Yeah I don't know. I don't keep up with who is or isn't holding their hand out. I just know I was asking one of the coaches, who is one of our best recruiters and who refuses to make excuses about anything, about what happened with Leal and he said "Jimbo bought him a good one." I followed up with "are you serious?" He said Leal was all Texas until Aggy bought him.
I think it's decent but not great. Kids today aren't any different than previous generations. It's all the same and always will be the same for teens. The details change but the rest is a constant. As someone with five teens, this series doesnt bother me a bit. If you can't tell if your kid is like the ones in the series, then you failed as a parent.
I was on the same flight as Bijon yesterday. Dude was all smiles wearing burnt orange proudly. If that kid isn't going to Texas, then I don't know much about football. Iow, he is going to Ohio State.
Or you keep Foster at NB to the field and have Ossai on the boundary side and let the offense guess which one is blitzing. Either way, good luck making it around the edge.
i dont think we disagree on much on these points. i think its more in packaging and how you can successfully achieve it. meaning in order to reduce military budgets, you are going to have to package it in terms of reducing overall cost while retaining or increasing efficiency and effectiveness.
i dont think it would be wise to actually cut our army by 80% but i understand your point.
the only war i would have voted for in the last 20 years is Afghanistan for the sole purpose of striking back at Al Qaeda. I don't think we should have stayed as long as we did and I dont think we should have stepped foot in Iraq.
But I do think the threats from Russia and China are real so its important to maintain our alliances around the world.
because the point of the military is to be effective in deterring others and defending our nation. i want no more war as well but we can't pretend like that is something that is solely in our control. we should have a smaller, less costly military that is able to carry out the defense of our nation and allies.
like i would admit to that...
you dont think we should focus on reducing our military spend? our military and military budget are horrific examples of bloat and waste. If we could actually reduce both, reward units and divisions for efficiency and encourage a more streamlined effective approach, then we would actually improve our military while reducing our budget. instead we encourage waste and bloat through stupid budgetary policies of "use it or lose it" resulting in stockpiles of supplies we don't currently need.
i still dont understand why people think Hillary is "pro-war." i think her foreign policy would have been pretty conservative in nature and mirrored Obama's more or less.
