Remember people flipping me off when I'd wear my Dress Blues on leave.
Don't forget to thank John Kerry and Hanoi Jane....wouldn't have happened in my neck of the woods, the kids would have chipped in their pop bottle money to buy you a beer.

Is the gatling gun still military issue? ~ samadams2000
Yep, but it has been modified a bit and usually comes with an aircraft attached? ~ Smokin' Joe
Or a ship...
To: Shooter 2.5; armyboy
Actually, I doubt that the Marine snipers are using ball ammo in their work with the .50 caliber.
They're probably using the 750 grain match ammo if it's available.
To: Hat-Trick
In negotiations aimed at ending the standoff in the city, the insurgents have demanded that the Marines pull back their snipers. And how exactly have the killers come to be in a position to demand anything?
To: Hun in the sun
No offense, HunWell frankly Mr. Hun I have found most of your comments and diatribe quite offensive. Your attacks on Polybius and his profession were quite uncalled for.
Your apparent view of American soldiers is deplorable. Their honor and dedication for the work they do, as difficult and gut wrenching as it is, is obviously beyond your comprehension. The freedom they hold so dear is obviously lost on you. It would appear that the sacrifice that is all to often required for freedom to continue is something that would be too great for you. You strike me as one that would cower and wait for someone (a soldier?) to come save you. Your behavior, and your words here, are shameful.

To: taxcontrol
Personally, I would drop back to the tactics the Vietcong used. Wound a guy, leave him screaming, and then when his buddies come....... Now that's funny.
At last reports, Red Crescent ambulances seen headed towards some dead sandmaggots stopped, picked up the weapons and left the bodies to rot.
So, no; that tactic won't work.
To: Hun in the sun
The ovens were under GERMAN CONTROL. Not the natives of the other countries.

You'll come charging through our killzones full speed and standing tall? I'd love to see it. More likely you'll just strap more plastique to your toddlers, but you were going to be doing that anyway.
I'm liking this story even more than I do the ones about the Spectre gunships.

Oh, to be just twenty years younger! LOL

For a relative newcomer you seem to have quite a mouth on you.
Perhaps it might help you to know that I dismiss
all attempts at posting by anyone who would "remind" everyone else of their duties.
This seems to be one of the basic sandmaggot failings, so your moralizing is pretty much worth zero.
Try it on the other sandmaggots. Preferably in person. Please.
To: Hun in the sun
....this means... by my Eurowheenie logic.... ...that Americans are barbarians? A moralizing kraut? How quaint! You may consider us barbarians, by all means, as soon as we order the first set of ovens from who was it again? Siemens? Krups? Help me out here
To: Hun in the sun
The ovens didn`t burn in Germany... they burnt abroad. Auschwitz is in Poland. Great point but deflecting attention to the Poles is a big mistake, Fritz.
It just confirms that the German Superman didn't have the balls to accept clear responsibility for his inhumanity.
Have a nice evening. This last bit of reaching is too much to stomach even from an inconsenquential ex-superman.
To: Hun in the sun
LOLOLOL...oh you europeans...you are so funny. Kepp looking done on us, that's the only thing that makes you feel good. If one would look back on one's country's history, tell me again is a barbarian??? Hope you don't vote another hilter into power since your economy is going down the tank...course if you do, us barbarians will just nuke you and not have a American soldier step foot in your pious country. Have you ever wonder if the second atom bomb was really meant for Germany???

To: CHICAGOFARMER
Some wide open ranges sure would be nice. All we have right now is a 200 yard range. Although the city is being donated some land for a new police range we'll only be able to shoot 300 yards I hear. I was pushing for 500 but my luck ran out.
Prairie dogs, I bet that's quite a challege. Probably get good at adjusting for wind.
To: FreedomPoster
Thank you.
Since I got on the PD years later now I get to lock them up hahahaha.
To: Cap'n Crunch
BUMP!
