Message Replied To ========== We're about one screw-up short of a shootin' war with Russia  http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/20/politics/syria-convoy-strike-us-conclusion-russia/============================== - nuclear combat toe to toe with the Rooskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do. |

-- Starred by: Jethro JimG8R Rebel1 Hobbes MIAUTIGER WCD Dawgspeare Coupe De VOL NC Enginerd chigatorbri Beachmaster -- "I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and then many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask, "Why we are here?" and what that question might mean. I might think about it a bit and then if I can’t figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer, I don’t have to . . . I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possibly. It doesn’t frighten me." -- Richard Feynman, "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out" (1981) |
