  1. Re:i also ran an ISP in the sunni triangle on Running an ISP in a Warzone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes I have nothing better to do with my life than take a year long time out to violate the people of Iraq... If you want to talk about violation, let's be honest and talk about what Saddam's troops were doing to the Iraqi people before we got here. I am unsure how you perform the mental gymnastics it will take to equate the two, but I am sure you will find a way.

    Yes you could say that you have built a nationwide microwave backbone, and you did. Congratulations. Also there is a world of difference between Baghdad and Habbaniyah. Take a convoy between here and there sometime. And no, none of the work I do on SIPR or NIPR will ever get talked about. That is what I am paid to do. This is a side project so we can all check our email. All of us. Not just the people lucky enough to have an office, or the time to hang out at BIAP all day cracking WEP keys. Good job flexing your l33t haxor skills on a few poorly defended APs, and invading other people's privacy.

    Wouldn't that be a huge waste of time. Everyone over here signed up for it and went willingly. Despite Kerry's fear mongering statements, there is no draft. If a soldier is politically minded, 9 times out of 10 you can guess which side they are on. More importantly, its not the role of a soldier to agree or disagree. That choice is made when you decide to enlist. Under Clinton, I did my job. Under Bush, I am still doing my job. Also it is incredibly insulting to have you imply that I am depriving other soldiers of access to a free press, when you have absolutely nothing to back that statement up with. On NIPR and MWR networks, the DoD blocks the same things that most companies and schools do for the same reasons. Please, remove your tin foil hat. There are enough issues that a real to worry about.

    Ouch, I wish it were true. Contractors make a good deal of change, but as for soldiers we're definitely not doing it for the money. I've been in for 8 years, work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and clear about $4,000 a month. Not bad, works out to roughly $12 an hour.

    Well as soon as we get the last few scripts ready for time travel I'll go back to the first Gulf War and set one up. Then will you be happy?
