Professional was Leon in the US.
As for HEAT... I would have cut everything right before the huge gun battle in LA.
Sure it was cool to watch, but it totaly ruined the movie.

Ronin was quite good...
Reno plays a very nice prequal to his role in the Professional.
Get Graphic Converter-- its a classic little app for doing just that.

Next you're gonna say Regan ended the cold war- There was one thing responsible for the collapse of the cold war above all others, and that was Gorbechev.

Of course, that's exactly what carrier are for- Imperialism missions (Iraq being a prime example).
Let's try a different line of logic- why would you want to keep a carrier group arond when you could just as easily replace them with Corsair groups and drones?
Heh, it wasn't top-secert, that's why the Americans could copy it to begin with.
As for that line about "running the Soviet economy into the ground" that's not true at all.
Prove it.
The MiG 41 built ten years ago was the precurser to the F22. Yanks coppied the design and then improved upon its stealth abilities and avionics.
The point of course is that if the Russians were...
And now for the point by point:
Yes they can, but really... they don't need too.
Actaully, unmanned drones, such as the Gobal Hawk have some of the most impressive ranges in the US...
A note on the much vaunted "Phalanx" defense system:
M61A1 Gatling gun mounts fires at 4,500 rpm with an ammo belt of 1500 rounds. That's 75 rounds a second. Count it with me now, that's 20...

The point is not who the US fights, it's *how* the US fights. It can fight in a manner which is both costly and dangerous to its soldiers/pilots/seamen, or it can fight in a manner safe to those...
You see exaclty what I'm talking about- for some reason people just can't grasp the reality of waht we're dealing with here. The future of combat, and everyone is still tlaking about fighters and...
Compared to the Corsair project being undertaken by the United States and other countries, which is meant to produce hundreds of small carrier craft with crews of about 20, each capable of loading...
You do realise that the much vaunted "Carrier Group" is actaully both totaly obsolete and totaly vunerable to modern weapons? Thus, its hardly a good measure of "military might".
By the way Fleet... I've noticed how often you're getting shut down... shall we say... OWNED, and it's not a very good record on your part. Might be smart to research or actaully look things up a...
That's bullshit. The Clinton military deliverd Afghanistan- and did a bang up professional job utalising the most modern of weapons. Iraq has been the huge ****up since the start, and not only that...
So you're saying you want to revert everything to the way it was in 1825? You *do* realise that you are living in a socialist state (or at least a state with some strong elements of socialism)?...
I went to New York City for a week. :- P
This is my point- no it wouldn't have, since no matter how many bombers the Germans put into the air, or could have put into the air, they simply did not have enough fighters to defend them.
Enough of this bullshit.
*You* go read Hart, AJP Taylor, Shirer, et all, then we'll talk. I read your godammed links the first time. I can assure you that I'm not assuming a single godammed thing....

Becuase you're talking about 3000 vs 500 (700) when of those 3000 only 600 or so can actaully engage in combat. It makes no sense to include bombers in the battle, when it was the purpose of the...
