I don't see/. as a news source. I see it as a message board primarily, and message boards are a fun type of hell. The uncanny thing about/. is the themes for the boards are started by admins and/or the pandering "news blurbs." It's fun, and I spend lots of time here and learn lots of stuff, but if anyone thinks this place is a good source for unbiased news, then please think again....

The first rule of fight club is you do NOT talk about fight club.
The second rule of fight club is you do NOT talk about fight club.
The third rule of fight club is you can NEVER reverse engineer meatloafs fake boobs....
I do want to commend you on a very mature, and thoughtful, post. I hope I did not offend in my original response. I could be wrong on all counts. I also understand that most things such as this are responses to something. I am sure something happened that created this new policy.
Your point on enforcement being an issue is well taken as well.
In any event, welcome to/. I do take it you are new since you just started posting....
I question this poster. This is the first ever post from this user (Jere_Jones). Nothing wrong with that, but couple that with what he says and I question whether this person is who he says he is. The basic premise of military security is confidentiality. It is over-arching and overriding, especially during a conflict. No one has to even think about this fact, nor does it surprise just about all of the rest of the posters in this thread. It seems only to have surprised the news blurb author,/. admin and then this guy.
The RIAA is still working on that. Pretty much, it appears John Foggerty will have to go back to court to try and prove, yet again, that he doesn't sound like himself....
The Belgians also, keenly, drug out talks with the germans for 24 hours, buying precious time for the near 400,000 allied troops to be transferred via the channel during operations dynamo. Regardless of the shame that was the battle of france in 1940, dunkirk was a spectacular event ensuring britian could continue to harrass, and keep germany busy.
The history of france, as a whole, is very admirable, but do not begin defending their actions during the early stages of ww2 by blaming their allies. The french did an exceptional job of doing a bad job of dealing with the battle of france. Their army was apathetic and lazy. The command structure under ganivil (?) was severly flawed. The commander of the BEF was appalled at it. Politics had infiltrated the entire structure of the army at the top, and its leaders were out of touch with both their men and the front -- keeping headquarters closer to paris than where the men were stationed.
Key orders took hours if not days to arrive during the battle. The french were often hours late to alloted offenses leaving the BEF to go alone. When one french general died in a car crash, his replacement didn't get order for an entire day and when he arrived at headquarters he was greeted by the germans.
Combine this with the out-dated tactics vs panzer groups, where french commenders kept trying to check german tank advances with infantry movements and the battle was a fore-gone conclusion. The thing is, the french actually had better tanks, just didn't know how to use them.
Also, the french had invested massive amounts of money for their war-preparedness effort into the magino line, which proved uesless. This money could have been spent far better in other areas -- such as raising morale for troops by increasing pay.
Still, the failure was more to blame on french leadership than anything. There were many instances where the french fought bravely, and later in the war -- when all the poor leadership was gone -- the free-french armies did an excellent job putting much hurt on the germans.
But the loss and failure and defeat of the allies in france in 1940 was indeed on the hands of the french. The BEF did all it could....
I am with you. I thought it was a phrase that only applied to tv series. I think it has to do with the happy days episode where Fanzi tries to "jump the shark" -- an episode which marked the decline, for fans, in the show's writing and staying power....
Using it outside a broadcast tv show is new to me....
My point was to illustrate the effectiveness of repeating a lie. The event (not going to state the event due to volatility) did indeed happen. This I believe. But, there is a huge movement and influence in the world which says otherwise. This is due to the repeating of lies. You see, it was sarcasm I was using in order to prove my point, but using an inappropriate, and highly sensitive, example.

Yes, it did happen.
