When I was in the Navy in the 80's, I was stationed on Okinawa for 3 tours. I took an umbrella with a wooden shaft and replaced the wood with a brass rod. I tapped a small screw into the shaft below the handle and put a loop on the mechanism to keep it closed. There was a rubber tip on it...
Plaque on the lawn outside the USO on Camp Butler in Okinawa stating it was the site where a BG Simon Bolivar Buckner got killed.
I'd like to have some of the people making comments here declare if they served, or just protested against the people who protect their freedoms.
But then again...
Say what you will, but no matter how "modern & evolved" we become, we are still not smart enough to learn the lessons of the past. Human nature, and all the key factors that led to the survival of the species, can't just be thrown away because an idealist had a dream. Granted, it was a noble...
Isn't being dressed up in a pseudo-cop uniform in a target location the same as being "bait." How much actual tactical training does a security guard get?
:deadhorse:
You do what you train.
If you don't train, you have no business with a weapon.
And training isn't an occasional thing. It has to be regular and consistent.
Just like the platform you carry.
I kind of like the libertarian perspective on life.
Let them do what they want...
If the Mexicans can build a desalination plant, why can't the commie californians? Don't they import the water for LA from the Colorado river anyway?
I spent time in San Diego in the Navy, and have family in the bay area. If it wasn't for the people, it would be a great place. They have some...
So, is it North or South of Barrett Pkwy?
I won't go to the one closest in to the square after a dirtbag security guard there almost got himself hurt one day.
Quit letting these liberals train your children to be victims, and it won't happen as much. I got raised in the old west (near Dodge City) in a town of 250 people. :rip: If a guy was a sissy, he got picked on. If he couldn't handle it, he toughened up and fought back or suffered in silence...
I got chewed out by a teacher for sharpening a pencil with a "Barlow." She thought I was going to make a mess.
Shop teacher made a beautiful kentucky long rifle flintlock in the shop. Even browned the barrel. We all got to shoot it on the football field.
Everybody had a shotgun, a 22 or...
Crusades aren't finished in a decade. Especially when the crusader isn't tied to traditional religious values.
30 years ago, they were saying that WWIII would be a desert scenario.
Mount up girls, get ready for the ride of the millenium.
I got robbed once in the 7-11 in the 80's, it isn't...
Anywhere the Navy goes, the commies go fishin'. Didn't you guys know that?
As for the race issues, how can some of you guys live with all the pent up hatred?
You know you got issues, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to justify it through religion and politics.
Might stop the next guy. Maybe if his family had a tragic accident others would be deterred as well.
Of course he may have been made, and fed inaccurate dope.
