    "It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."

    I will not criticize Kerry's war record, nor his post-Nam stuff. I just don't think he's a good candidate. Listening to him, he comes off as straight up Socialist, and nope, I don't think he'll do a good job with the terrorists- I believe he'll go the appeasement route, the spanish impulse. And it won't work.

    Even the left has its doubts, you know.

    yes, Silver and Bronze stars do mean something. they weren't inquired about

    Yes, I know that Kerry has "combat experience", but to throw your medals, err, ribbons, err medals, whatever away and turn to protest is a major lack of intestinal fortitude.

    Vote for who you want, I'll do the same. I'll vote Republican, because they stand for values that I believe in. You vote Democrat because you feel the way you do. It's the American way.

    Sorry I got caught up in this. NO ONE is going to change their partisan because of a message board. This is ludicrous.

    The little seen Bush-whacking stick.

    Actually, I've been working on rope-dart since November.

    Rope Dart is a cool weapon. Can you twirl it and make it stick yet? Or is that only in the movies?

    It's not really sharp, so it doesn't stick in things too well. I can hit trees with it from a pretty good distance; it's solid, so it makes a pretty deep mark in the bark, but it won't stick.

    Can you get a sharp one? Or are you not ready for one of those yet?

    I don't know if they were meant to be any sharper. It's heavy, and it would definitely crack your skull if it hit you at full speed. I was under the impression it was more of a concussion weapon than a stabbing one, but I don't know for sure.

    I've put enough knots on my head with the this one. No telling what damage I'd cause if it were any sharper. A classmate of mine needed 5 stitches after he busted his head open with one similar to mine. It's a real beyotch to learn.

    "I could tell he was that type of macho guy, from his scowling, beefy face on the CNN pictures
    sounds like him and Xebby are sharing the same IQ as well.
