This woman's voice is impossible to listen to. The announcer, I mean.

[sjengske]

Does anyone else think this narrator has an incredibly annoying voice? Can't stand it.

[LadyQGinny]

Today I've watched the movie! In Spanish though, so I didn't really understand everything. But as soon as I saw Natalie, I remembered hearing about it some time ago and it was a pleasure to watch. She's so talented!

@tantorss I am not so pessimistic with regard to the US.They always were able to adjust politics.The costs of the wars should be reduced.Without loosing ground costly gained

Its completely false to spend large sums to build an army,a police,a state in Afghanistan / Iraq.They will desert and maraud the people.Give the teachers,the smiths,the shop owners of the villages guns and a mobile phone.Have some Air- and Groundforce they can call if necessary to support their defense.Like in Libya.

@tantorss Thats very true. And common is not to listen to the specialists. I remember the US army demanding 200 000-300 000 soldiers for Iraq. Administration said 100 000 is enough. And then the US got stuck in a costly war.

Ive read a few of theUS mil officers theoretical work on strategy and tactics:

About knowing yourself and knowing your enemy.

Is a possible war to be won with reasonable resources or not?

Is the result worth the cost?

Most of these considerations had been neglected in Iraq.

@tantorss I did NOT mean you. It was a general statement aimed at German lazyness and indifference.And that is the result of 200 years of oppression. Every brave German either left Germany or died during stupid wars. Or was murdered because of resisting stupidity.

And of course there is no reason to catch a bullet standing in the open. Or running your head against a concrete block if you can easily walk around. Tactics used depend very much on the situation.

@tantorss I prefer to expose the crimes that are used to suppress the people here in Germany. Taking cover may be very dangerous. If you duck and cover you may never again be able to stand up again.

Ive seen too many people disappear because of being too lazy or cowardly to fight. Or because they were no longer able to fight. Or because they thought it was a good idea to have a break and cash in.

@tantorss Ive seen this being done to someone at Frankfurt train station in the 1980s.He was handicapped and barely able to walk. I had seen him before at the airport being transported in a wheelchair. With regard to the complete surveillance of Germany with radar (see my homepage, Chapter Messungen-->Radarmessungen and Chapter Radar-->Radarantennen) there is no doubt that they are deliberately hindering, molesting and terrorizing people. The Berlin police smashed 5 windows of my car in january

@tantorss Ive been tortured in other european countries to force me back to Germany with the knowledge of the local authorities. And I can assure you that even leading secret service personnel in other countries are by far not an asshole as is the ordinary tiny German snitcher torturing and murdering to improve his personal feeling of superiority. What the US is accused to have done in Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo is a joke compared to what the German state is doing.
