Few more groups for you guys

Ordered one of the new mounts. I had my C35 up for sale, but with the revised pricing, I'd put it on a 22 before I sold it.

Ya I would probably have told them since so much money and lives had been spent I'd be inclined to keep going till I got it all .

Along the lines currently drawn on the map is that a river?
Or is it just east of the river?

I had my eye on the river as a natural line in the sand (Boundary) from the onset.

It seems that Putin has dragged this out to deplete the inventories of NATO while not going full nuke in order to cause a significant delay in any real NATO involvement so that Russia can modernize and mobilize their economy for a bigger conflict. It wasn’t just pushing back NATO from encroaching on their border as well as gaining the areas that voted to leave Ukraine. They also used the time to continue to firm up BRICS and their payment system.

If this doesn’t go full canned sunshine they have purchased significant time for Russia and its allies to see the current battlefield technology and create countermeasures. The mobilization of the Oreshnik system is part of that, and there are statements out in the public sphere stating that Russia is wanting to station some of them in Central America. Add to that China’s presence.

While Ukraine is the conflict in our face it appears to have also been a deflection from other things the Russians were doing, namely eroding dollar hegemony.

For most civilian users, they are the wrong tool.

Those who need them tend to know they need them.

I keep both around for different purposes.

I'm Left Eye dominant and have had no problems.
But I shoot and glass with my Rx glasses on full time.
That's been my only complaint: wishing these had a couple more mm of eye relief...

AND President Biden is sharp as a tack!

On this day in 1967, a Navy chaplain gave his life while helping his Marines during the Vietnam War. Father Vincent Capodanno was later awarded the Medal of Honor for the brave and selfless way he served that day.

The Catholic Church has since named Father Capodanno a “Servant of God,” which is the first step on the path to sainthood.

But Father Capodanno wasn’t just any military chaplain. His Marines lovingly called him “The Grunt Padre” because he chose to live and serve just like they did—sharing their hard work, their struggles, and the dangers of the battlefield.

“He wasn’t the kind of chaplain who did his job and then went back to a safe space,” one biographer wrote. “He lived like one of the Marines. He went wherever they went. He carried what they carried. No issue was too big or too small—Father Vincent was always there, day or night.”

That way of life would lead to his death during Operation Swift, a major Vietnam War battle in the fall of 1967. On September 4, part of his unit was attacked and the situation quickly turned into a deadly fight.

As a chaplain, Capodanno could have stayed at the command post—a much safer spot. But that wasn’t his way. He chose to be where his Marines were suffering.

According to his Medal of Honor citation, Capodanno “ran through an open field filled with enemy gunfire to reach a platoon that was under heavy attack.” He ignored the bullets and explosions all around him as he moved across the battlefield, giving last rites to the dying and helping the wounded.

Even after being badly wounded in his arms and legs—and losing part of his right hand—Capodanno kept going.

He was at the side of Sergeant Lawrence Peters as the Sergeant passed away. Peters fought so bravely that day that he also received the Medal of Honor. But thanks to Capodanno, he didn’t die alone.

Corporal Ray Harton, another Marine wounded that day, remembered what happened when he was lying hurt. “Someone touched me,” he said. “When I opened my eyes, it was Father Capodanno. Everything went quiet. In a calm voice, he cupped the back of my head and said, ‘Stay quiet, Marine. You’ll be okay. Someone will be here soon. God is with us all today.’”

Capodanno was killed when he saw a young corpsman who had been shot in the leg. A machine gun was still firing at the wounded man. Capodanno ran out and placed himself between the gun and the injured Marine. That’s when the gun fired again, hitting Capodanno from the back of his head to the base of his spine.

He died there, having earned his third Purple Heart that same day. When they found his body, it had 27 bullet wounds.

This Labor Day weekend, it’s fitting to remember a man who worked with all his heart for his God, his country, and the Marines he called family.

Rest in peace, Father Capodanno.
