speaking of justice,
which side of the jail attrocities are you on these days?


cornfed white as#@&%es started gang in mens central jail in order to make money gambling and selling contraband into lockup

senior jail commanders when confronted with the fact moved to break up these as#@&%es association

but our sherif bent over and took rank and file intimidation up the a*#

then choose to ignore his senior officials soas to coddle the gangbangers in uniform who were intimidating him

intimidation; law enforcements bread and butter

whos back you got here tradie?

wtf?

what do you mean limited range?

rebreathers allow divers greater bottom time
the only way you exceed ones range is to tow a string of air tanks

Not even a special ops type, but how many stateside SAR teams could deal with this by themselves?


A bit of a busy day for one medic!

31 avalanche victims and a chopper crash.

dmons won't even tells us where he's from or who he's ever climbed with from here, alas he goes into the unofficial 'troll-book and as#@&%es' file of mine.

Not many reside there...I still watch 'em, just ignore them mostly.

Folks may not like the headline, but I'm having a hard time finding fault in the content of this piece:

Morgan, I saw that piece too. I commented earlier in this thread that the 'advertisement' of our SEAL operations is unusal and not wanted by the SEALs.

The only recognition they like is from their peers in the military. They take pride in getting the most difficult assaignments. They DO NOT like their exploits going public.

They're supposed to be covert ops, not publicized.

I'm not really that concerned what the SEALs "want" (as if you have any idea). Obama is the commander and chief and he will decide how our military resources are best used. That may well involve highly publicizing (and even exaggerating) our special operations capability to use as a deterrent.
Remember that the actual SEALS are extremely low on the food chain (are they even officers?) and have no real strategic responsibility.

My father was a HAL-3 Seawolf Pilot in the Delta and worked closely with many SEAL teams.

God bless these warriors.

When you publicize their operations and their capabilities, you are undermining them.

Covert operations.

'Nightmare' at home for SEAL who shot Osama bin Laden


(CNN) -- He's the man who rolled into a bedroom in Abbottabad, Pakistan, raised his gun and shot Osama bin Laden three times in the forehead.
Nearly two years later, the SEAL Team Six member is a secret celebrity with nothing to show for the deed; no job, no pension, no recognition outside a small circle of colleagues.

Journalist Phil Bronstein profiled the man in the March issue of Esquire, calling him only the Shooter -- a husband, father and SEAL Team Six member who happened to pull the trigger on the notorious terrorist. It's a detailed account of how the raid unfolded, and what comes after for those involved. The headline splashed across the cover reads, "The man who killed Osama bin Laden ... is screwed."

The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden... Is Screwed

For the first time, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden tells his story — speaking not just about the raid and the three shots that changed history, but about the personal aftermath for himself and his family. And the startling failure of the United States government to help its most experienced and skilled warriors carry on with their lives.

The term that comes to mind "Left out in the cold" know it well.

Definition: unwanted

Synonyms: blackballed, excluded, inadmissible, left out in the cold , not in the picture, not wanted, rejected, shut out, unasked, undesired, unpopular, unsolicited, unwelcome

Also “take a hike”

Hope he sues the government. That will get their attention

'Hope he sues the government'

Good luck with that.

He knows he needed to serve his 20 to get benefits. He could (should) have signed up for the reserves and still received them. Why did he stop at 18?

The Shooter is judicious about the details of his story and hasn't been involved in dramatic books, movies or video games that will make millions for some. It's out of loyalty to his work and concern about his family's safety,

His attorney would have the government hand over documents in his defense, sensitive ones that could compromise security of the US and likely deal out of court.

They would use some of those 2 billion US dollars in currency that went missing in the Iraq war number years back during Bush and President Cheney term of office.

His argument comes from the dysfunctional government apparatus. One for the safety for his family and the other time it takes to get help.

A couple of years ago all those in DOD and currently in DOD have to use the VA system for their health.

Budget problems either more drones or health. Congress chose drones over health. Now everyone is processed through the VA. Overloading: 9 months just to get to see a doctor for a start. “I have problem Doc or my wife, son or myself”. Tests another 3 months, after these tests another month for any action. Medications instead of solving the problem which can take another 6 months.

The only thing we were awarded when we got back was the best [two] filet steaks that cut like butter. Then it was bye, bye: so long, take it easy.

College education paid for, low interest on buying a home which no bank wanted to touch and that was it.

As for us coming back trying to get employment remember when I went in there was another guy who was less qualified, when the question came up about serving in the Army, guy who was doing the hiring turned white and said “don’t think so, bye”.

Trying to get insurance for my car, agent said well you do have a record of not driving for a couple of years, told him I was running around in the mountains hunting. He still said well you still need to have some proof of a driving record. So thinking how stupid this guy is, I said I drove a tank does that count. Got the insurance.

Sad, not only this hero but everyone else coming out same problems. He should be able for Social Security unemployment. Then that will take months.
