NBC Sportswriter Condemns American Flag, Military Flyovers as Symbols of OppressionIn summation: according to Calcaterra, honoring a country built on the very idea of allowing him to question his leaders, and honoring the men and women in the military who fight and die so he can enjoy that freedom, somehow invades his precious safe space and makes him feel all oppressed n' stuff.

Dude. You're the one who politicized it. Also the notion that the flag is per se political is NOT NEW.
Why must people be the dumb? Why?

Thank you for your comments on the display of the American flag at our Opening Day ceremonies. We feel, however, that doing so is consistent with the values of our fans and that catering to the views of pencil-necked, needle-dick bug-fuckers like you and your fellow SJW trash can only alienate our loyal customers.

They've been displaying the flag and singing "God Bless America" (on Sundays) and the National Anthem (before every game) at baseball games forever. Suddenly snowflake is offended?
Gee, the beginning of lefty Ken Burns' documentary on baseball starts with the National Anthem. Presumably if he made it now, he'd omit that to avoid triggering his fellow Commies.
Yeah, Koreans and Hispanics and Japanese play the game now. It was still born and developed in this country (took an old English game and made it better) and is as American as apple pie, mom and Babe Ruth. So suck it, lefties.

Did I ever tell the story about the year my mom stocked up on Cadbury's Eggs? My brother and I couldn't eat them for at least a few years after.
Because A) yeah, we overindulged and got tired of them, a little, and 2) they don't last forever, and the cream gets less creamy and not as good.
The mini Reese's cups are the devil.
They're good and all, but they were never a craving/gorge-myself type of candy for me.
Anyway, I guess tastes change, and stuff you found merely "tasty" later become "super-serious addictions requiring medical intervention."

I would bet you 20 to 1 that he "thinks" (and I use the word loosely) that singing the National Anthem and displaying the flag means that you support the man currently in the White House.
Since he's got TDS, then, to his diseased mind, any display of the flag is a de facto expression of Trump support, just as it was expression of Obama support back in the halcyon days.

Yeah, Koreans and Hispanics and Japanese play the game now. It was still born and developed in this country (took an old English game and made it better) and is as American as apple pie, mom and Babe Ruth. So suck it, lefties.

The Poles love baseball as well. There is a small town outside of Warsaw that has a huge baseball museum, and they invite the American Embassy and the Japanese Embassy for a game day. My husband and daughter played on the American team two years. Every year, the Japanese Embassy kicked our asses graciously, and the Poles came in dead last, but it was a great event.

I think it's the size of the egg. My son swears that the Reese's eggs have slightly more peanut butter than the regular cup, thus improving the chocolate/peanut butter ratio. The white chocolate eggs, however, are of the devil. And the dark chocolate isn't so hot.
My new thing this year was Milka Easter bunnies. German deli carries Milka chocolate, which is rich and creamy without being too sweet. I will be heading over to their website to look for sale chocolate.

Then presumably the draftees were of a different caliber than what you'd get today. Maybe you had to deal with hippies and such, I don't know, I wasn't there. An E6/7's job is:
1. paperwork
2. make sure maintenance is done
3. conduct training
4. catch hell when SN Timmy gets drunk and drives the duty van off the pier
...
x. hurt bad people and break their toys
It's hard enough with some of the people who actually volunteered. Like NGU said, go ahead and draft them into some civil service; if they choose to go military, let them transfer.

Absolutely. I term the effect an 'ascetic diet'. You deprive yourself of sweet and sour, salty and rich, etc.
Do it for a couple of weeks and taste something you were used to enjoying -- it will taste horrid. The horrid taste is because it is horrible food.

I haven't been low carb for that long - only a little over a month, but I felt sick yesterday after eating a slice of cheesecake.
I've made an effort to stop with sweeteners. I used to put 2 packs of Splenda in my coffee but I realized that was probably doing nothing to curb my sweet tooth and neither was eating Weight Watchers desserts anything else sweet. So when I had something sweet after a month - it made me feel nauseous.

I will agree under those circumstances. Perhaps there should be a push to change that because its going to have to change some time or the other. Probably sooner rather than later.

I do have a problem with it. I think it cheapens the anthem. I appreciate that there are times it's performed with love and respect, but it's also seen as a time for vocal and personal showboating.
I'd prefer God Bless America for games and the Anthem for more serious venues.
YMMV.

I think I read that just one of our carriers has the equivalent of the entire British Royal Air Force on-board. Not to mention the nuclear weaponry to make NorkLand glow at night for the next hundred years.

From what I have read, Clayton Kershaw seems like a really decent guy - Christian, does a lot of charity stuff in the off season....Former Brewers catcher (now with Texas) Jonathan Lucroy takes veterans on Honor Flights to DC and was very active with charities to help vets when he was here. I'm sure he has no objection to flag displays at games.
I'm sure other guys do other things but they're "ordinary" players, not stars like Musial.

I know. If it was up to me the Cobalt-60 would be re-introduced on the nuke tips. Keep 'em underground for a hundred years.
The interesting thing about 'half-life'? Yeah, it's no less deadly when it's expended one half-life. It has a lot of half-lives.

I'm still holding out hope for that myself. They can't be liking all the attention--and carriers--in their front yard. At what point does China finally decide Kim is more trouble than he's worth?
I think China is delaying the inevitable in an attempt to extract some promise from Trump. They want something.

Serious question to the currently serving: what is the drone complement of a carrier/warship?
Is that included as part of the aviation wing?
If it's classified and you have to kill me if you tell me that's fine. I need the rest.

Until PDT announces that a nuclear attack of any sort from NorkLand is to be considered the same as an attack from China, the ChiComs are going to shrug their shoulders at NorkLand.

The deadliest radionuclides are those with relatively short half-lives, because they radiate furiously in order to consume themselves so quickly.

There are fixed and rotary-wing drones under development/in trials, but AFAIK they aren't deployed at this time. I got out in 2006 and was never surface/aviation, so take that for what it's worth...

Really? I was looking into the longest lasting radioactive substances recently with downright scary half-lives that go half a century before they're *possibly* half done.
Above ground rad counts inconsistent with anything possibly resembling *normal* life for a hundred plus years. Gamma level stuff.
Perhaps we're talking about two different things.

Ok. I see. There are fast emitters. Also, slow emitters with half-lives longer that the universe has been around. Pretty benign they are.
Then there are the the ones with a 'sweet spot' that would be exceptionally good at ruining someones day, week, year, decade, and half century.
