I know this doesn't have anything to do with our trucks, but I'm driving daylight hours with my lights on until China lets our guys go.

 

Good idea! I'll join in too. Hopefully they will be released soon - safe & unharmed.

Love my truck & PROUD of it! If you can't beat 'em, you're NOT driving a FORD!

Those Chinesse! I tell you what, this whole ordeal with our airmen is really ticking me off!! I'm 100% sure if the tables were turned that we would have sent there airmen back by now. With all the foriegn aid we give them and also allowing them into NAFTA they should 've returned them days ago.. And also OUR aircraft. Yes I do feel sad for the loss of the pilot, but anybody that knows anything about aircraft knows that a "P3" is not a very manuverable airplane, and I just can't see that this whole thing is our fault. I'm sure everybody out there agrees when I say this that ALL of OUR PRAYERS are with them {the crew} until they are returned home safely! Just my opinon.. Thank You.

P.S. I too will start driving with my headlight on for the return of our airmen/women.

It definately wasnt our fault. Their idiot fighter pilots were toying with our plane and brushed the nose of ours, sending the chinese fighter down. We were even in international airspace! You gotta love those commies.

 

I agree, pretty evident that a big plane like that wasn't responsible, that fighter jock was messing around trying to intimidate them and screwed up.

I think China is just trying to accomplish two things, leverage on the Taiwan issues and stalling so they can examine the equipment on board a little closer (BUT THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION). Their technology isn't close to be as good as ours. Their armies may have large raw numbers, but that's it. Antiquated garbage that can't compare with our sofisticated equipment.

My lights are on.

It wasn't our fault we had every right to fly our plane where we were there pilot screwed up and from what I heard on the news he was a hot dog pilot. Now what we need to do is start bombing them until we get our men back alive and well along with the plane.

 

Now lets see if the Bush/Powell combination will have a little guts to throttle on those Chineese. Personally, I think we should stop screwing around and give a deadline. If they make the deadline, fine. If not, shut off all shipments of imported little sneaky Chineese garbage that they rely on us Americans buying to keep them alive. An agressive act would be out of the question as too many "peace lovers" would start..... Oh forget it.. I'm spewing again!!. Lets just get them back.
If its made in China, think twice!!!!

I will not order my usual Chinese food (sweet & sour chicken) until our boys (and girls?) are returned. And I will drive past all Chinese restuarants with my brights on!
