Others have commented that he was in a cell without representation. That is not true. Under the UCMJ, he is appointed a "public defender" if he is suspected of a crime. Even if he was just being held in the brig for being UA, he would have a lawer on…

I also want to add that 1000 years ago when the earth was warmer, there were still polar bears too. So this myth that they are loosing their habitat is not true also.

A little closer to our time, on a NG special, they showed an old WW1 trench site…

northlondon: Not speaking to you as a child, just giving my thoughts. If you can't handle the fact that you may have been wrong on what a term meant then take that as a learning lesson.

As far as this story is concerned, for me, I would not defend the…

newsboy, You are very correct in your comments. When I see many people berate the US military on the facilities that we have over here, I can understand their frustration about having a foreign military on their soil. But I think the question that they need to really ask is…

Most of these places allow JSDF personnel to play on them also, without a US sponsor. Try playing at Atsugi sometime and you will see more JASDF than US players. By the way, we have golf courses on a majority of military bases in America too. Navy/Marine in Hawaii is…

One thought on this topic: If you choose not to believe in religion, it is better for you to live in a Christian country than a Muslim one. Take Italy, with the Roman Catholic church in Rome (Vatican City, a seperate country I know) at least you can choose not…

Zaphod, Christianity and Jesus predate the arrival of Muhammad and the spread of Islam. Many of the old testament stories are found in the Koran (Adam & Eve, Abraham (the father is Ismael, whom Islam and Muhammad descend from), and just like it was the angel Gabriel who recited the…

I know a few people in right places, and belive me, when the J-cops ask to speak to someone in a case like this, he is given to them. What also happens is that a US interpreter is there also, and they are escorted all the time until he is…

Plenty of interesting reads. Yes Christianity made possible the age of Enlightenment, but just as with any organization, certain people where the ones who were against it. If you were to look closely, one of their main reasons to do so was for their own self interests. It is not…
