Makes sense. Combat is the living personification of random acts of insanity coupled with unbeliveablity. Why did I survive while everyone else did not? Why was I bumped off that vehicle at the last minute, only to live? God's hand, random luck? I tried to tell my son on his first deployment...

I stopped to get gas while on the way to the range, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I need to be aware of what is around me. I had several weapons and ammo in the truck. All past times getting gas, I failed to realize what I was not noticing while getting gas.

Lot to think about in this article. I have a membership to a legal defense plan. They do a great deal of educating its members about what to do before, avoiding, and after a use of deadly force. Education is the key here. Knowing when to pull the trigger is just as important as know how to...

I am not a hunter, but this article was funny as the day is long.

I have the Crimson Trace laser/light combo, and no one seems to make holsters for that setup.

I just got the Crimson Trace long gun flashlight for my Saint Victor AR-10. I tricked this out with a scope, 45 degree fiber optic sights along with the flashlight.

Right, wrong, indifferent, what is done, is done. If the Americans had lost the war, the Germans would have put the American commanders on trial for this.

I am not a red dot type of a guy. I did add the Crimson Trace flashlight/laser combo to my Operator. Guess I am just that old school sort of guy.

This was the AFV's equivalent of a lightweight boxer with the punch of a heavyweight. German tank crews made the black joke that one German tank was better than 12 American tanks, but they always had 13 tanks. This variation is part of the long line of changes that the M-4 underwent over the...

My first time with the M-14 was while in high school ROTC. That was a log time ago. After high school, joined the Army. Since that time, I was indoctrinated to the M-16A1. I thought about getting the M1A, but since I am fully indoctrinated to the AR platform, went with the AR-10. Getting...

Fear, superstition, and ignorance combine to make the human species the most dangerous animals on the planet.

Well, I have 3 1911's. 2 in 45 with one a 22 magnum. I do have the 45's with night sights while the 22 magnum has fiber optic sights.

Was the B-58 first a parasite attack craft?

Not a fan of small pistols.

I remember reading about him 40 years ago. Speculation that he was injured in the attack run, and he knew he was not going to make it, or he did not want to be a POW again. Either way, he was a warrior.

History is the guide to the future. The German Army began WWII with inferior AVFs. Their crews were better trained, and the Germans employed better battlefield tactics. By the end of WWII, the Germans were creating 70 monsters that where all but useless on the battlefield. Today's 70-ton...

Never knew that about the weak and safe areas of motor vehicles.

I remember the day I failed to follow the correct steps in disassembly of the 50 cal. Took me several hours to get it right, and I never made that mistake again.

Life when you are at the top, with no Plan B.
