  1. I spent full body armor, long sleeves , 8+ hours , pull guard duty in Jacobabad Pakistan, 120+ in the summer,record there is 127. Even hotter when you were right next to tarmac. Heat was least of our concern, a Cobra crawling in your fox hole and biting you was far more of a worrier, which happened to one of us.Good thing we had Atropine auto-injectors on us,it saved his life. No one forgot to have auto-injector on them after that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. Human body can endure more than you think. Considering I was in full body armor, long sleeves in pulling guard duty for up to 8 hours with nothing but water in Jacobadad,Pakistan (dailies summers >120, record 127, easily 130+ on tarmac, 150+ behind a c-130). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Sure, because the US Government never does any illegal spying or anything illegal or try to put back doors in software or encryption algorithms. You live in a fantasy world if you think the US Gov has some moral superiority.

  6. Notice idiot, just because it is "Russian" owned , doesn't mean that the software actually comes from Russia.

  7. Too bad Lenin's communism is pretty much dead, except for all but North Korea.

    The Democrats are good at losing, and being sore losers at the same time. Note I have no issues with Pairs accord, just that Obama, the "constitutional scholar" threw out the constitution. Obama was arrogant ever since he began his presidency, starting in 2009 with "elections have consequences", he even admits it as his biggest mistake. Even though he admitted to his arrogance 2015, for good measure he said FU to Republicans in April 2016 with Paris and said he didn't need the Senates approval. The genius couldn't figure out for the life of him, after 8 years why Republicans didn't want to work with him. https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    Can you give ONE example were Communists or Socialists coming to power didn't exterminant their political competition?
    The pledge of allegiance was around since 1892 and pledges to one's country/king have been around for centuries. For some reason very very few patriotic groups turned into something like the Nazis,so you need new argument idiot, it doesn't make any sense at all.

    The entire notion that Nazi's are right wing is socialist propaganda by socialists historians that lie to themselves to try to rationalize that socialism is a good thing still. No one consider in 1940-1960s that the Nazis were right wing, but suddenly in the late 60s some leftist historians re-defined that the Nazi's are right wing.
