    Apple iPhone4 - the video you never saw -

    I have an old iPhone 3g... bought it for use when i was traveling for a living. AT&T's network was not the issue for me. The phone hardware was solid. The problem that i had was the OS. I had to reimage the phone once or twice a week. It was a nightmare because at the time I had only 30 hours peer week at the house so for me to spend 2 hours reloading the phone was not acceptable. Went through 3 iphones in 9 months.

     

    Bought a Palm Pre... atleast now if the phone takes a dump I can reload everything over the air.

    North Korea's Army is poorly trained and poorly equiped and poorly supplied. A large amount of them are conscripts. If they launched an attack they would get a few miles inside the border maybe 12 as the south koreans and the US trade space for time and killing. Think attrition. At the same time the USAF is hitting NK supply depots and convoys especially fuel. Then it is the PAIN TRAIN. North Koreas exhausted, poorly supplied and demorilzed force will have to stop and the US and SK forces counter-attack. No supplies to fall back to and no where to hide. The us and sk forces could role up the NKA like an old rug and toss'em in the trash. Game over.

     

    The unknown factor here is CHINA. On the one hand the like having a buffer between an American ally and their border and they are going to want to support the NKA to that end. On the other hand they know that if they lend too much support they become a target themselves.

    Also north korea has a large port that china would love to have as it would greatly shorten shipping times. If Nk starts something and it goes poorly what is to stop China from siezing that port so the "American aggressors" can not use it? And who is going to make China give it back? NK... not a chance! The UN?.... the guys in blue helmets couldnt fight their way out of a wet paper bag! I doubt the US would risk open war with China.

    The current state of relations between US and China is not as good as the media makes it out to be. A lot of industial esponoge(sp?) and software piracy operations are carried out there... Often times it is the chinese govt that leads these efforts and then passes the gains and technological knowledge directly to companies based in China. From a social stand point this is perfectly acceptable behavor in china, or so it would seem. The rest of the world has a differant opinion. China has to walk a fine line here as they want to keep NK as a buffer but they can not fully support the NK state if they go to war.

    Realistically, the only thing the Chinese can be counted on to do is to act in their own best interest and that is what they will do.

     

    My bet if a war kicks off...

    NKA Ground forces make gains the first few days inflicts losses but looses far more than it can afford in attrition. NKAF is wiped from the earth in the first 72hours or less. After a week NK fuel supplies are exhausted, Food is scarce, Ammo is gone. Now its payback. Within 48 hours of the counter attack by combined SK and US forces much of the gains made by NKA forces are erased with pockets of resistance skattered throughout. China is providing support to the NKA but not in sufficent quantiies to make a differance. The US and SK forces reach the 38th parallel... and keep on going. NK was falling apart before the war. Now the shit really has hit the fan. As the SK and US forces roll up the penesula practicly unapposed, China sees the hopelessness of the situation and siezes the port that I named earlier. NK ceases to exist after about 1 to 3 months.

     

    I hope that it does not happen.

    Paintball game this past weekend.... Staring ME!!!

    Nice move there. You didn't try to get him to surrender? When I sneak up on someone like that I just yell out surrender with my marker on them. If you get the voice right you can really scare the crap out of someone. I actually had one instance when I snuck up on a guy in a house and peeked in through the window. I yelled surrender! as loud as I could and the guy dropped his marker. Then, his buddy, who I didn't even know about, also dropped him marker. Had I just shot the guy I might have been lit up by the second guy. (I play with a stock-class Phantom about half the time.)

     

    normally I would surrender a person at that range however the fire from the other team was way to intense to stand there and wait for a response. Plus bunkering was allowed. Lastly when I raised up and drew down on him he kinda raised his marker in my general direction... at that point training (i have an army background) takes over. This is also one of the reasons I dont become a cop.

    A buddy of mine shot this video of me playing paintball this past weekend... I had no idea he was filming.

     

    The situation for my team at the time this was filmed was not good, my center was yielding and my left flank was slowly colapsing, my right flank was advancing slowly... I was on the left flank trying to rally the troops and buy time for the guys on the right flank to accomplish their mission. This Video is just a small part of the action on the left flank.

     

    The video above is one of the guys from the ranger side... he managed to take a forward bunker and was really riping into my guys.

     

    As the ranger was tearing in to my guys I went up to the forward most bunker. Was WAY to much fire on that bunker to stay there as be effective... it was taking fire from 3 enemy positions. Nevermind the fact that my wingman was shot getting to it. I desided to low crawl up on the ranger.

     

    Supriseingly, the ranger never saw me crawling up to him... I even stopped to take a little break on the way cause I got tired. Once I got there (FINALLY!!!!) I sayed still and quiet being careful not to touch the bunker or make any kind of disturbabance.

     

    I kinda felt bad for the guy but he would have done the same to me... Alls fair in love a war.
