Submitted by security_six on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 5:25pm.Unit is going to Iraq. Troops and equipment getting shipped to (or from) Iraq tend not to go down peacefully around here.
At least you are address problems with me to my face instead of letting me read about them on the docent email list which I appreciate.

Submitted by security_six on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 5:45pm.What kind of reaction do you expect from a post that only says a unit is heading to Iraq? I'll drop it if you guys do then.

Urgh....
Submitted by security_six on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 7:02pm.So any guy who lives on a boat and collects guns becomes Quint now :-) I got ahold of a copy and watched some of it, and fail to see the resemblance.
So I have become Quint to the OlyBlog community? Don't know if that suits me or not... :-) Outside of the boat and guns, please elaborate.
I'm laughing... :-)

Submitted by Jeff Brigham on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 8:34pm.Quint was tough enough to make it through the sinking of the USS Indianapolis!
The scene of him describing that is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

More Troops...
Submitted by a.future.with.n... on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 10:13pm....Are getting shipped out and we're talking about Captain Ron?
Plus, S6, Troops don't get moved through ports, equipment gets moved through ports. Holding a huge protest preventing troops from moving would be foolish (except with the consent of the troops i guess). However, protesting equipment, as it is the non human element of the war machine, now thats a different story. The issue is with the occupation, not the troops.
