Boeing is making progress on developing an extended range version of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), company officials say.
The weapons recently completed initial wind-tunnel tests, says Kerry Bush, Boeing's JDAM programme manager. It will enter into preliminary design review this July.
"We expect to be in production with extended range in the 2014-2015 timeframe," he says.
The initial extended range variant is a 500lbs-class weapon, Bush says.
But the weapon is not a US Department of Defense programme, rather it is being co-developed with a US ally. Boeing is not able to disclose which nation is purchasing the weapon, but Australia has dabbled in designing such a JDAM wing-kit as back as in 2006.
Boeing says the addition of the wing-kit gives the weapon three times the range of a normal JDAM. Future developments might include a powered variant, Bush says. A powered version could have 10 times the range of a conventional JDAM.

Re: marvin lewis and press conferences?
Copying over from Brad Johansenn's Bengals Blog
Marvin seemed particularly short and irritated with the media in his Wednesday session. He insisted it wasn't him. He's always in a good mood. I think some of the questions from our station reporters contributed to the mood. Just ask the beat writers.
News producers are already trying to force the hype of Super Bowl expectations ... irritation usually follows from multiple outlets. It seems this week the Kansas City media is playing up the angle of Dick Vermeil running up the score in his final game last year. Herm Edwards was happy to add to the mix by saying he believes the Bengals have reason for payback.
"I believe in sportsmanship, and I don't believe in rubbing people's noses in it," Edwards told reporters. "It sets you up. What goes around comes around."
Marvin never bit saying, "this is a different year with a new coach and what happened last year has little relevance." Players I talked to seemed to care very little about the KC hangover. But they remember what it felt like to lose 37-3.
When people say that I dont know what Im talking about when it comes to sports or writing, I think: Man, you should see me in the rest of my life.

"'You know you never defeated us on the battlefield,' said the American colonel. The North Vietnamese colonel pondered this remark a moment. 'That may be so,' he replied, 'but it is also irrelevant.'"
World War I aside, the Indo-Chinese conflicts were the most controversial and divisive conflicts that the Anglosphere has ever been a part of, and are second only to Algeria in the Francosphere. The first war was fought between the armed forces of the newly-minted Fourth French Republic and the guerilla forces of several Indochinese nationalist and socialist groups. Post-independence, the second war was fought by the USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, several Southeast-Asian countries and the forces of South Vietnam to prop up the latter's dictatorship as a bulwark against communism. Against them were arrayed the Soviet- and somewhat Chinese-backed (with some assistance from Cuba and North Korea—it's complicated) forces of the communist dictatorship of North Vietnam, and the National Liberation Front for South Vietnam (better known as the Viet Cong)—a communist guerrilla force operating in South Vietnam. The third Indo-Chinese war was a series of conflicts from the late 1970s to the end of the Cold War, including a war between Vietnam and anti-Vietnamese factions in Cambodia, and a short "punitive war" started by China against Vietnam followed by a decade-long border skirmish. But first, some simplified background details.
—Colonel Harry G. Summers Jr. and Colonel Tu, April 1975, described in the book On Strategy.

Vietnam was no longer a tributary of the Empire of the Qing, and soon integrated into French Indochine, after the conclusion of the (small-scale) Sino-French war of 1884-85 in France's favour. The Kingdom of Siam was preserved as a neutral buffer state between Indochine and the British Raj, which was being extended into modern-day Burma, though both sides shaved off ever-increasing strips of Siamese territory as desired. Dissatisfaction with French rule was long and hardly unjustified - though ostensibly there for the Viet people's benefit, the Third Republic and its entrepreneurs proved rather more interested in developing the region's economic potential (mines, rubber and tropical hardwood plantations, and general agricultural products) than educating the locals or providing healthcare and other public works for them.
As early as the end of World War One a formal request was made for self-government by the Indochinese, with increasingly informal and sporadic violent resistance breaking out here and there. Ironically, it was during the Treaty of Versailles negotiations that a young Vietnamese waiter approached President Woodrow Wilson (of the USA) to ask for help in negotiating with the French on behalf of Vietnam and the rest of French Indochina. Wilson—due to a combination of racism and having bigger fish to fry that entailed complex negotiations with the French, not to mention the British and the Japanese—refused. The Viet's name was Ho Chi Minh, who went away from the meeting much disillusioned and went to study in Moscow. He ended up spending several years as a lecturer on socialist ideology at Guangzhou's Whampoa Military Academy under Academy Director Chiang what's-his-name. There he helped lead a cadre of Vietnamese expatriots who shared his views on effecting political change in his homeland by means of direct action.
When France surrendered to Nazi Germany Indochina was occupied by the Japanese military as part of their 'blockade' strategy for cutting the Guomindang off from critically-needed sources of arms and equipment from the outside world. The USA used the occupation of Indochina as a pretext for embargoing Japan in the hope that this would bring Japan to the negotiating table... but anyhow, the amazingly successful Japanese offensive into South-East Asia which followed - launched to seize strategic resources that the embargo had denied them - was a catalyst for nationalism in the region and worldwide, since it conclusively proved that a) the European Colonial Powers could be defeated in decisive battles by non-Europeans, and b) non-European powers could be bastards too, if not even bigger ones. When the Japanese realized that they were losing the war, they went about fostering nationalism and training militia and guerrilla forces in earnest throughout occupied Asia—partly as a final 'screw you' to the Allies, but also because they genuinely believed in pan-Asian anti-European solidarity on some level.
This all came to a head when the French puppet regime—which had nominally continued to run Indochina up 'til that point—were ousted on March 11, 1945. The Việt Minh, a party of Vietnamese Marxist-Nationalists, modeled off and led by people associated with the early Guomindang of China, had successfully played the French and Japanese off against each other—and the various opposition groups against themselves (up to and including selling one of the early leaders of the Anti-French resistance out to the French) before seizing the day and trying to take both major powers out while trying to bring the other resistance groups under its wing. The day the War formally ended - September 2 1945 - they declared the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, an independent and sovereign nation with its capital at Hanoi.
Of course, the French were not to be so quickly denied. Sino-Anglo-Indian forces had just months before broken the three-year deadlock in Burma, and were at that time marching into (formerly Japanese-Allied) Siam. When the Japanese surrendered the Anglo-Indian army pressed on into Indochina and aided French forces in restoring French control by the end of the month. France recognised the prevailing mood could not be denied entirely and created a French-associated government in Saigon - the 'State of Vietnam' - to rival the Việt Minh and their contemporaries. The State of Vietnam was led by former emperor Bảo Đại, who had abdicated his throne August 25, 1945.
For a while, an uneasy peace punctuated by low level fighting endured while talks were conducted between the two sides to try resolving the issue peacefully, before the Viet Minh seized the initiative and launched another surprise offensive. The French fought back, hard, and the story of the First Indochina War (December 19, 1946 - August 1, 1954) was one of ever-escalating and intensifying conflict. When the Chinese Communists won their Civil War against the Guomindang on the Chinese mainland, they too committed forces (off the books) to supplement the USSR's (covert) aid to the Việt Minh. The Việt Minh were not the only ones stirring up trouble, either; several large left-wing nationalist (Pathet Lao, Khmer Issarak, United Issarak Front) groups entered the fight alongside the Việt Minh, alongside many smaller groups. Initially the French States of Indochina held their own, but increasingly they had to be propped up by direct intervention from France's government and military.
The result was a bloody, brutal war that led to an exhausted France - faced with a divided West and a United States whose somewhat sympathetic opinion stopped far short of directly intervening to support the government - withdrawing from Indochina after the bloody last stand at Dien Bien Phu.
After the Geneva Accords, Vietnam was partitioned into two countries: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), and the State of Vietnam (South Vietnam), which became the Republic of Vietnam after a 1955 referendum, amidst claims of widespread electoral fraud on both sides, with the Communists accusing the Saigon government of cooking the books to retain power and partition the country and the Saigon government justifying partition because of Communist subversion attempts. As a result, the referendum was eventually scrapped, and open war broke out almost instantly thereafter. The United States replaced the French as political/military backing for the South Vietnamese regime after the French withdrawal, while the North Vietnamese regime was backed by the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, Cuba, and North Korea. However, Chinese support soon dropped off after the Sino-Soviet pact went bad in c.1960 and got worse, to the point that a war between the USSR and PRC certainly looked possible if not likely. With North Vietnam choosing the Soviet camp relations between the two countries soon soured over, among other things, their differing interpretations of Socialist Ideology.
Relations in the South were dominated by the South Vietnam President Ng� Đ�nh Diệm's increasingly repressive dictatorship and the rise of the Viet Cong (officially the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam, which was largely a Southern auxiliary of the PVA). Which led to which (if either) is the subject of much controversy, but they would both go on to terrorize South Vietnam in the latter half of the Fifties. On November 2, 1963, the corrupt and increasingly unpopular President Ng� was overthrown and assassinated with the approval of the CIA.
The Giants Step In
American involvement was initially in the form of equipment, money and "advisors", but by the 1960s, these "advisors" were many thousands. Foreign countries began actively fighting on both sides of the conflict (most on the side of South Vietnam). American ships were supposedly attacked by North Vietnamese ones in 1964note , and so President Lyndon Johnson ordered a massive military presence in Vietnam to "protect the freedom" of South-East Asia and curtail the advance of Communism. In strictly legal terms, the United States didn't enter a war, as Congress never wrote a declaration of war; the entire conflict was essentially an executive order. If you go into any U.S.-government-funded library, you'll likely have to search under "Vietnam Conflict". The Korean Conflict and the Overseas Contingency Operation are likewise not officially wars.
The United States COIN (counter-insurgency) methods left much to be desired initially. The frequent tactic, mostly in the 1966-7 period, is known as "search and destroy". This would involve forces entering hostile territory, destroying an enemy force, then leaving. However, these missions usually involved destroying houses and rice paddies, causing a considerable number of civilian deaths. The resulting destruction made the US forces unpopular. Many neutrals and even friendlies switched sides to the NLF. The US forces eventually switched towards a program of "winning hearts and minds", but the damage had already been done.
It is important to remember that the USA was not just involved in a counter-insurgency operation in Vietnam, but also a conventional war, particularly in the air. The North Vietnamese had access to a number of Soviet-built aircraft, including the Mach 2 capable MiG-21 "Fishbed". While the aircraft were not as capable as the US ones, a number of factors evened things somewhat. Firstly, the US rules of engagement limited them to firing only at targets identified first, removing the long-range advantage of the US aircraft. The -21 was very good in a dogfight and the other North Vietnamese aircraft weren't that bad. Secondly, US air combat training was poor until the creation of Red Flag and TOPGUN, direct results of this war. Pilots had no experience of combat against types different from their own and were making bad mistakes in their early sorties. Red Flag, on discovering that if you got through 10 missions, you'd probably get through the rest alive, aimed to give pilots "the ten" in the form of as-close-to-reality-as-possible training missions. Thirdly, the USA had decided that missiles were the way of the future and decided to remove cannons from their aircraft. They were swiftly put back in, in the form of machine-gun pods until internal machine guns were re-introduced. Fourthly, there was the S-75/SA-2 "Guideline" (see above). This Soviet-built surface-to-air missile led to early missions being aborted by its very presence, tying up aircraft on jamming missions and reducing bomb loads to fit countermeasures. Even still, it claimed a fair number of aircraft, as did conventional AA guns. The US was fighting the air war in order to keep the skies clear for their bombers, which dropped 6 million tons of explosives, more than 5 times the amount used in World War II. Another factor was that the IFF of American airplanes were extremely unreliable, making beyond-visual-range missile launches risky for other American planes.
Although the Vietnam War is primarily portrayed as an "American conflict," and occupies a unique place in American culture and national memory, the USA and Vietnamese were not the only participants: South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand also fought in support of Saigon. Despite some excellent battlefield performances, South Korea's involvement also included a spate of very nasty massacres. Similarly, SASR units were greatly feared by the Vietnamese and respected by the US. Notably, and despite enormous pressure from the US, British prime minister Harold Wilson refused to countenance UK involvement, for a number of reasons. The British had already spent years putting down a communist uprising in Malaya in similar circumstances, the War was deeply unpopular in the UK, Wilson himself was bitterly opposed, Britain couldn't afford it, and the general (and ultimately accurate) opinion of the UK's Defence Staff was that the war could not be won. For the other side, the Soviet Union provided arms, training, materiel and (allegedly) covert special operations troops. China provided anti-aircraft troops and logistical support, such as engineering battalions. North Korea sent over 200 pilots, two fighter squadrons, and an anti-air battalion to defend Hanoi, and Cuba sent some lovely torture technicians. Amusingly, as Sino-Soviet relations deteriorated the latter soon stopped sending arms shipments to Vietnam by rail because the Chinese had started pinching it for themselves.
Traitors At Home
Back in the United States, the population was becoming increasingly unhappy with the conduct of the war, and even the war itself. The war was broadcast, uncensored, on US TV every night. It generally looked bad. The military would trumpet the "body count" (the number of insurgents they had killed), but these figures were subject to manipulation by both sides.
The nub of the issue came to be national service, a.k.a. 'The Draft'. Selective Service (to give it the proper title), done on a lottery system, had been around in the past — Elvis Presley was famously drafted for two years in the 1950s. The draft had some exemptions. You would not be drafted if you were in college. Since poor people couldn't afford college, you can guess how that went. This was changed at the end of the war. Being married meant you were not drafted. Later, they changed the rule so you needed to have a child.
There were also many who protested the war because they wanted the North Vietnamese to win and were communist sympathisers if not communists themselves. This included groups such as the Students for a Democratic Society and the Weathermen Underground, the former also often chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh. NLF is gonna win." during their Anti-War protests, which are in reference to the leader of the North Vietnamese (the communists) and the Viet Cong/National Liberation Front, respectively.
In any case, this meant that poor Americans were being sent off to South-East Asia for a cause many of them didn't understand. Some within the country thought the US was just as bad as, if not worse than, the the Soviet Union. The latter had in living memory helped Communist Hungary to suppress a revolution (in 1956) and invaded Czechoslovakia (in 1968) to topple its socialist-ically-unorthodox government, doing so in much the same way that the US had been intervening in Latin America - as per the Monroe Doctrine - for the better part of a centurynote . A large-scale anti-war movement came to the fore, one that engaged in civil disobedience, sit-ins, and peace rallies. There were also violent demonstrations, such as the activities of The Weather Underground. Many burned their draft cards in public. One of the most infamous events on the US' 'home-front' was the Kent State Shootings. On 4 May 1970, following a few days of various student demonstrations and civil unrest, the US National Guard (an army-reservist citizen militia) opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters at Kent State University in Ohio for reasons we're still not sure of. 4 people were killed and 9 wounded. It is worth noting that two of the 4 killed were not part of the protest but were merely innocent passersby (in a tragic case of irony, one was also in the Reserve Officer Training Corps trying to avoid being tardy for his next class).
Jane Fonda, a major anti-war activist, went to North Vietnam and was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese antiaircraft gun, an act she later apologized for. It severely damaged her career, "But the truth is that my career, far from being destroyed after the war, flourished with a vigor it had not previously enjoyed." Fonda received two Oscars during the 1970s and, in addition, the undying hatred of more than a few. This hatred led to a rumour that Jane Fonda also delivered a letter to the Viet Cong prison camp commander about the terrible conditions of the Viet Cong camp that an American prisoner entrusted to her to give to his American superiors that inevitably made the situation far worse for the soldier and his fellow prisoners. To this day, at the U.S. Naval Academy, when a plebe shouts out "Goodnight, Jane Fonda!", the entire company will reply "Goodnight, bitch!"
The majority of those who were sent to Indochina were volunteers of one shade or another, and the war was not *entirely* responsible for the draft, but as a way to make manpower ends meet when faced with the "long night" of Soviet supremacy following 1954 and especially 1956. Most draftees were sent abroad to places other than Vietnam both because it got to a point that the military viewed them as unreliable liabilities and the fact that the manpower crunch was that severe. However, the draft remained a dark symbol and a rallying cry against the war.
Live reports were sent home for the first time, giving a more complete view of warfare and horrifying the populace as they became aware of the atrocities and violence necessary in combat. The War Is Glorious mentality faded from the mind of much of the populace, leading to several iconic photographs [of varying accuracy] of these scenes.
Despite winning a few battles, the American-led Western Allies never seemed to make much progress in the war. As the war dragged on and graphic new reports appeared on TV, the war grew increasingly unpopular among Americans at home. The last straw for the American populace was also the decisive battle that led to American victory; the North's Tet Offensive, which, thanks to reporting from Walter Cronkite giving American viewers a look at the guerrilla fighting close-up allegedly made it seem as though the Americans lost the battle in a bloodbath. In later (1990s) US military thought, the Tet Offensive came to be seen as the ultimate proof that the idea that wars were always decided purely on the battlefield was wrong: although the US won every major engagement of the Tet Offensivenote , they lost the war. This is because the US forces were subject to public opinion, and the public opinion was that the Tet Offensive demonstrated the fundamentallly un-winnable nature of the war. This was not the North Vietnamese intention with the offensive, but they were pleasantly surprised by the results.
Seeing the need for a peace treaty but wanting to have the upper-hand during the negotiations, Nixon ordered an intensification of the bombing campaign (the height of which being 1972's Operation Linebacker II against the major cities). However, ultra-modern Soviet anti-air weaponry "somehow" found its way into the hands of North Vietnamese forces, who used it to whittle away at the USA's supposedly-untouchable Air Force. More importantly, however, the bombing had little effect, as the USA had totally misread the effect of strategic bombing from World War II - the USA mistakenly believed that strategic bombing would be a way to reduce enemy morale, when in fact the bombing of Germany and Japan proved that it bolsters enemy morale by increasing civilian/popular hatred for the bombers. What it was good for was destroying the industry and infrastructure of the enemy- neither of which were really used by the Vietnamese Communist Party and its forces, as they imported all their weapons from overseas and their guerillas had no use for a functional railway network. Today the Vietnamese Communist Party calls the failed bombing campaign "Dien Bien Phu in the air", claiming that Vietnam managed to 'crush the opposing army's best and proud war-machine and lead the war to an end with the peace treaty' - but in reality, it was simply (like the ground-war) a stalemate as the USA continued trying to use the methods of a regular/conventional/total war to win an unconventional/partisan/guerilla war. This has been likened to trying to use a sledgehammer to fix a watch.
In the end, the US resigned their ambition to achieve anything from the war ("peace in honor") and American forces unconditionally withdrew ("retreating in shame") as the South Vietnamese government would be left alone to bolster its forces. Then, when the North invaded, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam crumbled without support in the face of an onslaught by the North's Vietnam People's Army.
The war ended April 30, 1975 with the PVA rolling into Saigon, forming the new South Vietnamese government, which unified with North Vietnam the following year.
Nevertheless, some people believe that America had effectively won the war by that point, feeling that the bombing raids issued by Nixon had actually sealed the coffin on North Vietnam; many of these people feel that the only reason the South Vietnamese lost and were overwhelmed was because certain members of Congress stabbed the American military in the back- deliberately holding back relief aid efforts to the South Vietnamese. No evidence supports these claims of deliberate sabotage, but they remain a politically-powerful myth among certain segments of the population to this day.
More War
Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge overthrew Lon Nol's government in neighboring Cambodia on April 17, 1975. Despite both Vietnam and Cambodianote being socialist countries, they soon had a falling-out due to unresolved disputes over maritime borders and refugees fleeing into Vietnam from Pol Pot's genocide. The year 1977 saw some border clashes between the two countries; the Khmer Rouge massacred hundreds of Vietnamese civilians in a cross-border attack on September 24, and Vietnam responded with an offensive into Cambodia's eastern regions in December.
The Third Indochina War began on December 1978 when Vietnam launched a full-scale invasion of Cambodia, which deposed the Khmer Rouge and set up a puppet government called the People's Republic of Kampuchea. The war lasted throughout the 1980s as anti-Vietnamese factions (including the Khmer Rouge) in Cambodia carried on fighting a bitter guerrilla war, with the Vietnamese Army launching large offensives to destroy guerrilla camps in western Cambodia and across the border into Thailand; the latter would bring Vietnamese forces into battle against the Thai Army.
The Cold War continued to have a significant influence in the region; Vietnam signed a security treaty with the Soviet Union in 1978 while China secretly supported the Khmer Rouge with military aid. After the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, both China and the West would support Thailand and the anti-Vietnamese Cambodian factions. China would carry out a punitive attack of its own "to teach a lesson to Vietnam" on February 1979, starting the short Sino-Vietnamese War.
During the three weeks of intense fighting, China deployed over 250,000 men and managed to occupy three provincial capitals before withdrawing in March. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In any case, the war was something of a draw - both sides claimed victory, but the Chinese had taken heavy numbers of casualties in the process as the military had been weakened due to Mao's Cultural Revolution.
The Sino-Vietnamese War was fought for reasons which are still somewhat unclear - both countries haven't exactly been very forthright about the matter as both countries want to avoid harming current relations. What is known is that China was unhappy with Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia. Why the Chinese leadership thought that a limited war wherein they would sustain heavy casualties - in what would only be the first and most difficult phase of a proper war in which they would almost certainly go on to break the back of Vietnamese resistance - is anyone's guess. To most outsiders, it seemed that China had ended up as the worst-off after the war, as they failed to force Vietnam to withdraw from Cambodia. More recently, historians pointed out that the purpose of the war was for Deng Xiaoping to demonstrate that the Soviet Union was incapable of militarily supporting Vietnam in case of an attack; to show that China was capable as an ally of the United States; and to use the Sino-Vietnamese War experience as a "lessons learned" platform for the Chinese military leadership to reform the armed forces.
After the 1979 war a constant conflict occurred along the Sino-Vietnamese border through the 1980s; the biggest clashes since 1979 occurred in 1981 in Lang Son and the Yunnan-Ha Tuyen border; in 1984 at Friendship Pass in Lang Son and at Laoshan/Vi Xuyen; and in 1987 in Laoshan/Vi Xuyen again. The fighting consisted of sporadic artillery duels, squad-level raids, and division-sized assaults to seize hills on both sides of the border; both sides' outposts and trenches were often only a few yards away from each other. In 1988, several islands in the South China Sea were secured for China after a naval battle there. As China and Vietnam began to normalize relations by the end of the 1980s, Chinese forces withdrew from their border positions beginning in 1989 and the last combat troops left the border zone in 1992.
The Third Indochina War ended in the late 1980s as the end of the Cold War allowed the belligerents to settle on a peace agreement, which led to the establishment of a United Nations nation-building mission in the early 1990s to found a new Cambodian state.
The Bill
Note that these are estimates; the civilian death-figures are largely based off of demographic estimates, seeing as nobody at the time bothered with the expense of a population-census. They may well be under-estimates. Vietnamese 'wounded' are only listed when dead; no Vietnamese fighting force had the money for pensions, so when a soldier on either side was too wounded to serve anymore they were simply discharged and left to fend for themselves. Contrast France and the USA, which had (meagre) state pensions for those of their personnel who had been too badly wounded to be useful to them.

The War in Anglo Culture
It was a very popular area for war films from the late '70s to the early '90s. American films may show the war from an exclusively American perspective (or at least an exclusively Hollywood perspective). Many American films are opposed to the war, with John Wayne's The Green Berets being the only real exception.
Expect a bunch of drugged-up draftees (which wasn't actually the case for everyone, since 2/3s of the American soldiers were volunteers, including three future major party US presidential nominees) who will shoot anyone who looks South-East Asian, whether they are the enemy, their own side, or civilians. Also expect an emphasis on American casualties, even though 5,000,000 civilians died compared to 58,000 American soldiers. Expect incompetent officers, stuffed-up academy cadets being "fragged" (killed with grenades) by their own soldiers, various wanton atrocities, and even Catch-22 explanations about "having to destroy the village in order to save it".
According to Hollywood, Vietnam Veterans tend to be oldnote , grizzled, and broken from their experience. But in reality, things are more complicated. Many people believed they were doing their patriotic duty to stop the Communist MenaceTM, especially in the early years of the war. It wasn't until 1968 that public opinion, or at least media opinion, started turning against the war in large numbers, although the majority of civilians nonetheless felt that regardless of whether they liked it, they should vote for the war to continue.
National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam insurgents (known as Vietcong — a derogatory term meaning "Vietnamese Communist", VC, Victor Charlie, or just Charlie) and NVA soldiers don't feature very much, except as sources of weapons fire, evil torturers, punji trap layers or occasionally corpses. But of course, all of these are reversed in their war movies... when produced in Vietnam itself, given rather iron-fisted censorship that would not cop well to voicing the complaints the South and other non-Communist Vietnamese had.
Expect much use of napalm, because it smells like the victory the Americans allegedly never got. It's worth noting, however, the North Vietnamese forces never won a major battle themselves — in the Tet Offensive, a military campaign by the Viet Cong, the VC actually took so many losses they played no further major part in the war. Their secret is in part that no matter what the Americans threw at them, the North Vietnamese took the blows willingly as part of the price to pay for the cause and just kept coming; they wanted to win more than the Americans wanted them to lose. This is the only way insurgencies are ever resolved.
This is also the first American war (the French first used them to great effect in Algeria) to feature helicopters as a weapon and primary transport; in Korea they were very small, and limited to recon and light medical evacuation. The UH-1 Huey, with both side doors open, flying low over the canopy of a jungle with a grizzled soldier manning the door gun is one of the war's most enduring images.
Someone will use the word "klick" at some point, meaning a kilometer.
Finally, most importantly, and probably most accurately, there is the music. The Hollywood-Approved SoundtrackTM to the Vietnam War (and probably anything relating to the social culture of the sixties) is Creedence Clearwater Revival. "Fortunate Son" is the most popular, but "Who'll Stop the Rain," "Run Through the Jungle," "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," and "Suzie Q" will also show up. One has to wonder what CCR's legacy would be without Vietnam-Era films. The Rolling Stones and The Doors will also occasionally play. In terms of other songs, expect Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth"note and Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower" to play somewhere. If it's a protest movie, also expect "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Garfunkel, Oates, and Cher. The song is about four students that were killed by the National Guard during an anti-Vietnam War protest on the campus of Kent State in Ohio, and is the go-to song to highlight how divisive the war was back in America. On the other hand, if you see choppers, expect "Ride of the Valkyries", because you're probably watching Apocalypse Now or something making a homage to it.
To the popular mind, The Sixties or anything about it was the war, the Hippies, the Civil Rights Movement, and The Beatles or protest song-based Psychedelic Rock. Remember that.
Because this was both an insurgency and a conventional war, you can also set air combat stories here. The F-4 Phantom II, the MiG-17 and the MiG-21 feature heavily here, with the war also seeing major use of the S-25/SA-2 "Guideline" SAM (although the bulk of shoot-downs were due to conventional AAA fire).
If the work involves secret operations, expect to become familiar with MAC-V SOG (Military Assistance Command-Vietnam, Special Operations Group, later Studies and Observations Group) and Project Phoenix (an assassination campaign aimed at killing civilians that supported the NVA). Both were black ops run by the CIA, and kept very secret since the Phoenix Program was illegal in international law, and the Studies and Observations Group really didn't just study and observe.
The Vietnam War has also provided the backstory for a number of other works of fiction, including The A-Team, Airwolf, Magnum, P.I., Rambo, Taxi Driver, The Bourne Series and Jon Sable Freelance. Leo McGarry in The West Wing was a Vietnam vet.
In fact, any grizzled action hero during The Eighties has a fair chance of being a Vietnam veteran — it became such a common source of angst that some movie reviewers took to abbreviating it to "Vietvet."
Compare Holiday in Cambodia.
Important Note: As if you couldn't tell by this article, this war and its outcome is still a very strong point of contention in the USA more than 40 years later, even among people who weren't even alive at the time! Along with The Civil Rights Movement, hippies, the 'Watergate Scandal', and all the lingering cultural debates of The Sixties and The Seventies, it was/is one of the key base breakers in modern American politics. Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, and Modern Liberals still consider the war a senseless waste of human life and point to the 'My Lai Massacre', President-for-life Diem's dictatorial rule and 'Operation Phoenix' as evidence that there wasn't much difference between the "good guys" and the Dirty Communists. The USA's Conservatives, Nationalists, and Old-Style liberals continue to believe that USA - and France before them - would have won if not for the (left-wing) public's 'betrayal' of the country's military forces, that the Banana Republic of South Vietnam was still A Lighter Shade of Grey than its Communist counterpart, and contend that more people died because the USA left than were killed by the USA's troops or by its enemies during the war note and would have been killed if the war had continued.
To cut a long story short, there's not enough evidence to decisively rule whether things would have gotten better if the USA had continued trying to kill all the rebels and suspected-socialists in Indochina for another year, or five years, or decade(s). What is known is that it was fought between a corrupt kleptocratic dictatorship and a brutal Stalinist-Communist dictatorship that cost between 882 000 and 1.8 million people their lives, and left another 2 million maimed or crippled.
After all, this was, with good reasonsnote , the Anglosphere's most unpopular war.

Gena Kaufman, Glamour
As Anna's cute little sister reminded us, dating in high school is the Worst, with a capital W(TF). That said, there are a few things to miss about it.
Dating at any point in life has its highs and lows, and the lows of your teenage years are hard: the gossip, the acne, the fact that you could never quite become a popular girl. However, no matter how great dating as an adult can be, you're just not going to get the same highs as you did back when your crush walked by your locker and smiled at you: total meltdown.
Here are a few dating habits we all got into in high school that if we're honest, we kind of miss:
Passing notes. Remember how you'd fold up a sheet of lined paper into a complicated little triangle with a flap to pull it open, decorate it with a smiley face, and stick it in your guy's locker? I'm not the first or last person to lament the lost art of the written letter, but it's true: perusing your Gmail archives just doesn't have the same effect as pulling down a shoebox filled with crumped notes about how boring third period study hall is when you're not allowed to sit together.
See more: 10 Things Girls Always Do in Movies and Never Do in Real Life
Talking on the phone for hours. OMG, hiding the phone when your mom came into say good night and then whispering until you fell asleep at 2 a.m. with the phone still cradled in your ear. This was romance, people! Also a contributing factor to your acne-phones are a hotbed of bacteria smushed against your cheek. Totally worth it though.
Pranks as a sign of affection. The hottest activities at sleepovers were always: talking about boys, prank calling boys, and on a really good night, busting out your black sweatpants to sneak over to the cute neighbor boy's house and cover all his trees in toilet paper. These days you'd be seen as a bit of a psycho if you did such a thing, and it is an odd way to show affection, but those are some of the best memories from back in the day. You laughed until you were afraid you'd throw up the nachos you ate on the pre-TPing late-night Taco Bell run.
Going out on the fanciest dates, paid for by your parents. To this day, you probably haven't ever dressed up so much for a date as you did with your poofy, sequined prom dress. Nobody brings you a wearable flower before you go to the local pub on Saturday night. Plus, I'm guessing his parents don't give him money to pay for your meal like most of the parents of your high school dates did. Life was kind of easier back then, even if you didn't appreciate it at the time!
Making out under the bleachers. Or in the back of the bus. Or parked in car at your town reservoir (a thing in my hometown). Or in the wrestling room (Ariane's example). While you probably appreciate having your own, parent-free place to live as an adult, don't you kind of miss the challenge of finding secret places to hook up?
See more: 35 Truths About Marriage (According to Guys)
Making out generally. As you get older, the days of a relationship consisting entirely of hours and hours of face-sucking tend to fall by the wayside. Granted, they're replaced with sex, which is even more awesome in a lot of ways. But come on: it was totally hot to kiss until you could barely breathe but never take it further.
What other high school dating traditions did I miss? I certainly wouldn't want to go back, but it is fun to remember the good stuff, right? Any high school sweethearts out there?

2004 Ford Ranger Regular Cab 4x2 User Reviews
- No trim specified for this review
My 2003 would be a great truck if the back of the cab was easier to get to. The door needs to be 4 inches wider. Should have bought the 4 door. I don't much care for the 5 speed auto, sometimes you put it in drive and it takes another couple of seconds to drop into gear. I don't trust it?

Miners use grand slam to beat CornbeltersMarion, IL - The Southern Illinois Miners avoided the sweep tonight against the Normal CornBelters as they won the game 6-3. With the win, the Miners improve to 18-12 on the season, two games behind Traverse City in the Eastern Division. Miners starter Darrin Tew pitched six solid innings as he allowed seven hits, gave up three runs, two earned and struck out five batters to earn his first victory of the season. The CornBelters jumped out to an early lead off Miners starter Darrin Tew in the top of the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. CornBelters first baseman Robert Brooks and right fielder Steven Felix had RBI singles. The CornBelters scored another run in the top of the fourth inning as catcher Mike Mirabal hit a two out single to bring in left fielder Sam Judah to take a 3-0 lead. The Miners came storming back in the bottom of the fifth inning off CornBelters starter Jacob Liedka as they scored six runs to take a 6-3 lead. Jake Kaase had a one out single for a RBI. Darian Sandford scored on a balk by Liedka and Will Block hit a grand slam to cap off the inning. The Miners would go on and win the game 6-3, as Max Peterson struck out two batters in the top of the ninth to earn his tenth save of the season. Ryan Quigley and Albert Ayala each tossed a scoreless inning. The Miners (18-12) will welcome in the Evansville Otters (11-19) for a three game set. LHP Brian Fowler (3-1) will be opposed by Otters starter Dan Blewett (2-1). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm at Rent One Park. Most Popular |

DescriptionBerchtesgaden is a land of twisted pagan, Nazi, white gold, and climbing history. The town became rich 1000 years ago when fine salt deposits were found in massive amounts. You can tour mines still operating today (fun, for real). The Third Reich fancied up the place during WWII as a retreat including Kehlstein "Eagles Nest," which was a gift for Hitler's 50th birthday. Today it seems the pagans have endured best. Their anti-St. Nick holiday of Krampus in early december each year brings men dressed as demons wielding whips made of vine, to punish poor behavior and take the women of their choice. But alas, through all the toil, Berchtesgaden is home to many classic alpine climbs, including the Watzmann, whose famous Ostwand was climbed solo in the winter of 1953 by none other than Hermann Buhl. The best way to view this classic wall, is to take a boat ride on K�nigssee, where the water is more pure than 90percent of the worlds drinking water. Maybe it is the water that turns out climbers like the Huber brothers. Getting ThereTRAIN: From Munich, or Salzburg. 2 Total Routes

Pleasure climbing at its best, this route has a little of everything. It's mostly slab (as the route's name implies), but the 10th and 11th pitches offer up more vertical and slightly overhanging climbing.The crux is on pitch 4 and climbs thin side-pulls to reach a juggy ledge. It can also be aided (and is therefore obviously well protected) or dynoed. The rest of the pitches typically range between UIAA 4 and 5 (5.5 - 5.8), though there are several easier pitches, including an unprotected walk ...[more] Browse More Classics in International

I'll be honest. Normally I don't like gray bedrooms because so many I see look rather cold and uninviting. However, I really like yours. The trees lighten up the gray and they gave you a great focal point. Kudos to you for getting them done. Even with help of a projector or something, I probably wouldn't have had the patience to line all those trees up on the wall. Very nice though!
- February 6, 2011 at 10:43 PM
- Kate@TwentySixToLife said...
Very cool idea. I used decals for the trees in my guest bedroom and I readily admit: it was A LOT of work to get them up there right. Painting probably would have been much easier! Great job!
