Re: Military leaders pushing 'Armageddon views' on troops as Iran war begins: complaint

mikeski — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 05:03:10 -0000

All the religious BS aside the US has a very valid stake in this. This should have (but couldn't have) happened a long time ago. Iran has literally been "at war" with the US since 1979. They have killed or maimed countless American service members and gotten away with it until now. It is tiring to watch people like you be so paranoid. I wish I was still in so I could take part in this. MOST of the troops are stoked to be doing this, but very few believe that they are ushering in the "end times". This military action has broad support in Middle Eastern countries, Oman shot down 2 Iranian fighter/bombers the other day, Saudi Arabia is talking about joining the US and Israel in this battle against Iran as are other Middle Eastern countries. You need to just relax and let the adults handle this.

Did you wake up and decide to be as wrong as it gets? tariffs will only affect buyers that allow themselves to be affected. Food isn't something that we import very much of, there are a few things, but not many. Fear tactics didn't win elections this time around, and fear tactics won't leave you looking good when the stated fears don't materialize.

@Wayne Holmes First I want to say that it is very nice of you to have this forum to answer questions! You are a good person.

Secondly I want to thank you for your help. I bought the XPR6550 and have no trouble programming it!

Now I have another question for you. I own a VHF XPR6550 and a UHF XPR7550. I am having trouble getting my zones to appear in the order that I want them in. Is there a way to do this without using a number prefix? Example would be these zone names Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit, Weather. Would I have to rename the zones 01 Charlotte, 02 Atlanta, 03 Detroit, 04 Weather? I have way more zones, those are just an example.

Hi Wayne, I asked the seller and the firmware version is R01.12.17. Is that still good for CPS 16?

Because you were never trained in "national security", and as I predicted, nothing happened to the guy that shot her because he and I understand the law better than you do.

IF you have a Motorola account, you can "buy" a "wideband EID" (They're free) BUT you have to take a class on line from Motorola in order to get it. I ordered 10 of them. The reason you have to take the class is because Motorola wants to be sure that you understand the FCC rules governing the narrow banding and what services are exempt from it. For instance I am a ham radio operator, our VHF and UHF frequencies are exempt from the narrowband rule, therefore it is legal for me to use the wide bandwidth of 25 KHz instead of the 12.5 KHz on those frequencies. I know GMRS uses a mixture of frequencies, so are 20 Khz wide, others are 11, or 16 KHz wide. You need to know the difference before you program the radio otherwise your radio's performance will be degraded, and you could find yourself in violation of the FCC's rules.

I own an XPR-7550 (UHF), that I have programmed with CPS 16, but when I look at the radio it says the CP version is 06.00.14, I have looked at two XPR-6550's on Ebay and when I asked the sellers about what CPS the radios were programmed with, one sent me a photo showing the "CP Version" as 13.02.03, and the other just told me the same thing, but I am pretty sure that CP version is not the same as CPS version. Can anyone tell me what the difference between CP version and CPS version is?

Blah blah blah blah, real internet tough guy, aren't you? I am giving you verifiable FACTS, Children are considered unreliable witnesses, that is why prosecutors are so willing to accept a plea deal. If you testified as you say you did, then the prosecutor must have had a rock solid case, and or your story must have been unshakable, Too bad you're not as strong minded as you were then,

You are so lost. The husband can not prevent the wife from testifying. The law simply says that one spouse can't be FORCED to testify against the other. IF what you claim is true then now woman could ever testify against her husband in a spouse abuse case or in a divorce. If I were you, I'd get your money back for your internet law degree.

Children are considered unreliable witnesses in court, they have a hard time under cross examination. I don't buy your "story" that you were molested and testified.

What part of she has agreed to testify is getting past you, or not penetrating your thick skull? The law says she can't be forced to testify, it doesn't say she can't testify. Reading is fundamental.

It's really easy for you to say that because you have no idea what you're talking about. Her victims are children, putting them on the stand to testify against her would only harm them more, 41 years? Her life will pretty much be over when she gets out of jail.

@jtp98 There's always one in the crowd, and this time it's you. Another person that has no knowledge of what they're talking about but yet in a public forum displaying their lack of intellect for the rest of us. You're in a very small minority of people that don't think the war to liberate Kuwait was just. Unlike you, I have been to Kuwait, and saw first hand what the Iraqi military did to those people, and to the country itself. You obviously wanted people's attention, well you got mine. I suggest you go enjoy a nice warm cup of shut the hell up, and go on with your miserable existence. I won't call it a "life", because it's clear you don't have a life.

Sweetness enjoy your retirement, you're an awesome individual and always have been.

The Challenger was a hoax? Seriously? I wouldn't say that around the friends or families of the astronauts, they're really committed to "the lie". Get some help. No seriously, you need help. You my friend are seriously mentally impaired.
