Yes, operate combined arms. But arty and attack helicopters may have priorities elsewhere with other units.

Some thoughts: - Excellent idea. More machine gun power has come full circle to WWII. Then operational survey groups (OSG) went to commands and soldiers in the field to gather lessons learned and ideas to make things better. Gen. Patton reflected his tankers thoughts by simply telling the OSG...

Yes, they paled in comparison because political beliefs took no part in the diagnosis and treatment. I just caution about that aspect entering into it today.

To a point, but we can't fall in to the mental illness trap. In case we haven't noticed, mental health has become the cause du jour for years now and has been a key player in legal policies, schools, and law enforcement. There was/is a country that carried the mental illness stuff to its...

Yup. The Brits loved that 303.

Unsung indeed. One of the best movies about action in the Pacific was The Great Raid. The release was delayed for some unfathomable reason having something to do about GWOT or some such. This basically screwed up the marketing and advertising campaign so it didn't get wide play. The Alamo...

Good advice, thanks.

Agree especially about Stihl. I managed to repair the trimmer and it's functioning OK, but yes, two years is about the limit. I bought a Stihl chainsaw and it is marginally better than my 12 year old Echo. When it says on the chart "for occasional use" believe it. My current frustration is...

I would only add that the Stryker was pitched as an interim vehicle until the Future Combat System was fielded which never happened. As is the case, rather than being viewed as temporary, the Stryker took on a life of its own with no discernible advantage over the M113A3 unless you count that...

Where to start: I was a gunnery OIC for the M3 Follow on Test and Evaluation at Ft. Knox and I was on an M3A2 in the Gulf War so I have some observations. - I'd like to know the source for Bradleys killing more enemy tanks the the Abrams. One cannot shoot while moving with a TOW missile and...

French Paratroopers in Indochina loved the carbine also.

Actually, corps level command was: VII Corps - Kelley Barracks, Stuttgart V Corps - Abrams Bldg. , Frankfurt Am Main 7th Army was dual hatted. The commander was also the Deputy USAREUR commander. If war came, commander of USAREUR, a four star, would be the Central Army Group (CENTAG)...

Was 16 and we watched in a cabin on a lake about 60 miles south of the BC border. The TV was a BW with rabbit ears with tin foil wrapped around the tips. It worked though.

Here is a short video also debunking moon landing conspiracy theories.

This may have already been posted, but I just picked up on the morning briefing with Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd. It's a great way to start your day. Here is today's briefing:

Seems like everything is doomed, a deathtrap, or otherwise ineffective. Until it isn't. Oh, I forgot, we won the war.

And Hollywood.

I agree with Paul Mauro who was on Gutfeld the other night. He was a top ranked NYC cop and a lawyer. He said Bondi got in over her skis on making pronouncements on releasing the list months ago. Having spent time in the Imperial City, the higher ups need to get in front of the game no matter...

Same litany of excuses I hear from some of my students for bad behavior.

Red Storm Rising was an out of Jack Ryan universe story but well worth the read rather than Hackett's The Third World War. Clancy sure nailed the importance of Iceland.
