  1. In simplest terms, a mercenary is an armed civilian paid to do military operations in a foreign conflict zone. For example, civilians conducting direct actions or training troops in foreign conflict zones are mercenaries because they are performing uniquely military functions. https://ndupress.ndu.edu/Media/News/Article/2031922/mercenaries-and-war-understanding-private-armies-today/
  2. So why would a mercenary group need to engage this profession. Please enlighten me whether from either side.
  3. I see the Mozart group are advertising jobs for disinformation experts. https://www.themozartgroup.com/join/
  4. You spend all that money on a wall,i wonder if the gate was shut.
  5. Hi KS It's been a couple of weeks since your post. Can you keep an eye on that plot and let us know if the weeds have started to green up again. My sunn hemp is nearing harvest and thinking about using that chemical as a dessicate to even the harvesting time up with what looks like another wet month ahead on the long range forecast. We just had our wettest july since i've been keeping records back to 2004.
  6. I think the Americans are selling themselves short. In this day and age when the west and east are running around the world drumming up support to their causes. Arms dealers would be at the top of the employment pile.
  7. I'm a glass half full. Is the grain deal for transporting out of Odessa or by canal down the river?
  8. I grew up on sand greens so doesn't bother me to much and an afternoon golfer. A lot depends on if the army guy in charge here at the time is a golfer or not. Our course being located on a hard claypan makes it difficult to establish a good grass covering unless you flood it to death and they don't have a nursery for grass replacement on the greens and tees. My bugbear has always been the uneven tee boxes.Sometimes they are like 2nd cut rough. There is a lot to be said about astro turf in these situations. Still it's close to home,a good layout and fun for a game of skins with mates. A few beers are required if you get stuck behind the mayor and his 10 ball group.
  9. Sometimes they are stuck in their ways. When i started playing here the caddies did all the work on the course barr a couple of army guys cutting the greens and fairways,greens were hand watered every morning by the caddies and fairways flooded by pumps. Didn't make for early morning starts. Since every green had a hose under pressure of a pump they could have used a copper rod with water to aerate the greens,i did suggest it but fell on deaf ears. With most of the greens here being postage stamp in size i guess the sand helps to stick the ball on the greens more than improving the green itself.
  10. Do they have a coring machine? My little army course only got a proper mower 2 years a go.
