Are there women in Iran? Seems every take I see on TV only shows men. Are women so suppressed in Iran they are not allowed to mingle with the men?
We had a gal piloting the B2 that flew over the Rose Bowl. I don't understand how people can support regimes that treat ladies like they have zero rights. Maybe Rose should move to Tehran?

Women have lots of rights in Iran. I have a relative who's Iranian and his sister still lives there. I've discussed this with her. My relative is a U.S. citizen as are his children. Apparently even the children of an Iranian are Iranian. They have even traveled over there using their Iranian passports even though they are also U.S. citizens. Their mom, my niece, cannot go because the Iranian government has so much red tape in getting her a visa that she's given up and she's an attorney.

You know what? Even my hippie friends treated me nice. The only time I got shit was once in a PCC writing class and again right in here in the Off Topic Forum. Someone in here once called me a baby killer. It was so absurd that I didn't even feel offended. I felt like that person had a serious problem that had nothing to do with me.
I too have always supported our men and women in uniform. They do their jobs protecting me and mine while we sleep safe and sound in our beds at night regardless of their politics Left or Right. This is another reason I chose to go, Had I chosen to flee some other average guy would have had to take my place and maybe not even gotten to go home after they completed their tour. I had to go, like it or not.

While we're on it, I knew so great guys who chose not to go. I had one friend who was all the way through Officers' Candidate School with just the etiquette part to go when he realized that he was a conscientious objector. I've never respected anyone more. What we choose to do has to come from the heart and not because of the fear of the consequences.

Of course it helps to not be stupid. I volunteered to be door gunner on a helicopter. I said I was young, did not say I was smart.

One of my best buds was also a door gunner on a chopper and he was shot down and made it out alive. Went in straight as an arrow (excellent baseball player too) didn't hardly know him when he got home as he had changed so much. I felt so bad for him and others that got addicted to heavy drugs while there in an effort to ease the pain. Vietnam vets have a special place in my heart! In graduated in 69 and was in the very first lottery that summer, my number was 359. I was going to join the Navy if drafted as my pop was huge Navy. It tuned out instead playing baseball for a few years at the community college level then getting married.

I know the Iranian people a great people, but I don't agree with their Islamist Theocracy and how they do suppress many of their own people.

When we first invaded Iraq I felt there was a responsibility to help get them back on their feet. I no longer feel those things. Just stop invading, period. We're in total agreement here. See, it's not that hard :)

We took them off their feet. They had nothing to do with 9/11. Not a damned thing. No weapons of mass destruction. Just a ploy by Cheney to still oil.

My friend that died was addicted to heroin. He was being treated at the VA.

69' was when I got out of the Army.

I tried getting into the Air Force, Navy Reserves, Coast Guard and National Guard, anything but the Army or the USMC. The only choice I had was to join the Marines or get drafted. As it was I came within a whisker of getting drafted into the Marines.
 
Trump assassinated a top general. There will be a new general and there will be hell to pay.

You've got something in common with cup. He played baseball in college.

Trump? Is he really advocating for someone to put a bullet in Trump? Assuming that is who Calvin Natt was referring too.

I hope he wasn't.

We need some clarification here.

I think it's pretty clear. And its to far.

Hugh Hewitt: I would thought that today, this is our sixth interview, I’d turn to some of the commander-in-chief questions. Are you ready for that?

Donald Trump: Okay, fine.

Are you familiar with Gen. Soleimani?

Yes, but go ahead, give me a little, go ahead, tell me.

He runs the Quds Forces.

Yes, okay, right.

Do you expect his behavior—

The Kurds, by the way, have been horribly mistreated by us.

No, not the Kurds, the Quds Forces, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Forces.

Yes, yes.

The bad guys.

Right.

Do you expect his behavior to change as a result—

Oh, I thought you said Kurds, Kurds.

No, Quds.

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you said Kurds, because I think the Kurds have been poorly treated by us, Hugh. Go ahead.

Obviously good with the military.

Military deal with Afghanistan any day now.
Military deal with Iran any day now.
Military deal with Ukraine any day now.
Military deal with Russia any day now.
Who have I left out? Venezuela? No, no Syria? Oh I know, China? I've got it, I've got it, Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud colloquially known as MbS in Saudi Arabia.
