Sorry folks. The special effects expert who created this hoax owned up to it c. 2006. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't any real aliens out there somewhere.

@SoChiBoss - I am a Marine veteran of close personal ground combat. Partisan politics have no place on this memorial, but thanks to the First Amendment, you are free to opinionate. I just wish you wouldn't.

Speaking as a ret. Marine SNCO who served in Recon, & in close combat (incl. as straphanger with a SOG team), & who has cross-trained with SEALs, all require physically & mentally demanding training, & all are useful in their own way. I'd serve with any of them again if the need arose. However, i...

Jackson, while undoubtedly eccentric (and a hard-core religious zealot) actually was a brilliant leader and strategist, and personally brave to the point of fool-hardiness. At First Manassas (Bull Run) he did indeed hold his Virginians steady in the face of heavy Union fire and pressure until Joh...

These histories are clever, hilarious, & fairly accurate. However, the use of "Slimy Stuarts" is unfair. The Stuarts had their flaws, but were no worse than any nobility of their day. They produced some talented rulers, but their stubbornness & insistence on "divine right" & a bishopric (plus Ja...

@USAisAntiWhite - You don't believe in the Constitution and First Amendment then? You would doubtless have been happier if the Framers had left out the parts about free speech, the right to peaceably assemble, to petition for redress of grievances, etc. What a bunch of damned liberal radical com...

I find it hard to believe so many people seem to think that this trash is appropriate for two young girls under 10. Their "parents" are either out to lunch or have dollar signs in their greedy eyes.

Rhinehart86: America 1812 was small nation of 15 states w/ tiny army & navy. Britain was a powerful maritime nation with a large army & navy, plus colonies incl. Canada (yr. 3000 miles is irrelevant), plus allies in Europe. France had nothing to do w/ 1812, only the Revolution, though Napoleonic ...

Tourists everywhere seem to be congenital idiots. see the other koala flick to see how aggressive they CAN be when riled - and how sharp their teeth and claws are.

These and other animals in a natural state are NOT domestic. That's why they are called WILD animals -- though most won't bother yo...

This film & commenters mean well but are very naive. War is about profit, resources, and control of terrain. Period. Always was, always will be. The rich & mighty make wars, the poor and working classes fight them. USMC MGEN Smedley D. Butler (2 Medals of Honor) wrote a book called War is a Rack...

Maith go leoir, a chara! Ta se an fior-bhlas!

Maith thu, a chara! Good to see you on here! Be in touch.

Mise, Seamus

Maith thu, a ghraidh. You're doing very well for a beginner with no tuition, but you seriously need to slow down, and get some tuition from an able tutor. Try to get to oneof the Willy Clancy schools or some such.

Also, listen carefully to the great pipers (such as O Floinn). Learning some Irish...

Bhi sé go hiontach! One of the finest pipers of modern times playing one of our finest airs.

Mait go leoir! The real thing, before the blasted rock and roll, jazz and Riverdance crap infested our music...

Sadly, all too true...

Good info, but the video was too rapid and frenetic for my liking, and the soundtrack was irritating. I had to replay sections multiple times to even catch the drift, and I was already on top of the situation. Bad news, is the Nuke Energy Barons (like their Oil peers) run the governments in mos...

They are all crap. If I got a Focus (small chance, I like the Prius), I would disable the speaker as soon as I got it home! I agree with those who say that both drivers and pedestrians should exercise greater caution. If US exams were as stiff as German exams, only a handful would have licenses. ...

Interesting piece of Marine history. I thought I knew most of it, but this was new to me - and my uncles were in Korea. (We were mainly a Marine family.)

But I am curious as to why they used opening shots from what appears to be a Hollywood version of the Vietnam War? There are plenty of Korean...

I fought the PAVN in close personal ground combat in 1967 & 1968, and they were tough, brave, troops. Although we usually beat them in open battle (partly due to our air), they never lacked courage or skill, and their tenacity eventually won the day when the war became politically unpopular. I h...

Good shots of the lovely Oregon Coast!

go an-mhaith!

(Feckin' BRILLIANT!)

Ryanair cinnte go leoir!

The singers are obviously unaware of the realties of war. Nobody dies with "pride and dignity." Men die many ways - screaming, crying, calling for their mothers - or just drop with a sigh. One guy I remember said, "It hurts real bad, sir." They fall shot to shit, or are torn to bloody ribbons, or...

Cute - but Sungmee45 and chubbyxDD are right - humanity is playing with many things that we have no conception of, particularly what the ultimate outcomes, "knock-on" and "ripple" effects, or other unintended consequences will be. Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius" - Whom the Gods would dest...

Maith thu! One of my favorite versions of what is a very old song. It has always had a "political" aspect, long before Pearse adapted it for Sinn Fein. Grainne Mhaol ni Mhaille, the famed female pirate of Elizabethan times, was a folk hero to many of the native Irish, and in their minds, eventual...

Both Irish and Scots are "Gaelic" - two languages diverged from a common Celtic language root following its introduction into Scotland from ireland c. 400 AD. Irish is "Gaeilge" and the Scottish is "Gaidhlig." There are idiomatic and pronunciation differences, but many shared words and forms. Th...

This has been going on for all of history. As Tom Paine wrote in " The Age of Reason; "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own c...

I have been both a Scottish (piob mhor) AND Irish (uilleann) piper for many years. My main teacher on the Irish pipes admired the gaide and indeed all the Balkan pipes. He collected them and played them well. He also spoke some of the Balkan tongues. I like them too, though I don't know the langu...

Pipers have played Gaels to war for centuries. Sadly, despite the incredible bravery of these men and many others, the "War to End All Wars" failed to do so. Humanity seems determined to keep killing one another over foolishness like politics and religion., while the rulers get rich. I was a pip...
