Hope this isn't a repeat,but it's true,as per Snopes. Once again Charlie Daniels speaks his feelings and once again he is right on the money. Charlie needs to be writing for a major news magazine. The Straight Scoop from Charlie Daniels I've just returned from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Naval Air Station base where we did three shows for the troops and toured several locations around the post visiting with some of the finest military personnel on planet earth. The kids seemed to really enjoy the shows and especially liked "This Ain't No Rag, It's A Flag" and "In America". We had a great time with them. We saw Camp X-Ray, where the Taliban detainees are being held only from a distance, but I picked up a lot of what's going on there from talking with a lot of different people. The truth of the matter is that this operation is under a microscope. The Red Cross has an on site presence there and watches everything that goes on very closely. The media is not telling you the whole truth about what's going on over there. The truth is that these scum bags are not only being treated humanely, but they are probably better off health wise and medically than they've ever been in their lives. They are fed well, able to take showers and receive state of the art medical care. And have their own Moslem chaplain. I saw several of them in a field hospital ward where they were being treated in a state of the art medical facility. Now let's talk about the way they treat our people. First of all, they have to be watched constantly. These people are committed and wanton murderers who are willing to die just to kill someone else. One of the doctors told me that when they had Taliban in the hospital the staff had to really be careful with needles, pens and anything else which could possibly be used as a weapon. They also throw their excrement and urine on the troops who are guarding them. And our guys and gals have shown great restraint in not retaliating. We are spending over a million dollars a day maintaining and guarding these nasty killers and anyone who wants to see them brought to the U.S.A. for trial is either out of their heads or a lawyer looking for money and notoriety. Or both. I wish that the media and the Red Cross and all the rest of the people who are so worried about these criminals would realize that this is not a troop of errant Boy Scouts. These are killers of the worst kind. They don't need protection from us, we need protection from them. If you don't get anything else out of this soapbox, please try to realize that when you see news coverage much of the time you're not getting the whole story, but an account filtered through a liberal mindset with an agenda. We have two fights on our hands, the war against terror and the one against the loudmouthed lawyers and left wing media who would sap the strength from the American public by making us believe that we're losing the war or doing something wrong in fighting it. Remember these are the same people who told us that Saddam Hussein's Republican guard was going to be an all but invincible enemy and that our smart bombs and other weapons were not really as good as the military said that they were. Here I must commend Fox News for presenting both sides much better than the other networks. They are leaving the other cable networks in the dust. People like being told the truth. Our military not only needs but deserves our support. Let's give it to them. The next time you read a media account about the bad treatment of the Taliban in Cuba, remember what I told you. Been there, done that. Footnote: I got an e-mail from a rather irate first cousin of mine the other day who has a daughter who's a lawyer and she seemed to think that I was painting all lawyers with the same brush. Please understand that I'm not doing that at all. That would be like saying that all musicians were drug addicts. There are a lot of good and honest attorneys out there. I happen to have one of them. But it seems that they never get any airtime. It's always the radicals who get their opinions heard, who fight the idea of the military tribunals and cite The Constitution and the integrity of America as their source of justifying their opinions. Well, first of all The Constitution says "We the people of the United States", it doesn't mention any other country. And secondly as far as integrity is concerned, I don't think some of these folks would know integrity if it bit them in the posterior. What do you think? God Bless America. Charlie Daniels P.S. Please consider sending this to everyone you can...the truth needs to be told.

Sorry,that was Rommel,I mean. Hell, they look so alike from here!

OK,Doug,all seems well again. I go with Schatten,if it ain't broke,don't fix it. Loading is back to normal for me,anyway. Maybe a small gremlin was playing around,but has now gone back home!

Donnie's story-- Sheps eye-opener------WOW! Would we have the guts to do as they did? Hmmm.

Donnie,my friend. We may never meet,face to face, but through this Forum I feel that I share your laughter and sadness. My heart goes out to you,bro,and all I can offer are my prayers,because our God is all-knowing and a loving God,and He will hear my prayer for you,as I'm sure you know. This is a time for faith,Donnie,and I'm on my knees.

I don't want to drag this thread out,but I just found the following web site that may appeal to both newbies and veterans alike. It has more useful info. than any FB/AEP/PF site I've found yet. See what you think. http://www.airwarfare.com/Sims/FB/fb_essential_files.htm

I bet Paddles fed the squirrel again! Cheap bugger waits until it keels over then breaks out the cat food! Sheesh!

Yup,I guess when you construct a plane out of rice paper and bamboo it doesn't have much problem with torque! It just twists!

Yessir,it's been very slow for about two days for me. I thought it was my server but all other sites load as usual.

Marvellous,innit? I start a thread about IL 2 and AEP,all serious like,and what do we finish up talking about? Yep,you guessed it,BOOBs! Sigh,nice to know there are still some real men around!

And this one........................That's it! http://www.airwarfare.com/sturmovik_101/faq_index.htm#1001

Just found this. Thought y'all might like it. http://www.jumpintojapan.com/custom-icon-settings.html

Thanks,guys. While I have your attention,what recommendations do you have for add-on sites and "must-have" add-ons,bearing in mind my interest in ETO and BoB scenarios?

Sounds like one that Itchie Crotchie would like!

But wouldn't you use the trim to cancel the torque?

Thanks,Baltar,I knew my buds from CSim would rise to the occasion! I've patched up to 2.04 so now have to start the add-ons. See you next year!

I'm sitting here wondering whether to re-install the above games,as I've been playing CFS3 for quite a while and it looks a little dated. If I do put them back in,what add-ons should I use and any other advice would be welcome. I don't have the Pacific add-on as I prefer the ETO,so maybe BoB would be good. Whaddya think?

Great,Stans! E-mailed it to all my buddies!

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

The police officer had just pulled over a yuppie on a new Harley for running a stop sign. "May I see your driver's license and registration please..." the officer asked. "What's the problem, officer?" the yuppie replied. "You just ran a stop sign." the officer said. "Oh come on, pal, there wasn't a single car anywhere in sight." "Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete stop, look both ways, and only then proceed with caution." "You've got to be kidding me!" the yuppie said. "It's no joke sir." the officer said flatly, pulling out his citation book and preparing to write a ticket. "Look I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no one, and proceeded with caution." The officer sighed and slowly shook his head. "That's beside the point sir, you are supposed to come to a complete stop and you didn't. Now if I may see your license and..." the officer began. "You sure do have a lot of time on your hands pal. What's the matter, all the doughnut shops closed this early?" the yuppie asked sneering. "SIR!" The officer sighed. "I'll over look that last comment now let me see your license and registration immediately!" "I will, if you can tell me the difference between slowing down, and coming to a complete stop." the yuppie said, folding his arms across his chest. A smile appeared on the officer's face. "Sir, I can do better than that." The police officer quickly jerked the rude yuppie off his Harley, and proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his nightstick. "Now sir, would you like for me to slow down or come to a complete stop?"

Just when I think it's safe to leave my bedroom...................................!

No contest! DH,of course.
