Someone has to get these “Outlaws” under control. Going around in skirts with no underwear blowing on those pipes. Outrageous I tell you.
That’s the most Balls I’ve seen him exhibit yet. Previously, he’s been a little Milquetoast…
His dad still thinks he’s a punk.
Even though it was referred to as such during WWII the Pacific campaign was extremely difficult. Only after our Iowa Class Battleships pounded the enemies positions for days, did the Marines wade a shore. Once there every inch was fought for, and we lost thousands of brave men. It is not simply a hop skip and a jump.
We go in big, with all our might, or we don’t go at all. We had mobilized every ounce of our national power and were focused razor sharp on survival and the utter destruction of our enemies.
You do not downsize the military and stay the world’s most powerful nation.
War is war and we are forgetting this as humans. Hamas did not give a three hour pause on their attack on Israel. This 
started in Vietnam (which we lost)eased a bit in Grenada, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan (we lost the last two as well and really didn’t win the first two). Who are we to try and tell Israel how to prosecute their war?
IMO-It’s the continuum of war. It’s not about winning it’s about continuing conflict from one to the next. The US has been doing it since Korea. There isn’t going to be a ticker tape parade or a surrender on the USS Missouri.
The US is not a one trick pony. But wait, there’s more in our saddle bag Partners 
How would you like to know right before sedation of a surgery that the doctor is pro Hamas?
Can’t these people leave their politics at home? I guess they’re being overcome with hate.
One more source of stress. I’m slightly more concerned that my doc might be an addict.
Docs do anything to avoid prescribing pain meds or antibiotics, but they have that crystal at home!
do you need a range day?
Always
i dont know where you are but when i go to a range it is Philsons Crossing.
i spent the day, really, in the hospital yesterday with my wife who had a “procedure” done. they could have let me know and i could have come home and cared for a dog instead of the crate i will be cleaning. i just took it out cause…
today i fired a few 5.7x28 reloads that chronoed at, well only one was 1943 FPS but 4 others were almost 1900. (33 gr ballistic tip)
i have some of them and always have 223 and 22 to mag dump.
i have leaves to blow and holes to auger but i am not in a hurry for that so an hour, which turns into two or more in the afternoon is goo with me. tell me about your time constraints. oh, i bet you are one of those guys that goes to work, hahahaha.
just kidding, im retired and broke and broken.
I am a member of the Moss Branch Shooting Range in Anniston, Alabama. I haven’t been to the range since I’ve had rotator cuff and bicep repair. I plan on going to shoot stuff sometime in December shortly after the recovery period. Thanks for asking though.
ok. i wasnt sure you were in SC.
have a blast.
and hey, i appreciate your service. my wife has 4 boys and a girl. her oldest had joined the Army and out of the blue or looking at his academics they asked if he wanted to go to West Point. he did and graduated. he was in tikrit and now he is at the pentagon. another son of hers joined and is one “stripe?” away from Master Seargent. in my opinion he was a real bad*ss in afganistan and iraq.
see ya later.
Back at it…another opinion.
If humans are to progress forward there has to be more than skin deep. We have to go beyond skin color. We have to get beyond the faults of our cultures and our civilizations. Politics and Religions play us all. I’m beginning to think Darwin was right.
I just think Religion for all that it has done we’re being played. Same as politicians. Bunch of cockroaches.
Humans if we’re to progress we have to co exist without killing each other without regard to politics or religion.
Our world is our own. As humans, as a species, we have to use this planet as a launching point to leave and explore.
We have to work together as humans.
BUT…our DNA cousins are monkeys.
Yeah it’s an uphill climb. Keep hope alive.
Man you don’t know how many times that I have looked up and said thank you for seeing another sun rise. So many times that I should have been dead. I honestly don’t know how I am alive other than the Lord looking out for me. Covid is but one example of me cheating death. There are plenty of times out of my own youth, stupidity and ignorance I shouldn’t be alive. Other times it was out of other people’s stupidity and ignorance. When you are young, dumb, 10 feet tall and bulletproof you don’t realize the danger that you place yourself in. In my younger years I was a complete sucker for someone daring me to do something. All that I can honestly say is that I am glad that I finally developed some appreciation for self preservation before God decided that he wasn’t wasting anymore time on saving this idiots life. I think that when my son was born I finally realized that play time was over. I had a whole lot more responsibilities than I had to think about. I had to think about my wife and son. I had more just myself to consider before doing something dangerous.
I grew up in a Christian home and my mom was a teacher in a Christian school that I attended. I had to be in church everytime the doors opened. I saw so many hypocritical people doing things that they knew was wrong but then wanted to lecture me on what they thought I was doing wrong. Of course I rebelled. I was a hellion growing up. I honestly don’t know how my parents kept their sanity. They had way more patience than I would have had.
Over time with age, experience, maturity and talking to relatives that were dying, I began to understand that it isn’t about what others do but what you do yourself. It doesn’t matter what anyone else does you are only responsible for your own actions. When you talk to someone who knows that they don’t have much time left in this world and they are completely at peace with everything it should make you stop and think. I had a long discussion with three people that were extremely close to me before they passed away. My father, an aunt that was a second mother to me and my father in law. They all knew that they were dying. They were more worried about the people that they were leaving behind than they were themselves. All three knew where they were going. In some ways they were looking foward to meeting their maker. When you have something that powerful happen in your life it made me start thinking about everything that I learned growing up. It really changed my life in many ways. I no longer have any fear of death. I am completely at peace with whatever the Lord has planned for me. I don’t yet know why he chose to keep me here. I had about a 2% chance of coming off of the ventilator alive. Out of all the patients that my Pulminologist saw with covid he only had two patients with covid to come off of the ventilator alive. I am one of those two patients. None of my six specialist doctors can explain why I am alive. My Pulminologist calls me his miracle child. He is absolutely right. It is a miracle that I am alive. It is another miracle that I have physically come as far as I have. Nobody thought that I would physically be where I am right now. The only thing that my physical and occupational therapist could say besides my hard work they couldn’t understand how I progressed as quick as I did. I now have many limitations that I didn’t have before. I understand my limitations and I accept them. I am not bitter or mad. Life isn’t always what you think it is going to be. You can make all of the plans for your future that you want to just to have them taken away in a split second.
I don’t lecture people or judge people. It isn’t my place to do so. All that I can do is to tell my experiences and give my thoughts on them. I have learned to let go of all of the resentment that I had growing up. It didn’t do me any good to keep harboring things and resentments over things in the past.
I wish that I could have a few more days with my family members that are gone. Thanksgiving is bittersweet to me. When I look at all of the empty chairs at the Thanksgiving table that used to have family members in them it makes you a little sad. There isn’t many of my family members on either side of my family left. The only thing that gives me peace is knowing that one day I will see them again. I know about their faith and knowledge that they knew where they were going. I have the same faith.
The last thing that anyone should do when they are trying to change someone’s mind or explain a belief is to lecture or talk down to someone. When you do that all you succeed in doing is driving them farther away from the idea or believe that you are trying to talk to them about. I was also lucky that my parents really backed off when I joined the military right out of high school. They recognized that I was a young adult and that I had to learn many life lessons the hard way. My parents didn’t lecture me but would give me wise advise when I was smart enough to ask them for advice.
Ok, I really am a private person which is why I don’t do social media. I have said a lot more than I intended to . I know that there are a lot of really good people on this forum. I don’t mind opening up a little and sharing some of my life experiences. I don’t know if my experiences will help anyone but I really hope that it does.
Dude you and your wall of text. I’ve a 13 inch laptop and those chit chats of yours fill up the whole screen.
Appreciate the small talk. The things we learn in life and still I am grateful to be here.
Glad you enjoyed it. 
Short enough 4 u?
I get it. I was 18 when my dad told me to pack my bags and get out by by 8 AM. Took several years to repair that relational damage (maybe most of my adult life) but I love him dearly today.
