"Red Dawn." I just watched that most excellent movie about five times over the weekend and Monday night. There are at least a thousand lessons to be learned in that flick.

Remember the radio which Mr. Mason gave to the Wolverines? Anti-EMP, wrapped in plastic and inside a metal pound-cake tin.

"That this nation shall not perish from the earth."

Red Dawn was full of good valid tactical doctrine for any guerilla force: Small unit raids and ambush operations, as well as sniping and sabotage. But they also ably demonstrated the difficulty of using conventional forces to engage guerillas in both directions.

Remember when they were trying to get the Colonel (Powers Boothe IIRC) back across the front lines and saw the combined arms combat between air and tank forces and got caught by a pair of soviet tanks? They got away, barely and still managed to lose the Colonel and one of their own. The lesson is only engage when you are fairly assured of victory or escape and the terrain favors you. That's why the sniper is so feared on the modern battlefield. A single man, correctly armed and capable with his weapon can stop an entire army in it's tracks.

You think the globalists and RATS who are after our guns really care about handguns, shotguns or even "assault weapons?" They want that "sporting use rifle!" That's why this crappola with J. Effin' KERRY making photo ops with a skeet gun in his hands and mewling about hunting as a boy for deer and other game rings so false. His mantra is I support hunting as the 2nd Amendment right is just so dang transparent and fraudulent! But so many of the traditionally conservative Bubba'CRATS will fall for it, because they want to believe him.

Whoever wrote it was brilliant, but instead of Russians and Cubans...we have ME and God knows who else. That was the scariest movie I have seen in this life!
