Just watched Baghdad ER the other day. Watching it you really feel grateful for what the men and women of our armed services go through to protect us.

I get upset when some people relate sports to war...I have done both...they are nothing alike

Our soldiers are the bravest in the world and they deserve all of our respect for what they do:yesnod:

The lynchpin of modern history.

On a much less important note....how bout Ben vs. Matt in the movie selection/career path thingy?

Matt makes Saving Private Ryan, Ben takes Pearl Harbor.

Matt gets the Bourne series, Ben does Gigli.

I'm just sayin', they are both very wealthy, successful young men, I just can't help noticing one gets roles that rock, the other gets poop.

Is it the actor or the choices they make?

I took my Mom to Hawaii in 1993 and we were at the Arizona Memorial.

During the Park Rangers tour, I asked if it were true that if you served on the Arizona that you could request burial aboard when you died.

My Mom, (and the rest of the tour group) didn't know this and was surprised to find out that it is true. Park Ranger Divers will take the interred body and place it in gun turret #1. There were over a dozen sailors that had requested it.

She asked how I knew this fact. I told her it was an episode of Magnum PI! And people say that TV isn't educational!

Maybe it depends on what you are willing to do to get the role. *casting couch*

And apparently, Ben is not the performer that Matt is.....:D

The USS Arizona Memorial has 7 windows on the side, 7 on the top and 7 on the opposite side. In a pertetual 21 Gun Salute!

Elvis Presley while in Hawaii filming Blue Hawaii, performed 3 concerts. The money from the 3 concerts were donated to help build the memorial.

The USS Missouri (Big Mo) (The ship that the Japanese signed their surrender on.) Is moored at Pearl Harbor and it's bow faces the USS Arizona. Forever stading watch over the USS Arizona and her men.

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
