    sad all these young brits are dying for something that is none of their concern.


    The soldiers were killed on Tuesday night during a routine patrol on the borders of Helmand and Kandahar provinces. The victims have been named today as, from left, Corporal Jake Hartley, 20, Private Anthony Frampton, 20, Private Christopher Kershaw, 19, Private Daniel Wade, 20, and Private Daniel Wilford, 21, Sergeant Nigel Coupe, 33. Lt Colonel Zac Stenning, the commanding officer of the unit hit hardest by the tragedy, paid tribute to his 'incredibly brave men' in a moving statement.

  2. Unlike capitalism, globalization is zero-sum.
    Politicians and MNCs prosper on zero-sum.

  3. Some simple math is all that is required:

    46% of employed citizens are paid from taxes collected from the other 54%.
    ie. State, Local and Federal employees, Military and prime contractors.

    We would need to tax at 46% just to support this imbalance.

    If we want to freeze our tax rate at 20% than cut 26% of those that are paid out of taxes.

    I'm all for 10% tax >> Cut 80% of the government paid workforce.

    Military spending on troops is but a small fraction of what the sole source contractors are making.

  4. Typical Islamic propaganda. The only country that will sink to 3rd world status is MohdSalleh's Iran once we have finished with it :D

    God bless Israel and USA.
