The military is looking at going back to the .30 round. In an urban setting it takes just too many rounds to put down "bad guy". In town I would prefere a 10ga with #0 buck shot. You have to do what you can with what they give you. My M16 in basic was old and it sucked. It was a " Colt" serial...

It is not only the military that treats it's "vets" bad. I did overf 17 years at one of those 3 letters agencies that ends in an "A". That was after 3 years in the Army Security Agency. Just as most other that did my job I have profound hearing loss. The agency that I worked for does not...

I am not a big fan of the M16 and do not like the round. I prefere a heavier caliber like the .30. Better energy retention down range. The M16 is VERy iffy at 500 yards except in the hands of an expert and then only under perfect conditions. The bullet is too light and is pushed way to far by...

Very true, duck tape rules!!!! Layoutshooter

Even though Lincoln was wrong the South did screw up. They should have never made thier stand on States rights on the issue of slavery. In the movie "Gettysburg" there is a line attributed to Gen Longstreet. He said that the South should have freed the slave and then fired on Ft. Sumpter. I...

That is because it is a "Left Wing" country is doing the attacked. The entire world is headed that way. Freedom is a bad thing. Just wait until you see what happens when the left makes it's final push here. Comming soon. Layoutshooter

I agree, Lincoln was wrong. I have said that many times in here. I just said how different things would have been had Booth struck oil. Layoutshooter

I could do my old job again, don't know if I want to though. They still refuse to recognize the hearing loss that I and most everyone who did my job suffers from. They(the Dems) treated us like dirt after the Fall of the Wall. We were just a liability, a large pension pool that would need paid...

Glad to hear that you are on the mend, hope all continues in the right direction. Layoutshooter

I am for outlawing insurance, watch the price for medical drop then. Get the government out of it too, they account for as much as 30% of the cost of medical treatment, at least according to some groups who look into these things. Layoutshooter

I am not opposed to a draft, under certian conditions. 1. It has to be universal, male and female, rich and poor, EVERYONE does two years. 2. It does not have to all be in the military. I do believe that not everyone is either fit for the military or belive in it. They can serve in other...

The ONLY reason the recruters are having a problem is do to the multiple LIES that the news keeps blasting at us. Just like the lie I heard about Viet Nam, echoed here about the Georgia thing, it is an internal affair or a civil war etc. The Soviet Union was behind the North Koreans, the North...

I have a HSA account with BC-BS. It is not overly expensive and covers most everything after the deducable. I bank the difference between the preimums of a traditional policy and the HSA. 100% of the preimiums AND the savings come out of my taxable income and lower my tax burden. The interest...

Good luck my friend. I can keep you in my prayers, sorry I can't do more. Layoutshooter

I said I had mixed feelings. The area WAS independent many many moons ago. I still think we should beef up our military, BIG TIME, it may be too late if we wait the the fertilizer hits the spinning blades. Too bad you can't sit down with some of your countrymen who are about my age and worked...

I don't know what to say. I have said all along that Russia will return to it's old self. We should have NEVER down-sized our military after the Berlin wall fell. I have NEVER seen a "bear" to into a "bunny rabbit". While I wish we could stay out of everything we must keep one fact in the back...

We will look into taking some pictures tomorrow. Layoutshooter

LOL, not a problem, the name does kinda lend itself to jokes. Layoutshooter

HEY!!! We could play the "Too Fat Polka" while we nuke this bum!!!! Layoutshooter
