OK i'll add to this thread on a personal basis.
I have stashed one months food and water in the house, taken that first week 19/26 th August off work, and i am refusing to move till I am absolutely sure that this is just a 'spook' game.
Reason why? OK before 9-11, at an immigration detention centre here in the UK, there were pictures of Osama Bin laden plastering the walls of all of the Arabic / middle east immigrants. A week before the event, ALL of those pictures were taken down by the detainees themselves, and destroyed. This time, the pictures on the wall were small green flags with arabic writing on them.
They have all been taken down off the walls. By the detainees.
May be nothing, may be some thing, but I for one have no inclination to be caught out in the cold like last time. 9/11 was real bad. This next one if it hits? well.... lets just hope it doesn't.

My buddy is military. I used to do the same thing he does when I was in. He's Army and I was Air Force. Like I said he's been there for a while. I was in Kosovo a few weeks before something went down. I was in Iraq a few years back before they bombed the place for not being cooperative with the UN nuke inspections. We were both in Iraq a few weeks before 9/11. I have a few theories of whats going to happen. Everytime that I was ever in a country on a contingency mission it was because we were going to use force. So my guess is that something is about to go down. Hopefully not but it seems that way. He may be there just for research. Who knows. If you guys got any questions I will try to answer.
Are you and your buddy in the special forces or something? I dont understand if he was in Iran how he wouldnt be captured?

Me and my buddy spent some time with SOCOM in Tampa. I wouldn't consider myself special forces. I am not pushing anything on anyone, all I am doing is letting you know some info. Everyone needs to chill and relax.

United States Special Operations Command
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM or USSOC) is charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Commands (SOC or SOCOM) of each branch of the U.S. military. The command is part of the U.S. Department of Defense. When Special Operations Forces (SOF) of different branches are used for the same operation, USSOCOM acts as the Joint Command Center (JCC) of all the forces used in the operation. USSOCOM is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.
MacDill Air Force Base
MacDill remained a fighter base for almost 30 years, but other changes went on in the background. The B-57s left in 1972, and that same year Strike Command was renamed United States Readiness Command. In 1979, the first F-16 fighters arrived and began to replace the aging F-4s. In 1983, the new Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force was activated, and in 1987 it became U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM. That same year USRC was redesignated U.S. Special Operations Command, or SOCOM.

Careful about calling names, they have a way of biting you in the hind quarters:

Also, why would you announce this on an international message board? Very, very irresponsible! Why would you put your buddy at risk?

You seriously need to get out out more and live in the real world.
do you think if something like a nuclear war happens, a months supply of water and
food will help in anyway?
Get real.
