Does a President with military background really make a better Commander and Chief?

November 16th, 2010 by eranio

Did you know President Eisenhower sent the first troops into Vietnam?

Roosevelt didn’t have any and when France fell and England came under siege in 1940, he began to send Great Britain all possible aid short of actual military involvement.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation’s manpower and resources for global war.

Clinton didn’t have a military background. He successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia and bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.

How do you get into being a weapons technician/ weapons adviser behind the scenes of a big hit movie?

February 14th, 2010 by eranio

I was watching the bonus stuff on Assault on Precinct 13, and saw the bloke in the van with the M4′s, and P226′s, and thought wow this is my kind of job. But I haven’t got the slightest idea how to get into that line of work. I know a lot about the military, and firearms, etc, so I think this would be a good job for me. I live in England. Please, HELP!
