    Trump says either GOD wins or I die.

    And you are not biased? You argue generalities. I argue facts. In post #7 above I stated my opinions, based on facts, and made conclusions based on those facts by applying logic. Give it a try. It stimulates thought, which is the origin of duscovery. Fact is that we could go on forever about...

    Trump says either GOD wins or I die.

    Obviously you prefer the Right Wing Bias. I am not biased. I just look at the facts and apply logic. What a novel idea in an age of strict ideologies. That is what my post above that you have characterized according to your bias actually was a result of.

    Christmas Day 1967, I Corps, South Vietnam

    Getting back in time for Tet was not exactly good luck. I started my third tour in Nam in November 1967. I was due to rotate out in November 1968. But then the Tet offensive took me to Hue City in November. On November 29 I took two AK rounds in my side while we cleared the city. What a way to...

    Christmas Day 1967, I Corps, South Vietnam

    On Xmas eve in 1967 we fought a nightlong battle with a cadre of VC and NVA. It was a brutal fight. The next day after we cleared the battlefield of KIA and WIA. A few of us focused on what a horrible way it was to celebrate Christmas. We sat together and composed our own Christmas poem. This...

    Random Thoughts Thread.

    Wow bumpy you cited the best example. The government has systematically violated all the treaties it made with native Americans. I think the next most abused group is wounded veterans who have to wait endlessly for treatment and then get inferior treatment if they are not denied altogether. If...

    Least We Forget...

    Shooter13, Great post. Really great. When you are on station in a foreign land especially if you are on a front line Christmas just makes you long for home, but you do your job in spite of that. What civilians take for granted is often a dream for service member.

    Post #7. Footwear Anyone who ever served in the infantry will tell you are only as good as the condition of your feet. Wet or cold feet can not only slow you, but also can end up as a medical condition like trench foot or frostbite. A blister can be debilitating until you lance it. When you...

    No, it is a knock off an everstrike. You can get them on eBay for under $3.00. Look for the ones that ship from USA. The cheapest ones ship from China, and that takes forever. On eBay just search for survival lighter.

    Quite true. The hand sanitizer is 70% Ethyl alcohol and can be used the same way. It burns with a clear flame so you have to be careful.

    Post #6. First Aid Kit While a first aid kit is clearly recognizable as a survival need the contents of a kit should be tailored to a variety of injuries. The marketplace is crowded with prefabricated first aid kits. My problem with those kits is that they are most often not assembled based...

I loved the rifle. The training my uncle provided stuck with me for ten years at at 17 years and 8 month old...

    FBI "Patriots" set to expose Comey & Co.

    Well coming from the source it did all I can say is hogwash. Kallstom has not been connected to the FBI for 20 years. Why would I believe he still has contacts at a high enough level to know what he claimed. In fact his own words show he does not know it and is only speculating. After...
