I'm not sure what the time period was or where you saw this, but the Combat Infantrymen's Badge was awarded for being in direct combat with an infantry or SF MOS with the rank of COL or below in a unit of brigade/regiment or smaller. There was no 3 month time period. There were a lot of sour...

And a lot of those commies are in the National Capital Region.

VE Day was not the end of WWII.

Not quite. That would be Sept. 2, 1945.

April 1926 Route 66 was officially designated from Chicago to Santa Monica. Many events are happening this year. https://www.route66centennial.org/ Also, to help the mood: Good times gone by.

In the day, our cav squadron was essentially a Div 86 TOE which had both ground and air cav troops. Our aeroscouts had the OH-58C. Our pilots (a few of them VN vets) by far preferred the OH-6 and variants over the Kiowa.

I just love those old Soviet "photos." Half real, half charcoal drawings of people who didn't exist, or who did exist but were easily erased from memory.

I have Verizon but have not experienced this. I have, however, experienced the "issues" message from several other companies and it's really frustrating. I usually wait for them to solve their problem then submit payment.

No front sight so they could fit the barrel extension.

All of this boils down to one thing. If it passes, will local law enforcement pitch in to do the confiscation, which means going door to door. If not, this is all academic.

I agree.

The only state where reverse discrimination was fashionable before the current woke mess in the lower 48. Pay, promotion, and just general nastiness were their tools of choice. Back then there was an indoor gun range in the mall next to Hilton Hawaiian Village (I think). It was like going to...

Sorry, but Trump's actions in 2018 have no bearing on the fact that I and my friends were on the receiving end of Iranian made 107mm rockets in 2009 -2010 and beyond. Trump's actions have no bearing on Iran smuggling in special machine tools to its proxies to make explosively formed penetrators...

The Saudis have had a pipeline to bypass the strait for decades. It runs from Jubayl on their east coast on the Persian Gulf (area where Marines had assembly areas during the Gulf War) to Yanbu on the west coast on the Red Sea. The terminus at Yanbu has seen escalating attacks off and on since...

Not coordinated with Tehran. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oregon higher than TX. In a way, doesn't surprise me. OTOH, I don't know Pew Research methodology. Are these percentages people who admit to owning a gun? The reality might be different.

As you say, Abu Musa was co-occupied by Iran and UAE. When Iran took complete control some reports said UAE military were executed on the island. This has been a festering sore for decades and despite planning to take it, or, take it out from the air, no one has had the gumption to do it. I...

Dry land returns require a much heavier capsule to withstand the shock and multiple retro rockets to cushion the impact in addition to parachutes. There are cons to ocean landings also, but we've opted for less weight and no retros. Note that with new technology we can now put four crewmembers...

I agree they didn't pop out recently, but she may have revealed AARs and lessons learned which would be incorporated in future manuals, but we'll find out more hopefully. You reminded me of a part in Blackhawk Down where the Delta guys went in riding on seats extending out from the sides of...

Remember the old proverb that cease fires just allow the enemy to reload? Well, we can a lot and they can a little bit. I haven't all the reports posted here, but I'd wager the cease fire allowed us to rest and re-cock and start the targeting process to clear the Strait. Don't laugh, but I...
