That wasn't a very nice thing to say. How can you say something like about someone you do not know? There was no need for that at all.

Hi all,

Don't want to get involved in the ethics stuff here, but I'm interested in military vehicles etc. I am getting confusing reports from the TV over as as to what type the spy plane was. It keeps being quoted as a P3, but I know thats wrong as the Orion is a sub-hunter. I'm guessing the designation should be something like EP3, can anyone confirm this? Also what is this crafts primary functon is it an ELINT bird or photographic?

Just as an ironic twist:

Draconia please tell your hubby that if it wasn't for the Chinese we wouldn't have gunpowder http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Just thought it ironic that it should be the Chinese that were the ultimate facilitators of modern warfare, I wasn't trying to be unkind or anything.

well, then i suppose he should know better than to believe "most people owe everything to US" because "US owe most people everything" as well. and this is not an empty claim because, there are suffers (and i dare say, a lot of them) out there indirectly/directly caused by US foreign policies

I understand Sir Tainly. I am sorry. I guess I was on the defense because of what was said. My husband is not ignorant, stupid nor an idiot. I do not want him portrayed as such.

Look 250, YOU know nothing about my husband. Just because he said that does not mean that he doesn't know about everything else. He is aware of it all. Please leave my husband out of this. You do not know him and you have no right to assume you know what he thinks or knows. He just wanted me to write that in. He also has an opinion and he has not said anything negative towards you.

I understand, I guessed you reacted as you did, for this reason. Perhaps it would be better if your husband came on the forum himself, then he could more easily state his views, rather than by posting by proxy. It is too easy for his statements to be taken out of context this way, and without him able to justify and counter argue. Anyway I hope you are feeling better today, maybe you'll be able to laugh soon without it hurting, hope so http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

"In regard to negative comments about the U.S.A., alot of people all over the world owe everything they have to us."

Name one group of people that owe everything they have to us!

I am not bashing your husband so please don't read this that way. I am just asking the question.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear ignorant,
than open it and remove all doubt!
