I'm aware they've moved several PALADIN units into the region but that's not going to help until the artillery actually starts firing.
Only what I saw when I was stationed there. I was in the U.S. field artillery as a 82C10. Yeah, I know it was almost 40 years ago. We knew where every piece was then. I saw the maps as I was a computer/recorder for my survey team in the HQ battery and worked closely with the fire control officer. We knew where 90% of it was at any given time without any satellites or GPS. The younger guys I speak to at the VA tell me even the job I had is now done via sattelite/GPS/computer shit. In 1968 during a battle between Arab and Israeli forces a US recon sattelite captured a photograph from 120 miles above the earth of an engagement between armored forces. In that photograph you can read the time on the watch on an Israeli tank commanders wrist. If we could do that in 68 and know where 90% of the DPRK's atry trained on Seoul and other key targets across the DMZ were in the early '80s, imagine what we now know. And they are still using pretty much the same technology that was outdated when I was stationed there.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by -SpectraL The so-called "experts" insisted up and down in the '50s and '60s that Thalidomide was perfectly safe, calling everyone who disagreed with them uneducated fools, and they fought for years in the courts, while they created a worldwide catastrophe, with the result of over 20,000 deformed babies. Then, when they were exposed for the frauds and buffoons they really were, they just said, "whoops… our bad", and continued to demand respect, credibility and obedience. Lots more of those very same clowns around today, and in much larger numbers, and they are exponentially more dangerous to society than they were back then.

Still I can see his reasoning, his family only invite him around when something needs fixing…he's a lonely old man so I get it…ahh bless the old fella, he just wants to be loved (even if it is for his inept home maintenance skills).
Honey do you want me to stop at the hardware store and pick up the new valve for the toilet on my way home?
No dear let Dad fix it.
But it will take him days.
I know but it fools him onto thinking he is still useful.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Noob error thinking it was the gasket, 9/10 it's the valve…and changing the value is a 15 min job that doesn't require "pulling the tank"…lollingtons.
I'm going to have to pull the damn tank.
See you tomorrow!
If it takes him an entire day to take remove and replace a toilet tank it is no wonder his offspring can't do simple things for themselves.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by stl1 I'm getting ready to go buy a dual-flush toilet valve for my grandson's bathroom. It keeps refilling every five minutes or so. I attempted replacing only the gasket a while back but that obviously didn't work. I'm going to have to pull the damn tank.
See you tomorrow!
