I use imageshack: http://www.imageshack.us/ when you have uploaded the pic there, scroll down to where it says: + Show Advanced Linking, click on that, you will get this warning: DO NOT Use Link Below when posting. Use FORUM Links above for posts, ignore it. I find this is the only link that works. Copy that link then do this: [ img ] http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3554/armynationalguardey4.gif [ /img ] but without the spaces and you will get something like this: i wish someone was here to help me do this... i tried to do it, but i am not making any progress !!!

Don't Feel Your Touch (4:48) by Mr. Bruce Cockburn a good cover version i found cuz I couldn't find one by Bruce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSojeMTSEk&feature=related -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Feel Your Touch (4:48) In front of a newborn moon pushing up its glistening dome. i kiss these departing companions -- take the next step alone. I just said goodnight to the closest thing i have to home oh -- and the night grows sharp and hollow as a junky's craving vein and i don't feel your touch, again. To be held in the heart of a friend is to be a king but the magic of a lover's touch is what makes my spirit sing when you're caught up in this longing all the beauties of the Earth don't mean a thing. oh -- and the night grows clear and empty as a lake of acid rain and i don't feel your touch, again. The last light of day crept away like a drunkard after gin. A hint of chanted prayer now whispers from the fresh night wind to this shattered heart and soul held together by habit and skin and to this half-gnawed bone of apprehension buried in my brain as i don't feel your touch, again. (Toronto, June 1987) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z02J_kPincA&feature=related "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" BY Bruce Cockburn here comes the helicopter -- second time today everybody scatters and hopes it goes away how many kids they've murdered only god can say if i had a rocket launcher...i'd make somebody pay. i don't believe in guarded borders and i don't believe in hate i don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states and when i talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate if i had a rocket launcher...i would retaliate on the rio lacantun one hundred thousand wait to fall down from starvation -- or some less humane faith. cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate if i had a rocket launcher...i would not hesitate i want to raise every voice -- at least i've got to try. every time i think about it water rises to my eyes. situation desperate echoes of the victims cry if i had a rocket launcher...some son of a ***** would die

http://www.military-quotes.com/vegetius-renatus.htm Vegetius Vegetius Quotes/Quotations Flavius Vegetius Renatus Roman writer and military strategist Author of Epitoma rei militari(s) (a summary of military matters) Lived: around 390 I can't guarantee that these Vegetius quotations are correct or true, but I have tried to verify as many of the quotes from Vegetius as possible. Please contact me if you find any errors in the Vegetius quotes, have some additional information about the quotes or if you know any quotations from Vegetius that's not listed here. Flavius Vegetius Renatus Quotes "Romans not only easily conquered those who fought by cutting, but mocked them too. For the cut, even delivered with force, frequently does not kill, when the vital parts are protected by equipment and bone. On the contrary, a point brought to bear is fatal at two inches; for it is necessary that whatever vital parts it penetrates, it is immersed. Next, when a cut is delivered, the right arm and flank are exposed. However, the point is delivered with the cover of the body and wounds the enemy before he sees it. ... However, they are given that double-weight shield frame and foil, so that when the recruit takes up real, lighter weapons, as if freed from the heavier weight, he will fight in greater safety and faster. But when field training was ended through negligence and laxity, the equipment (which the soldiers seldom put on) began to be seen as heavy." - Flavius Vegetius Renatus (in Epitoma Rei Militari, ca. 390) "Si vis pacem, para bellum" ("If you want peace, prepare for war!") - Flavius Vegetius Renatus "Valor is superior to number" -Flavius Vegetius Renatus "The courage of the soldier is heightened by the knowledge of his profession" -Flavius Vegetius Renatus "Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline" -Flavius Vegetius Renatus Another Version: "Men are seldom born brave but they acquire courage through training and discipline - a handful of men inured to war proceed to certain victory; while on the contrary numerous armies of raw and undisciplined troops are but multitudes of men dragged to the slaughter." -Flavius Vegetius Renatus "To seduce the enemies soldiers from their allegiance and encourage them to surrender is of special service, for an adversary is more hurt by desertion than by slaughter." -Flavius Vegetius Renatus "When men find they must inevitably perish, they willingly resolve to die with their comrades and with their arms in their hands" -Flavius Vegetius Renatus "Opportunity in war is usually of greater value than bravery.... Terrain is often of more value than bravery.... Bravery is of more value than numbers." -Flavius Vegetius Renatus

General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Quotes "I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future armed conflict will not take the form of huge land armies facing each other across extended battle lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for that matter, as they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the field of battle." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf "As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he's a great military man-I want you to know that." -General H. Norman Schwarzkopf 1991 "We need to destroy not attack, not damage, not surround. I want to destroy the Republican Guard" -General H. Norman Schwarzkopf 1991 "I feel that retired generals should never miss an opportunity to remain silent concerning matters for which they are no longer responsible." - General H.

Norman Schwarzkopf "The mothers and fathers of America will give you their sons and daughters... with the confidence in you that you will not needlessly waste their lives. And you dare not. That's the burden the mantle of leadership places upon you. You could be the person who gives the orders that will bring about the deaths of thousands and thousands of young men and women. It is an awesome responsibility. You cannot fail. You dare not fail..." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf From a speech in Eisenhower Hall Theater to the Corps of Cadets on 15 May 1991 by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf "....If you leave here with the word DUTY implanted in your mind; if you leave here with the word HONOR carved in your soul; if you leave here with love of COUNTRY stamped on your heart, then you will be a twenty-first century leader worthy...of the great privilege and honor...of leading...the sons and daughters of America..." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf From a speech in Eisenhower Hall Theater to the Corps of Cadets on 15 May 1991 by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf "Yesterday at the beginning of the ground war Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world. Today they have the second largest army in Iraq" - Attributed to General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Under a news conference during Desert Storm
