Fun fact: Digging your hand in the sand makes all your problems disappear - MAGICALLY!

If you want my personal reason for engagement:
Before the voting started, I saw lots of sponsors, but surely not the USAF... I'm very positively sure that I would have noticed that... you can't overlook that blue symbol...

Now, as they decide to withhold the results from us for about another month (I mean: wtf - it's the internet! Transmitting the results with postal doves would have been ******* faster!)
As I understand they need the time to prep things up and make a nice hour-long video that no one will have the patience to sit thru, because we WANT THE ******* WINNERS... not some video. A short text-list will do just fine. Wouldn't even cost much bandwidth... but nooooooooo.
[And for the staff picks... they could have done that during the voting time...]

But then, suddenly, this big blue, ugly thing pops up and you realize that they are sponsored by real war gamers, i.e. blood money.
(Once again, I assure you that I didn't see that specific sponsor's symbole beforehand)

Not cool.

All glory to the dictator who redeems us of our un-needed conscience, thinking ability and/or feelings of guilt.

You remind me of the 3 Monkeys.

In Order For Evil To Triumph, Good People Do Nothing!

BTW, really good excuse. I should save that up for whenever I feel obliged to justify genocides and murders.
Those poor SS soldiers... they were just executing orders as they should. Who could have guessed that burning defenseless Civilian Jews might be wrong, after all?

I see that the major part of being a good killing tool (= soldier) is stopping all blood flow to the brain - you just "work" better that way, if there is no thinking involved in your killings...

So, from your perspective, people should (have) support(ed) the SS...

More weapons - less books; more boot camps - less schools; more soldiers - less citizens.

Why not replace bread with bullets? I'm sure they taste good. And look shiny, too!

Surprise-surprise!
*enter the Reliable Replacement Warhead Program (RRW)*
En.wikipedia.org

"The RRW program is contrary to the "general and complete disarmament" of atomic weapons required by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which the USA has signed."

"Critics maintain that this innocuous-sounding program could significantly damage US national security. Critics believe an expansive RRW program would anger US allies as well as hostile nations. They worry it would disrupt the global cooperation in nonproliferation that is vital to diplomacy with emerging nuclear powers such as Iran and North Korea and to controlling clandestine trafficking in nuclear materials and equipment."

"Additionally, critics question whether or not the RRW program would force the United States to once again resume nuclear testing, as the US is unlikely to consider the new warheads "reliable" enough unless they have been tested at least once."
-> Hooray! New children born with deformations because of above-ground testing's fallout.

It seems they are betting on stupid people, who will sign up for anything after playing a mod... like this:

"Aaah, now I've flown a TIE Fighter for the Empire long enough... lemme see, if I can up the ante... ah, the USAF - well they are not exactly the Empire and I guess flying their **** is a lotta easier than the TIE Fighter, but let's give it a *wink-wink* SHOT..."

Interesting.

Adding another interesting statistic:
In the last year more Americans died because of PEANUT ALLERGIES than because of the much-more-feared Terrorism.

Why not start a War on Peanuts?

"If you are saying that we shouldn't be at war because we lose soldiers or civis die, well that war and its been that way for thousand years!"

Just a little something changed. Right now we hold in our hands the potential to kill the whole planet by the means of nuclear bombs.
Just because you are sitting on a stockpile that might go off any day doesn't mean they have ceased to exist. And you are not the only (moronic) nation in the world, which possesses craploads of them.

War today is different from war yesterday.
A stick, a stone or a sword could not **** up the whole ecosystem and turn this blue planet into a smoking re-imagination of Hell...

The nuclear arsenal will.

So ******* use your brain before ***** comes out of your keyboard, will ya?

Btw, I'm German and I'm superior at English grammar and orthography compared to a "native" American?

I just hope the US military has at least _some_ recruiting standards left...
Otherwise we ARE doomed...

But in Iraq there is your target: dead. But it wasn't a lone being. He has brothers. As Iraq is an developing nation, probably lots of them. Guess how they feel? For starters in human psychology: Hatred, vengeance, revenge and lust for payback come to mind here.
Of course they don't know you, so they can't strike back @ the very person (you), who caused their grief, but they can sure as hell **** up some Americans by becoming so-called "Insurgents" (even if they didn't like them before, NOW they do). So they join the local Al'Quaeda franchise, get indoctrinated by Islam Mujaheddin School (who are in charge of keeping the hatred of Western Infidels (you) at a nice and constant 99° C (not Fahrenheit...)

Next thing you know, an IED goes off in Iraq or even in the USA and kills some American infidels, which again gives your president the reason to start off another war, and, creating even more terrorists by that action while that vicious circle is spinning like Satan himself put it on an OD of speed.

So, all in all. How many lives did your magical jet save? And how many terrorist did you create in the very process of "saving lives"?
You tell me.

"jet that could save lives in our country"

Oh man... please don't make that kind of jokes again... you are KILLING ME!

How, exactly, does a ******* $200million+ killing-machine save lives? How? By reducing the Iraqi population by a handy hundred you save how many Americans AT HOME? How?
Is this some kind of cats' lives thingy? Take 8 off the brown people and achieve 8 for yourself?
Or some kind of zero sum game?

Man, this comment speaks books about the successfulness of propaganda and the mental state of the (coming) US military...

Here is what _will_ happen.
You join the USAF, you get trained in flying that magcial "live-saving jet", you get ordered to some country, you drop a bomb and kill your target. Unfortunately your strike wasn't as surgical as Army advertising videos suggest, so you also inflict some "minor" (= heavy) Civil casualties. Effectively, you not only hit your destined target, but also several innocents.
You return home, debrief and get a medal (or just keep on repeating this).

...to be continued...

You make a mod = you are an artist (sort of)
USAF advertises here = they want people here to join
Who are the people here? -> players and makers of mods

Ergo: USAF wants artists to join.

Otherwise advertising would be spent unwisely.

Maybe because they are the biggest employer of the USA.
There are no jobs left in America, because China has become the back door shop of the world (incl. America). So, what's left? The arms industry and the "industry" that puts those arms to good (?) use: The Army.

Good answer? Tell me.

"The men who have been given orders to fight there. Who have been draged away from their Country, their Friends, their Families. I dont support that war."

You make it sound like a natural disaster, totally detached from human involvement.

Being dragged away from your country, your friends and your family is the logical byproduct of enlisting and getting ordered around as a soldier...

Seriously, if I invited you to a Barbecue, I guess you would go like this:

"I was invited, but then, there was FIRE! Fire everywhere, made by flammable substances and coal, it was so hot! I really didn't expect fire on that Barbecue - I mean, who would? Fire! Barbecue! Impossible!"

Seriously. I'm not the low person to wish soldiers bad luck, but do you really think that overblowing tax payer's money on useless, absolutely useless crap like bullets and missiles and tanks and the biggest arms budget in the ******* world is a good idea?
What kind of citizen comes out of military training?
The thinking man or the semper-fi-order-me-around I-will-follow-any-stupid-idea as-long-as-I-get-to-play with-my-hi-tech-killing-toys type?
Heck, it's your ******* money it gets financed with.
To fight a war on terrorism...
Why not fight a war against rudeness?
Or bad weather?
Chances of winning are higher...

But I guess there's not enough pathos and honour in medical care and public education... so, have fun in Iraq boys and support the madne- troops!

Fail @ thinking:

So, what you say is: Blow-up the etats on war spending till money squirts out of the generals' ears, IN ORDER to give it to better non-war causes?

Wouldn't it be better to spend that ******* CASH on other (much more needy parts) of the society (like schools) in the ******* first place?!

And I guess I don't like well-oiled killing-machines, taking orders from any moron that happens to win the Nation's Elite Beauty Contest (sry: I meant Presidential Elections).

Think of Palin ordering the USAF to start the 3rd World War.

Tim Berners-Lee disapproves.
And now use that ******* craploads of money you funnel through that afterburners each year and buy something USEFUL for it... like health care, free schools or something that would put America back on the map as a real model for freedom, liberty and democracy.
As long as that does not happen, I consider the US of A the proud self-proclaimed bully of the world.
You may have the biggest arms expenditures, but keep on spending your money on bullets and missiles and you will become a nation of morons, easily outclassed by any other 3rd world country, considerung public services, education and civil liberties...

"Now as for the war in Iraq. Who nows why our Ex-President sent troops their."

That's the beauty of non-thinking soldier-drones: They don't think. They act as ordered. They don't even care who they have to shoot today... great "citizen" material, really...
And so free... and independent...

...and brainless.
