#14 Planes loaded with military equipment loaded on aircraft and sent over the weekend. I was told Monday but happened Saturday and Sunday at Dulles. One vet said old equipment but I don't believe that. So oil from National reserves to three countries and all this equipment most likely given away leads me to believe no restocking of National reserve or military hardware. |

#11 The modern context is drawn from the shifting support of the English for the French Revolution, which seemed to change with the emergency of that pesky affinity the French had for industrial-style decapitation of the nobility by the dozens daily. "Perfidious signifies one who does not keep his faith or word (from the Latin word perfidia), while Albion is an ancient and now poetic name for Great Britain." |

#8 My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar. When will you be back? Can't tell you that; its classified. |

#6 Would not surprise me if people in government see it as a win-win if we send weapons, then tip off the Russians. |

#4 Maybe someone at the pentagon or whitehouse should gloat over how many weapons they sent again. Then, tell once again how much more you are sending. Idiots, every GD 1 of them. |
