Mike Yared
Cluster bombs called 'war crime'

International Criminal Court (ICC) for prosecution, academics, lawyers and
human rights activists in London said earlier...

V-4 Missile Possibilities by
robert arndt
After reviewing the information provided on Unicraft's V-4 page, I
took a look at the dimensions of the missile and the ramjet engine,
which is definately not an Argus or Lorin type.
The Pabst ramjet, however, matches exactly in dimension and
configuration. It had been successfully tested as...

Modern day propeller fighter - hypothetical by

Unusual landings on aircraft carriers by
87015
Many years back I recall a Sea Harrier landing on a container ship or such
rather than ditch in the sea. There was a two page spread about it in the
magazine "Air Pictorial" a few weeks after the incident. This was in the late
1980's.
Of course I do know (and have seen the photos) of the 1960's...

"The New Soldier" by John Kerry et al by

Apparently John Kerry co-authored a book in 1971 called "The New
Soldier." There seems to be varying differences of opinion about how
much of it he actually wrote (other than his US Senate testimony during
the "Winter Soldier" hearings), but his name is certainly prominently
displayed on the cover...

America's Army Sucks, Fact by

America's army sucks.
They have no idea how to fight a war. I mean dropping bombs from a
B-52 at 30,000 feet isn't war, its called a western. Their a bunch of
cowboys. And now we here about the disgusting behavior of American's
torturing Iraqi prisoners.
For real soldiers, look other the other...
