You can also check this online:

But after reading deeper into the whole OODA loop thing and then learning how Cheney got full briefings on it back when he was SecDef and supported it, and then seeing how he runs his office..it's fucking clear as day he's using it as a strategy bluprint.

One of my favorite parts of the book:
"One day you will come to a fork in the road. And you're going to have to make a decision about what direction you want to go." [Boyd] raised his hand and pointed. "If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments." Then Boyd raised the other hand and pointed another direction. "Or you can go that way and you can do something - something for your country and for your Air Force and for yourself. If you decide to do something, you may not get promoted and you may not get the good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won't have to compromise yourself. You will be true to your friends and to yourself. And your work might make a difference." He paused and stared. "To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That's when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do? Which way will you go?"
And also this line, when Boyd chewed out a married junior office when he was a base commander in 'nam:
"Your dick can cause you problems but it is not going to cause problems for America. I'm giving you a direct order to screw that Thai bitch every night until you are transferred out of here."
(BC the married jnr office had an affair with the daughter of a local thai contractor and then wanted to break it off bc he felt guilty, and the contractor was all up in arms against the base then...great shit...great book)

his office does not fall in the executive branch?
does not compute
- Mimio0
If that's true does he fall under legislative jurisdiction/oversight?
They'd have his fat fucking ass.

you're not surprised... are you dobby?
... the man's a boob and is obviously trying whatever he can to avoid anyone going through his incriminating files.
it's a shame you can't just 'end' a lame duck and stop wasting time.

i believe the point of the post was just another testament to arrogance

mrdobolina is actually cheney and he's been mocking us this entire time!

do you want to march?
is there a petition?
what effort exactly do you expect to see?my political activism stays at this keyboard, i'm too interested in using this system to benefit me to waste time trying to change things we don't understand or have the power to change without force.
...at which point i become a threat imprisonable for life. i have other plans for myself.
what do want/expect of us rick?

well... yeah... raise it with inflation... but don't raise it to the point of it being worthy of make a living off of... most minimum wage jobs aren't worth more than 20k/year (and that's @ 10 bux and hour... which is far too much money to work a drive-thru window for instance)...... someone mentioned the 4.1 corpo turn-around... YEP... :) ... they TOTALLY EXPECT THAT!!... Who wants to KEEP DOING that job?!!
I did it AS A KID... it was all I was qualified for (yay McDonald's!!)... then I got off my ass... took advantage of the SUBSIDIZED gov loans...
... mind you... i had cruddy grades in high school (I applied to college w/a 2.1 GPA... cuz I hated high school.. anyway... )...
... I also took on TWO part-time jobs both making near min. wage plus tips and got through college in 3 years instead of 4...
I guess I'm just saying from my personal experience... and that of MANY others I've know who are 'poor' by EVERY means of the word...
...they too did the same thing.
All it takes is a little motivation to break the minimum wage barrier... you don't even have to go to college... Hell.. my brother's been working at McDonalds since he was 17... he's 33 now...
... kid started working the NUGGET DRAWER!! (hahaha)... and now he's a regional manager... making much more than the minimum wage folks he's got working his store windows/registers and grills...
... and if they decide to stick with it themselves... work hard... they too can 'move up'.
Now... Healthcare... it's pricey... that's harsh... I agree... I'M SUFFERING because of it... I have to have some major freakin' surgery soon and I'm not exactly sure how i'm going to go about doing it...
... but the truth is that Health Care costs should be FORCED down... but not socialized...
... again - I want to choose who's holding the scalpel... I don't think that's too much to ask.

... just another thought...
... because of the immigration crack downs as of late... notice how some California Farmers are actually packing up and moving their farms to Mexico?
Now... I know this isn't an apples to apples comparison...
... but the reason the Farmers are moving is because they're forced to pay higher wages to those who live here legally. If they kept doing that... the price of a head of lettuce would sky-rocket... right?
It's the same thing w/the min wage... fast food shops etc are priced in a discount fashion... expect those businesses to dwindle... or raise prices... which will in turn make them dwindle/close stores etc...
... keeping w/inflation is one thing... but mundane jobs that require 2 hours of training do NOT deserve wages worthy of building a life on... they can be stepping stones to the next job though.

problem being is there's no way you can have enough jobs that will sustain someone's life. the economy works on low paid labor all over the world, if nike didn't have factory workers working pennies then they would have to raise prics etc. socialized foundations actually help this problem, people can worker shit jobs but have less of a burden
- mrdobolina0
that's the problem... this country has gone straight to hell in the past 6 years and all you get are people who crack jokes on people when they actually care.
I know you are just ball breaking justin, but you must see my point.
