    M2 Bradley — America’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle

    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...

    M2 Bradley — America’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle

    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.

    July 16, 1969 At 9:32 a.m. EDT, Apollo 11, is launched on a historic journey

    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.

    The Morning Briefing with Sheriff Grady Judd

    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:

    Martin B-26 Marauder: The Widowmaker in WWII

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

    Bureau internal divisions over Epstein files (which of course don't exist)

    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...

    This is painful to watch

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

    U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Has Docked In Iceland For The First Time Ever

    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.

    RIP Sig P320

    There is no press release at the FBI website concerning the P320. And that's all I have to say about that.

    Second Amendment: Understanding The Militia Clause

    I agree, but I would up your percentage to about 25%. Of course my experience is dated and being ex-combat arms we generally were pretty proficient. However, service support units did their annual qualification and the higher yo got up the support chain the fewer skills they had. Once the...

    texas hill country floods

    We used to live very near the Guadalupe and visited there often. It has seen a lot of water in the past. Floods of 1999, 2004 (I think). In some places it's terraced up and you build at the top. Only temp cottages or such should be built there. Where we would go, campgrounds were always at...

    Distance Measuring In The Field: A Beginner's Guide

    Brings back memories of training in range estimation. In spite of LRFs and coincidence range finders we did training in the techniques he mentioned. The reason we use MILs is because and angle of one mil subtends an arc of one meter at 1000 meters. As he mentioned knowing the size of an...

    Red Armor: The T-34/85 in the Korean War

    I would argue the T-34 was the best tank of WWII. No turret basket/fighting compartment, generally no radio, even when calculated for slope the armor was thinner than a Sherman's, and it was a bear to bailout of hence the high casualty rates of NK crewmen. Also, the M26 Pershing wasn't even...
