At least I have a frame of reference and a rather extensive circle of retiree associates of various ranks and grades, with which I regularly discuss the state of the military establishment. I keep asking you for your professional credentials that allow you to make your allegations. They are...
I am indeed sorry that your "22 years in boots" left you with such a bad taste in your mouth! Speaking of my "career", I served with some of the finest, honest and professional officers, staff noncommissioned officers and enlisted that walked God's green earth. Were there duds? Of course there...
I don't normally agree with your positions and comments. That said, you comment is correct. As a USMC retiree, I know that there are both sides of the coin out there in the flag officer ranks retired and active duty. While the military community leans to the conservative side, there are any...
I have accumulated 12 M1 carbines over the years, at least one of every manufacturer. I follow the forums concerning the carbine on a regular basis. Depending on the manufacturer, condition and originality of parts, the prices can run from about $1200 to $2000 (and up) on non imported rifles...
Super congratulations to your Son! An achievement that few can really relate to! 23 years active duty here.... Temper your thoughts of the knife gift with the thought that "if the Marine Corps wanted him to have a knife, they would issue him one." :cool: While a K-bar is great thought, I...
I said he was a tragic, minor actor not a victim. IndyDave 1776 adequately answered the Princess Di question. I believe she (Di) was a victim; heck, Charles only married her for the cosmetics. She didn't go bat sh*t until later. Megan is (in my humble opinion) already bat sh*t nuts and I...
My take - for what it's worth.... Harry is a just a tragic, minor actor in this whole drama. Young, single, titled and RICH - a ripe target for a petty, conniving and EVIL second rate actress. She sunk her hooks into him, knowing full well what lay in store and the benefits SHE could get out...
I firmly support and believe in the Second Amendment! I have followed the progress of this Bill. I wonder, however, how moving to an Indiana Constitutional carry will effect the reciprocity agreements that other non Constitutional carry states have with Indiana. I suspect that those states...
SOLD. No frills nor bell nor whistles! Just a plain vanilla Springfield Armory M1. Designed as a war tool, used as a war tool and looks like a war tool (nothing pretty about this rifle). Serial number 3,363,xxx. Receiver production date 01/45; barrel production date 12/44; MOST...
SOLD. Not a lot to see here. Bulgarian Makarov (9x18 Mak). Shot some. No problems. Has been my "under the desk go to". Better than average finish but still a bit old and used. 1 magazine (with 7 self-defense rounds). Indy westside. Willing to meet within reasonable distance from...
Great letter! Thanks for posting! Contrast your letter with the picture of "our" Colt's coach kneeling prior to getting his A$$ handed to him yesterday. I have watched my last NFL game!
