that someone can sneak into another country take out a major figure head and get out of that country alive but yet can't figure out a way to get a job or health care in their own country presents a wealth of information to the enemy on how to devise counter measures on how to deal with seal tactics on a pyschological level and even find them

perhaps what some of the seals are doing by going to the media and writing books is actually seals tactics to confuse the enemy ...er...perhaps

Please tell me you people really believe that they will freely give away anything more than some basic tactical maneuvers or formations they no longer use. If someone believes that, then they don't know much about about the military. You know what they want you to know. This doesn't just go for the SEALS.

Never a good idea. "Here let's give the enemy our training manual, and while we're at it, maps of our positions with details of our strategy and tactics."

i don't think he was treated bad, he didn't follow the rules/regulations to get what he wanted. he was in long enough to know how to get what he wants..

i almost agree with you, but i think the interviewer may have scewed what the seal was really saying. he can't be that dumb

That's one letter from one man. The Civil War was about slavery....period!

Not really. The slavery problem was nationwide. For all its problems, the members of the CSA were correct to assert their right to secede. (for those who don't know, the civil war was not over slavery. It was about several things, including conflicts over nullification and secession.) Lincoln himself said in a letter to Horace Greely "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views."

I'd like to think that you're kidding!

At first I was all like WOOHOO, then was like...bummer!



JACKSON, Miss. – Officials say a mistake is to blame for the Confederate flag being raised over the Mississippi Supreme Court building on Friday.

Kym Wiggins, public information officer for the state Department of Finance and Administration, tells The Clarion-Ledger that the flag was put up accidentally when workers were replacing a worn Mississippi state flag.

Wiggins says workers had gone to a local vendor to get state flags and were given two boxes labeled "Mississippi State Flag."

She says that unknown to the workers the boxes actually contained Confederate flags. The flag was up for about two hours.

Wiggins says the vendor has been notified to make sure no future problems take place.
