Participant“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
— Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
ParticipantSmart weapons don’t last forever. The batteries, hydraulics, etc… all have a shelf life. If you don’t kill somebody with them, you gotta pull ’em out of service, fix ’em up, and put ’em back in stock. That costs money. It’s a lot more fun just to drop them on people.
We can’t go 10 years without shooting off a whole bunch of tomahawks at somebody. I’m guessing that’s getting near the “service time” shelf life. Once they knock out the air defenses (again, using smart weapons) they will need to go drop a bunch of smart bombs.
Afterward they award the replenishment contracts which of course are worth a lot more than if they had just rotated and serviced them.
War is good business.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Exactly and that cost can be very high. I just remebered that I actually did a short sale for a doctor. He was a Navy flight surgeon with no school debt working at Balboa. He bought a house with an incredible view in South Park. He put 10% down, spent about $50K of his own money fixing it up the and then got sent over seas for the next 3 to 5 years where his kids will grow up away from their cousins and grandparents. He couldnt stay even though he loved the house because the military sent him overseas. He didnt qualify for HAP program and had to do a short sale. Had he paid for his own schooling his income would be a couple hundred K higher than it is, he could have stayed in a house he loved, his kids would be growing up around family instead of strangers in a foreign country and his wife cant work there either (she is a highly skilled medical progfessional but not in the military) so they will struggle to pay her school debt also. Just another case where your join the military, see the world, get a free education put someone in a much worse way than if they had just aken out some loans and done it the other way.
FYI my friend was on the cover of Newsweek not Time magazine and here is a link to a picture of him. His face is probably burned in the minds of many of you.

Wow, that’s pretty cool that he became an MD. I’m guessing he wasn’t one during the first gulf war. He was certainly lucky to get out of that scrape in one piece. Relocation is definitely something that goes with his job though, for better or worse. Hopefully they will enjoy their experience overseas.

ParticipantHahaha I love Americans. A blog thread about inflation quickly reverts to a spirited debate on the eating habits and morality of the poor. Clearly they are stupid and immoral or they wouldn’t be poor and obese. Look at how they eat — DISGUSTING! If they would just shop at Whole Foods like I do, they could cook nice, fresh prepared foods. BTW I just picked a great new pan from Sur La Table, everyone should get one. It normally sells for $199 but I got it on sale for $129 because I’M A FREAKING GENIUS.
Back to sleep everyone.
Returning to the inflation topic, I’ve noticed that the Whole Foods in hillcrest now has armed security officers. They’ve always had security but never with guns before.
