    actually steelhead don't necessarily swim to the ocean they also swim to large lakes like they do here in western new york they are called onodroumous they are only steelheads because they lack the rainbow pigments of river run rainbows they are fun to catch. they are also in the same family as the pikes (muskies, northerns, pickerels) soft finned fish, with big teeth. sorry that was borderline off topic

    finaly someone who has a clue. The U.S. was a industrial powerhouse, Russia was as well but they were quickly running out of key resources like aluminum. plus without our distraction of german forces Russia would definitly have fallen as you said. A wise man once said, if we fail to learn the lessons from history we are doomed to repeat them. I certainly did not take all my history in public educ. since it has a definate bias same as in all countries

    whats the deal so they put panties on their heads and deprived them of sleep they did not cut their heads off. and yes our troops die for people all the timelook at bosnia, look at the humanitarian missions we run and get killed on in africa. the worlds a bunch of damn ingrates and the US gets blamed for everything when you people in other countries are more than likely just jeolous. I aint saying that a good portion of the politicians don't have their own agendas (same as in ever country out there)and that america is not hippocritical at times. at least we don't cower when we get pissed on like some European countries do, and we have enough restraint to not purposely attack civilian populations like some asian countries, it happens I know, but it gets blown out of proportion in foreign media, here it gets brushed under the rug, I gaurantee that if some of your nations troops did this the same would happen in the media.

    thats what those arabs think also and look what we did to them. and look at the japanese before wwII thought of us and we smoked their asses also. if you are from america get the hell out you unpatriotic pig. and if you are from some other country. then the only thing between you and total anarchy, is more than likely the american soldier; after all who is asked to step in more than not as "police force", american soldiers. half the world would be a nazi state if it was not for this nation of "obese cunts" during wwII. US soldiers (god bless everyone of them) dye all the time for people they don't even know and who more than likely hate americans. so soon the world forgets. I know that America has not made too many friends but we don't need them they only get our troops killed

    well its doubtfull the military would use anything that is not homegrown in the calibration of hightech weoponry they might use it in the system that tracks spent shells or as a base to build their command center on in which they most definitly would go over it with a fine toothed comb

    try what they had to eat during the spanish american war you want to talk about nasty; months even years old "corned beef" with rat crap, rat poison, rusty metal, sawdust, borax. lucky america made it this far, or better yet try wormy civil war era hardtack, at least the mule was fresh though. can't say the same about the salt pork though

    amen brother! my friends call me conservative but as far as I am concerned I am neither Democrat nor Republican, I am a U.S. Citizen, an AMERICAN if you will. I make my own decisions and sling no mud. If more people In the U.S. would feels this way then we would not have childish politicians bitching at each other. and could get something real done. Maybe make this country what it promises to be;"The land of the free, and the home of the brave".
