A chorus of water molecules in drops tapping out the Anvil Chorus on Normandy blvd in South Central LA (Watts) during a spring sprinkle?

In a follow up message, he reports that it's Midshipmen Rumspringa. After their freshman year, at either the Academy or an ROTC program, middies are sent to the Fleet to participate in ship operations ad members of one or another division, usually as petty officers for the summer. For their...

Ummmmm, the mind boggles!

:lol:

JUST got a text from my son, the BM3 on the USS Normandy: I didn't know that midshipmen were not immune to fire or paint.

Egad! WTF?! They aren't serious right? That could make the result of The Bay of Pigs look like Normandy. You can't bluff like this, your dick falls off if you pull back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...eyes by Holger Eckhertz Five fairly long interviews, taken in 1955, with ordinary German soldiers who were in the first line of defence at Normandy on D-Day. Some truly harrowing descriptions of the personal experience of what each man went through on June 6 1944 - one interviewee was...

Oddly enough, he opposed the landings in Southern France two weeks after Normandy. Operation Dragoon. Which were rather successful. This operation was named Dragoon supposedly because Churchill had to be dragooned into supporting it reluctantly.

...either; in WWII, he was a constant agitator for attacks on the 'soft underbelly' of Europe, which diverted valuable resources from the Normandy campaign, and which had almost zero chance of success due to his apparently having overlooked the existence of the Alps. His belligerent attitude...

...most likely to succeed. In Summer 1944, a German who had been part of Hitler's personal guard at the Berghof had been taken prisoner in Normandy. He revealed that at the Berghof, Hitler always took a 20-minute morning walk at around the same time (after 10:00). Hitler liked to be left...

That's not an arbitrary distinction because its unreasonable to expect ground troops to know whether the special operations commando parachuting in on them is combat ready or not. Spec-ops are trained to land guns ablazing and are highly lethal while incomming. Pilots carry pistols not...

...pilot armed with a machine gun is a war crime, but shooting at a parachuting infantryman is not (even if they've lost their weapons, like the infamous Normandy leg bags). I'm not saying I have a better solution, but there's war crimes, and then there's war crimes. This is one of the former.

Seems that the new labour leader in UK Jeremy Corbyn refused to sing God save the Queen since he is a republican and atheist. The media frenzy over this dastardly act got so bad that Hitchens who loathes him came to his defence -- So how long do you think this honest politician would last?

My favorite part is when the Plushkat (the German in the bunker who sees the invasion) calls up his superior, and when asked "Where are those ships heading", he replies "Straight for me".

...50 years after it came out, although it's not a classic. Where the film succeeds is in giving a true sense of how epic an undertaking the Normandy invasion really was. There are also a number of effective combat scenes. Where it falls short of the best war films is in the lack of a real...

Uh huh. What does 15 points difference on one test mean for the life chances of people?

Ah, statistics, my specialty. Yes one gets what one has with statistics. Yes the genes the key if the subject is a standard subject. Why? Well laws are discriminatory. It is human nature for that to be so. Income is discriminatory. It is economic nature for that to be so. IQ is...

Before IQ was standardized to make the standard deviation 15 and the largely-white median of 100, it was calculated as the ratio of mental age over chronological age multiplied by a hundred, and you can still get a rough idea of IQ scores that way. A person with an IQ of 80 is expected to have a...

Which means what? in real terms, what? - - - Updated - - - And keep in mind, the Normandy kids did better in the white schools and the white schools test scores did not drop.

...their orders to support the war effort. They'd have loved it if someone had figured out a diplomatic solution before they landed at Normandy or had to get up out of the trenches and slog forward towards that machine gun nest. It never hurts to ask if we've considered all the alternatives...
