Any of you ever live in a war zone?
« on: November 02, 2019, 01:32:46 PM »
How does it work? Do you still have currency, a job, transportation or does the place just collapse? I heard some jets fly over the other day and began to ponder this.

They pay big bucks to do contractor security work in these Muslim hell holes. The only problem is when they come for you it will be in greater numbers than your security man power or with a vehicle bomb.  I know a guy that did and he made a mint for a short civilian deployment.  He was a Army vet and worked as a State Trooper. Retired from the State Police and did that work for awhile. Lucky for him he got back uninjured.

You should ask him to post utter fabrications on Getbig and make vague references to Heraclitus being right in order to appear legit.

Yes, the lily-white mountains of NH where I live, just awfully dangerous, brutally filled with leave-peepers this time of year, and the roads get wet leaves on them making things terribly dangerous!
And like SF mentioned, I do "battle with the iron", "going to war with my inner-self", "killing shit" in the gym!!!

Just a crazy war-zone...

More or less what I was asking. Thinking about the folks in Germany and France during the world wars and at what point does it just completely shut down due to the bombing and fighting.

I think if you are in a dictatorship its different. when I was in iran there were signs by checkpoints saying stop or we will shoot you. I got detained for 30 minutes by secret police and in the end I said either let me go or I want to speak to the embassy. they let me go. I had been near where Ranfansjani was speaking. In egypt when they had the Islamic insurgency, I was more scared of the police than the terrorists, if something kicked off i think they would have sprayed anything that moved. For example outside the main TV and radio offices they had BTPs and guys with RPGs, eventhough the traffic infront was always slow moving.

I lived in Munich, Germany in 1949. Since I was only 5 years old, I don't remember what the city looked like, but it was bombed during the war. I lived in a suburb with my aunt and uncle (who was a diplomat) and everything seemed fine to me there. Ah, the innocence of childhood.

The murder rate where I live is equivalent to a war zone.
