Emery's portrayal of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman basically created an entire industry in which he was the only product.

Look at the number of gigs he got after Full Metal Jacket... Now look at how many of them are for characters who are sergeants, colonels, generals, or other military style roles where he just basically reprises his gig as Sgt. Hartman. The number of cameos he's done is huge.

I see they're mostly adhering to the Colonel's secret recipe:
1) Chicken
2) Salt
3) Grease

Wow so I'm not the only person that played Wheel of Time! Balefire em into oblivion!
Perhaps more types of games would be better as FPS bosses can't be made that difficult. But even the most complicated game boss there is always going to be a vid on youtube showing how to glitch kill it in 10 seconds. Spoils the fun I reckon.

The games shown and bosses killed are:

Quake II - Makron
Red Faction - Colonel Masako
Jedi Outcast - Desann
Jedi Academy - Marka Ragnos
Deus Ex - Walton Simons
Deus Ex: Invisible War - J.C. Denton
Blood 2: The Chosen - The Ancient One
No One Lives Forever - Tom Goodman
No One Lives Forever 2 - Super Soldier Lieutenant
Aliens vs Predator 2 - General Rykov
F.E.A.R. - Alma
Hitman 2 - Sergei Zavrotko
Command & Conquer: Renegade - Dr. Petrova
Far Cry - Dr. Krieger
Wheel of Time - Ishamael
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi - Malachi
Iron Storm - Consortium Officer
Bet on Soldier - Max Balding
Jurassic Park: Trespasser - Alpha Raptor
Kill.Switch - Archer
Klingon Honor Guard - Korek
Thief: Deadly Shadows - Gamall

You're going on special assignment to get al-qaida scalps, and your colonel wants his scalps!

1983 incident

Stanislav Petrov, an Air Defence lieutenant colonel, was the officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow on September 26, 1983.[4] Petrov's responsibilities included observing the satellite early warning network and notifying his superiors of any impending nuclear missile attack against the Soviet Union. If notification was received from the early-warning systems that inbound missiles had been detected, the Soviet Union's strategy was an immediate nuclear counter-attack against the United States (launch on warning), specified in the doctrine of mutual assured destruction.[1]

Shortly after midnight, the bunker's computers reported that an intercontinental ballistic missile was heading toward the Soviet Union from the US.[5] Petrov considered the detection a computer error, since a United States first-strike nuclear attack would be likely to involve hundreds of simultaneous missile launches, in order to disable any Soviet means for a counterattack. Furthermore, the satellite system's reliability had been questioned in the past.[6] Petrov dismissed the warning as a false alarm, though accounts of the event differ as to whether he notified his superiors[7] or not[5] after he concluded that the computer detections were false and that no missile had been launched. Later, the computers identified four additional missiles in the air, all directed towards the Soviet Union. Petrov again suspected that the computer system was malfunctioning, despite having no other source of information to confirm his suspicions. The Soviet Union's land radar was incapable of detecting missiles beyond the horizon, and waiting for it to positively identify the threat would limit the Soviet Union's response time to minutes.
Had Petrov reported incoming American missiles, his superiors might have launched an assault against the United States, precipitating a corresponding nuclear response from the United States. Petrov declared the system's indications a false alarm. Later, it was apparent that he was right: no missiles were approaching and the computer detection system was malfunctioning. It was subsequently determined that the false alarms had been created by a rare alignment of sunlight on high-altitude clouds and the satellites' Molniya orbits, an error later corrected with cross-reference to a geostationary satellite.[8]

Petrov later indicated the influences in this decision included: that he had been told a US strike would be all-out, so that five missiles seemed an illogical start;[1] that the launch detection system was new and, in his view, not yet wholly trustworthy;[citation needed] and that ground radars were still failing to pick up any corroborative evidence, even after minutes of delay.[citation needed]

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

^I'm glad to hear it. I have about 5 episodes to go. I have to say, melodrama aside - there are some pretty good actors in this show.

Colonel Tigh is very good and I've liked Edward James Almos since Stand and Deliver.

Rosalyn's little facial ticks bug the hell out of me - and she uses the business of taking off her glasses and putting them back on waaay too much.

I've found Apollo to be kind of a milquetoast pretty boy - but Baltar has had great pathos.

Air Force Probes Colonel..

Colonel Klink, Sgt. Schultz, General Burkhalter, and I think Major Hochstetter were all Jewish.

^ You're right on your first point, but you missed your second one by about three lightyears.
We're talking about officers of a company/battery and the 130 or so men they command. Not the Generals and Colonels who command entire brigades/Divisions.
To put it simply: You are the enlisted man and your immediate supervisor would be the officer we're talking about. You're talking about the owner of the company being the officer.
NordlichReiter's historic anecdote is very true. When I had command over Marines I found it difficult at times to make even simple choices about who would do something like take out the trash. I always wanted to send the people I wasn't friends with, but I knew that it was my duty to assign duties fairly, even if that meant pissing my friends off by telling them they had to take the trash out.

I know what you're referring to, and I think you misunderstood NordlichReiter's intent. He was saying that the best leaders have been ones that considered themselves part of the team, something that doesn't happen very much in the US.

But when you think of it the military analogy fits corporate life. Generals are CEOs, employees are their troops. And if you look at it that way, the detachment of a General and their troops can equate to that of a CEO and their employees, where as a General may have to sacrifice lives, a CEO can be in a situation to sacrifice jobs. Something far more difficult to do if you know the people facing the chopping block.

I was middle management at my old job and like you was friends with some of my team. Unlike you though, I didn't have any difficulty assigning work equally to my staff. And when times got tough, I did everything I could to keep everyone on spreading the workload as thin as I could, rather than terminating anyone because I knew how devastating it could be for them. In the end I took the hit and lost my job, but all my employees continue to work. My boss on the other hand, was only looking at the bottom line and didn't care who lost their job.

The real question Nordic is, did anyone actually expect to see any?...

That crowd is pretty much a reflection of what i always imagined... except younger somehow...

I always kind of pictured a bunch of colonel sanders look alikes in the audience...

>> ^ponceleon:
I always knew Colonel Sanders was up to no good.

With his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face that says "ooohhhh, you're gonna buy my chicken. oohhhhh."

I always knew Colonel Sanders was up to no good.
