not far behind, I see Princess Nancey and Sir Harry sponsoring new environmental legislation that will demand "legacy" power generators to go "Green". All the Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear and wood fired generators go out of business or if they can't afford to make the "Green" conversion The One will take them over like he did GM, fire the operators and move government people to run them all. Shortly, the Space Station Crew will photograph the CSA (that would be Communist States of America) and it will look just like this picture only with bright light emanating from where ever The One happens to be.<br /><br />Its less funny because it is really something that can come to pass.<br /><br />BT: Jimmy T sends.JimmyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595473108896212170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-48492680015307359042009-04-25T17:12:00.000-06:002009-04-25T17:12:00.000-06:00Those videos are so depressing.

Did he get access under the guise of a Lefty useful idiot? I read somewhere that Americans are not allowed in, but most other nations are. Is he Canadian, perhaps? He did an amazing job. <br /><br />When I have the time, I'll listen to he whole series and try to answer my own questions!Becnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-46489500262317652232009-04-25T16:20:00.000-06:002009-04-25T16:20:00.000-06:00I was up on the border there for about ten months....I was up on the border there for about ten months.
