Soldiers Call for Engineering Tech Support

chuckfucter writes "Wired news writes that soldiers in the battlefield now have their own army of geek advisers whom they can contact whenever they need technical support. The stakes are much higher here, with troops asking about the structural integrity of bridges, roads, dams and airfields: Can this structure be safely used after sustaining damage from bombings?"

    This could be dangerous, having to rely on foreign nations for essential military services.

    Could be better than relying on the hillbillies back home that voted for Bush

    I can't belive you dumbasses voted Bush back into office. I hope you all get nuked.

    Hee hee! One of the most entertaining byproducts of Bush's smashing victory has been watching the worldwide Left come unhinged. Anyone remember the exploding heads from Scanners? That is where the fruit cakes are heading.

    Sad news, Britney Spears dead at 22

    I just heard some really sad news on Fox - Singer and Popstar Britney Jean Spears was found dead in her Louisana home this morning.

    Apparently, the cause of death was excessive bleeding after a sizzling night of hot anal sex with her ex. boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.

    "We were just having good sushi, and she asked me if I would please her", said Justin. Although he has since turned gay after his breakup with her, Justin was willing to please Britney as long as she would take it up her ass.

    Following a night of sex for 10 hours, Britney sustained an injury in her lower vaginal area and subsequently bled to death. Her husband Kevin Federline, who is at the moment spending time at a federal prison for sexual advances towards Natalie "hot grits" Portman was not available for comment.

    However, President George W Bush offered his comments on the incident. "Here is the reason why anal sex is bad and why gays are unAmerican, they kill Americans and American icons", he was quoted as saying.

    There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will surely miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her work, there's no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    *sob*

    Hit me baby, one more time. I'll miss you, oh baby baby.

    Indeed, Britney. Indeed. Rest in peace, child.

    DA TROLL-A-HOLIC IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    And oh, btw. MICHAEL IS A DICKHEAD. Yeah!!!

    "The end goal is still to slaughter the lower races into obeying the American Empire and its unsatiable appetite for other people's resources."

    If nobody is going to stand up to oppose this, then so be it. Does any nation have the courage to actually stand up to US agression? To formally declare that it has a serious, life-or-death, objection to it?

    So far, seeing none, despite repeated claims that "everybody hates" the US. Last time I checked, NATO hadn't regrouped into an anti-american coalition. The UN is still happy to remain in NYC. No country has applied any military power to defend the people of Iraq from the US and UK. Americans are still permitted to travel, e.g., in Europe and Asia.

    If nobody has a real problem with US imperialism, and if all the nations on Earth are satisfied to permit this, then so be it.
