Company Commander Reprimanded Over Taliban Attack - The people who should be receiving reprimands are those who decided to locate that COP in a location that resembles the bottom of a cereal bowl. Even a "shave-tail" directly out of a service academy knows a position like that is basically indefensible unless you're willing to expend your men. The troops on the ground did a helluva job given the position they were forced to defend, and the Cpt deserves his Silver Star. Having buried way too many comrades I feel for the families and their loss; they are entitled to an explanation of how and why their loved ones died. However, their quest for information should not lead to what amounts to a witch-hunt by politicians (and historians) who have no real concept of battle conditions. From NeoCon

Starring the Computer - Starring the Computer is a website dedicated to the use of computers in film and television. Each appearance is catalogued and rated on its importance (ie. how important it is to the plot), realism (how close its appearance and capabilities are to the real thing) and visibility (how good a look does one get of it). Fictional computers don't count (unless they are built out of bits of real computer), so no HAL9000 - sorry. From Nony
