I’m surprised more terrorists don’t do this.
Remember the DC snipers from a few years back?
More than a few, and that’s the only example I can remember.
The most dangerous weapon on Earth is a motivated and skilled man with a rifle.

I don’t blame him — the sadistic yankees brought it on themselves. They used terroristic tactics on southerners and it literally came back to bite them 100-fold.
Speaking of NBF, his magnificent equestrian monument at the former (renamed to “health sciences park’ as an act of banal nonsense) are NBF park where NBF lies was removed in the middle of the night and sent to an “undisclosed location’. Another outrageous act of disrespect toward a great military general, tactician, and lawfully protected veteran.
There is an excellent book about Jack Hinson’s life and time as a sniper: “Jack Hinson’s One Man War”, Author Tom McKenney.
McKenny also has a picture in the book of Hinson’s rifle, which has been passed down to various family members since the Civil War.
“There the corpses were paraded around the Dover courthouse square as an example of the Union’s zero-tolerance policy toward resistance.”
Those thousands of Southern civilians killed by Union troops are left out of the casualty count.
Once a district was occupied, the death penalty was announced for anyone aiding Southern soldiers. One of the Federals’ favorite tricks was to send a soldier or two to a house posing as Confederates and asking for food. If they were given food by the inhabitants, Union troops would appear, take them out, and shoot them.
Under the conditions that existed I would have done the same thing. But the war has been over for 153 years. Time for some of you to let it go.
Amazing.
Trickery? In war? Gee, you'd think they wanted to win or something.
“Trickery? In war? Gee, you’d think they wanted to win or something.”
Targeting civilians, and in this case, farmers, is considered war crimes and prohibited by Geneva conventions.
Well, then, I guess Geneva should have come on over and put it to a stop!
Yes the Geneva convention which was first issued in 1864 only covered removal of the injured soldiers to medical aid at that time. The thing you speak of wasn’t part of a Hague protocol until many decades later.
Need to have him come back and nest outside Congress.
Google Sepp Allerberger
Scotts-Irish, if you piss them off enough, will hold a grudge for generations. And act on it.
If they Impeach Trump...
Thanks, I didn’t know the site you referenced existed. Very interesting.
Bump. My kinda guy.
