<p>This forum is just for capturing some of the worst failures of the US military machine. The failures can be from:</p>
<ol>
<li>Military leadership (like the evacuation of Kabul)</li>
<li>Political leadership (like the failure to define a clear objective in Afghanistan)</li>
<li>Security (like the theft of all the micro technology for nuclear warheads by a China)</li>
<li>Military discipline (like the burning and destruction of a $2B warship by a disgruntled sailor)</li>
<li>Fiscal discipline…</li>

<p>I think that there is only one possible reality, as evolution sorts out everything that is not functional. The new theories about the formation of solar-systems is very interesting, they point out that we had assumed that our solar-system was typical, but it seems there is lots of variation, with some that have gas-giants close to their suns.</p>

<p>I think that there is only one possible reality, as evolution sorts out everything that is not functional. The new theories about the formation of solar-systems is very interesting, they point out that we had assumed that our solar-system was typical, but it seems there is lots of variation, with some that have gas-giants close to their suns.</p>
<p>I also reason that time is eternal and space infinite, and that numerous universes have evolved and decayed, maybe. Alternatively space and time might be finite. I can understand that there can never be an end but how could there ever have been a beginning, where what is (the reality and the physical universe we inhabit) came into being from nothing. From nothing existing to everything existing. How can there never have been a beginning and everything have always existed? The explanation is that everything has always existed in some form or another, or is it?</p>
<p>Questions beg questions but the questions are interesting to ponder.</p>
<p>In infinite space there are possibly endless numbers of universes that have existed, do exist or will exist, with an infinity of time to evolve in. Explaining everything with-"God did it" is feeble. The only answer is I don't know, but there are things i know, things that can be known with absolute certainty that are fact.</p>
<p>Regarding politics two people will disagree about things, seven billion people even more so. I am in a way content with being what I am, but I can never resist having a go at the next guy.</p> The US National Anthemtag:4freedoms.com,2013-09-20:3766518:Topic:1391452013-09-20T18:41:25.180ZAlan Lakehttp://4freedoms.com/profile/AlanLake
<p>The US National Anthem: when I first heard it I thought "you have got to be kidding me" - its way too complicated for a common sing-a-long. But the thing is, people learn and adapt and grow, and in the end, it works. Plus, you have the option of getting skilled singers to do it and make a great melody.</p>

<p>The tune was originally a a popular drinking song this side of the Atlantic before it travelled to the States. It was written by a British composer, John Smith, during the 18th century and first called 'The Anacreontic Hymn'. Hat tip to Magnus for the info. Such a contrast between the complexities of this song and, say, the British national anthem. Here is the Wikipedia info.</p>
<p>_____________________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort McHenry",[1] a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812.</p>
<p>The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. "The Anacreontic Song" (or "To Anacreon in Heaven"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key's poem and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song. With a range of one and a half octaves, it is known for being difficult to sing. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today.<br/> <br/> "The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889, and by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.<br/> <br/> Before 1931, other songs served as the hymns of American officialdom. "Hail, Columbia" served this purpose at official functions for most of the 19th century. "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", whose melody is identical to "God Save the Queen", the British national anthem,[2] also served as a de facto anthem.[3] Following the War of 1812 and subsequent American wars, other songs would emerge to compete for popularity at public events, among them "The Star-Spangled Banner".</p>

<p>O say can you see by the dawn's early light,<br/> What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,<br/> Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,<br/> O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?<br/> And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br/> Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;<br/> O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,<br/> O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br/><br/> On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,<br/> Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,<br/> What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,<br/> As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?<br/> Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,<br/> In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:<br/> 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave<br/> O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br/><br/> And where is that band who so vauntingly swore<br/> That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,<br/> A home and a country, should leave us no more?<br/> Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.<br/> No refuge could save the hireling and slave<br/> From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:<br/> And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,<br/> O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.<br/><br/> O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand<br/> Between their loved home and the war's desolation.<br/> Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land<br/> Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!<br/> Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,<br/> And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."<br/> And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave<br/> O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!</p> The Fall of the British Empire - 3 part documentarytag:4freedoms.com,2013-03-10:3766518:Topic:1203582013-03-10T07:44:02.715ZAlan Lakehttp://4freedoms.com/profile/AlanLake
