Tabs,
Its funny that the people who have never been under attack feel this way. Just wait until you start taking incoming fire and your survival instincts become very focused and your values in life change.
I like the one where someone said if it would save one American solders life,
"red is for positive, black is for negative and turn the volts and amps up"...
The bases I was stationed in Berlin always had a car right inside the main gate. It was changed ever few weeks when they had a fresh "speciman" available. The car was usually mangled and torn up in the center by the forces of the explosive. The blood and small bits were usually not removed, just to reinforce the fact that one or more of our mates died due to this terrorist action. This was done to make us realize that the minute you go out of the secure compound that there are people out there trying to kill us and to keep our guard up.
Fast forward to a dirty bomb in Vegas. The Minuteman action in the AZ desert would look like childs play after a "dirty bomb" was exploded in any of our cities, and the patriot act would be in force and stiffened.
Do I want to see it? Hell no, but feel fairly sure that it will happen someday somewhere in our country. It very well may happen in Europe as well. The Border patrol has found copies of the Koran in the desert where illegals cross. Doubt very much that many people of Hispanic orgins are converting to Islam, so the bad guys are getting in this way as well as through Canada. They are not coming like the Mormon Elders to spread religion to the masses.
Hope everyone is ready...
