The quote I got from "Call of Duty 2", great game, lots of great military related quotes. I found that excellent page about him via google. He was a little wacky but had an interesting philosophy to say the least, Utilitarianism anyone? I'm not here to argue wether he would have be a Republican or Democrat today though, just dropped the quote in support of our servicemen and women.

..were you in the air force though? Or is that quote required for other branches...
Hahahaha...just found this one...

Is Google Purging Conservative News Sites?
To be sure, there have been complaints in the past from conservative bloggers that Google seems to have dubious requirements to be a part of its News Crawl. In February 2005, Michelle Malkin wrote of the difficulties she was having becoming part of Google News. At roughly the same time, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs also complained about not being able to curry Google’s favor.
Yet, in the current instance, what is indeed odd is that some of the supposedly offensive content is still available at Google News even if some of the publishers aren’t. Arlene Peck’s “How Has Islam Enriched Your Life?” is still being promoted by Google News at InfoIsrael.net even though it is no longer linked by Google News to The New Media Journal.
The same is true of Barbara Stock’s “Islam is as Islam Does,” which can still be found via Google News at Renew America. And, Amil Imani’s “Islam: A False Religion” can still be found through Google News at Think and Ask.
As such, the three articles that appalled Google News to an extent that necessitated ties between it and The New Media Journal be severed can still be found at other sites by accessing Google News.
That doesn’t make much sense, does it?
As this section demonstrates, I think the idea that Google News excludes conservative sites, while probably true, is only a small part of the problem. The real pattern is that the people who pick sites to be included in the index of Google News are biased against sites that are known for being critical of Islam.
They definitely do not purge sites from their news index for Islamic supremacism and jihad ideology much more virulent and hateful than you’ll find at any site mentioned in the Newsbusters article. Two quick examples:
Khilafah.com.
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ne...q=khilafah.com
Hizballah’s Al-Manar.

ask yourself why google insiders have sold 6.5bln worth of stock...
It aint cause they think it is going to stay at that price for much longer, hell once the street figures out googles "revenue" model beyond "they do magic things in google land" things will come back down to normal.
Google is big but fact of the matter is if they dont start branching out into other verticals (not just advertising) they will be a one trick wonder.
Makes you wonder what happened to all those darkfiber runs they were talking about buying.

It's obvious that they have ignored or avoided Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, and Veterans Day since 1999. Anyone care to enlighten me as to why?

I did start arguing that Mills would be a liberal now adays. I caught myself, I was just caught up because his philosophy interested me. Sorry for the misplaced enthusiasm.
No s***. Noone spoke on behalf of Google to answer your little stinger of a question? OH MY GOSH. NO WAY. What do you want? For me to say "You're right, and on behalf of Google, I'd like to voice the opinion that Google despises all military personel and their families..." If I had the ability, I'd 'enlighten you' as to why Google doesn't change their banner on military-related holidays. However I'm not omnipotent, and cannot answer your question...I hope you're satisfied, you've proven to everyone that Google is the corporate front of the anti-American commie liberal bastard movement in America...clap clap clap.
You're smarter than that Salty....
