Ok enough shenanigans.

It is Sunday June 15th, Fathers Day.

Go hug yer dad or if like me and he (they including FIL) are passed…..

Remember him.

Hug yer kids, be glad for procreation and being part of it.


My dad passed when I was 19 from a long battle with cancer. I feel like I didn’t really know him that well, only how a kid knows a man. I didn’t get to know him as an adult, he didn’t see me marry, he didn’t see my daughter or my grandson.

My FIL was a good man who took me as his own. I loved William but he too is now gone.

I tried to be a good dad, still I strive for that and she is 30. I try to be an exceptional grandpa as you have seen in pictures.

Life is not scripted. We choose daily who we are. Be dad.

Lets see.

Everybody I knew is dead. Does hugging my self count or is that gay?

That has been my only question in this thread - which of these products cause cancer instead of allowing corrosion...

I’m about as unbias as they get - I’ve got all breeds in the safe currently. Zco, Schmidt’s, razors, Theos, Kahles - and the 5-42 is a favourite (not that I have the PRS turrrets).

To be more accurate, certain minority entities in DC, have vested interests in Israel. My only interest in Israel is to see them kicked off the land they stole. But even that interest is secondary to my personal safety and security here at home.

It's bigger than that... But it's still interests vs. friendships.

Back at the end of the Gulf War, General Sir Peter de la Billiere (the 2IC of the British forces and former commander of the Special Air Service as well as one of the finest combat soldiers of the 20th Century) said, quite rightly: "If Kuwait grew Carrots, we wouldn't give a damn."

That is the ME in a nutshell.

Sirhr

Read the WIKI report, this doesnt tell it all. He was 6.5 and 250 lbs. Killed a couple Chinese with his bare hands, crushed his windpipe. Charged two others and cracked their heads together so hard he cracked the skulls. Dont fuck with Big Dave.




On this day, 73 years ago, on June 14, 1952, Sergeant David B. Bleak, age 20, a combat medic assigned to the Medical Company, 2nd Battalion, 223rd Infantry Regiment, 40th Infantry Division, fought during a daylight reconnaissance-in-force mission near Minari-gol, North Korea.
The mission’s objective was to probe enemy positions on Hill 499 and capture a prisoner for intelligence purposes. The patrol consisted of approximately 20 soldiers. Sergeant Bleak volunteered to join the patrol to provide immediate medical care, knowing the mission involved open exposure to enemy fire.
As the patrol moved uphill, it encountered fierce enemy small-arms and mortar fire. The first burst of fire wounded several men. Bleak ran forward under fire, reaching the wounded while bullets hit the ground around him. He treated the injuries quickly and remained exposed to fire while doing so.
As the team advanced further up the slope toward the crest, they were ambushed again, this time by enemy soldiers occupying a trench just beyond the ridgeline. Bleak was among the first to reach the trench. He jumped into it and immediately engaged in close-quarters combat. He killed two enemy soldiers using his bare hands by grabbing and throwing them down the trench. A third enemy soldier rushed him with a weapon. Bleak killed him with his trench knife.
Soon after, an enemy grenade landed near one of the wounded soldiers. Bleak threw himself between the soldier and the grenade. He absorbed the concussion with his body, shielding the wounded man from further injury. Despite being dazed, Bleak got up and resumed treating other wounded soldiers under fire.
While continuing to administer aid, Bleak was shot in the leg. He wrapped the wound himself, refused evacuation, and proceeded to assist in withdrawing the wounded from the hill.
While carrying a wounded man downhill, Bleak was confronted by two enemy soldiers with fixed bayonets. He set the man down, rushed the attackers, grabbed both by the helmets, and smashed their heads together with enough force to knock them unconscious or kill them instantly. He then picked up the wounded man again and carried him down the slope through enemy fire until reaching safety.
For his actions on June 14, 1952, Sergeant David B. Bleak was awarded the Medal of Honor. The medal was presented by President Dwight D. Eisenhower at a White House ceremony on October 27, 1953.
Sergeant Bleak was one of the few combat medics in U.S. history to receive the Medal of Honor for hand-to-hand combat during the course of his duties. He left the Army after the war and lived in Idaho.
David B. Bleak died on March 23, 2006, at the age of 74. He was cremated. A cenotaph in his honor is located at Lost River Cemetery in Moore, Idaho.

You missed Guatemala.

I spent some time there, on my way home I got lost and ended up in a Mayan village. they spoke pure Mayan, one of the boys had been to school and spoke Spanish. I did some trading with them for a huipil and noticed there were no men in the village. I figured they were all up in the fields working. They still plant corn one kernel at a time using a pointed stick.

Found out later that wasnt the case, they had all been killed by death squads.

Yeah, they were good at it, too.

But the LWDS types were active and accomplished in Cambodia and Laos... and for 10,000 days in VN. And, of course, the NKVD was an LWDS... So was the Stasi. And the DGI in Cuba. And a bunch of Loyalist organizations in the South in the late 1770's. The Patriot may be fantasy... but the Loyalists were not above killing their Patriot neighbors any more than the Patriots were above killing Loyalists.

Then there was Yugoslavia... where left and right matter less than whose grandfather's grandfather had stolen a pig from someone... and that resulted in the extermination of a whole village at the hands of whack-jobs with cool names for their killing gangs.

And the Irish up along the Eire/NI Borders. Wow, they got creative with power drills and smuggled FAL's.

This is why we don't want law and order to disintegrate in the USA. Because all of the above will look like Romper Room if the left ever gets their wet dream of some Marxist Revolution attempt.

To quote The Zohan "You don't want this."

Sirhr

Edit to add: We trained some of them... In country and at School of the Americas. The DGI trained lots. The Argentines trained some (with German efficiency). The KGB trained some and Patrice LaMumba University was full of LBP's in the '80's. The SAS were having a great old time down there based out of Belize... training people. The Medellen and Cali Cartels were hiring folks (including some Americans) to train their hit squads to go after M19, FARC and, later, the Columbian govt. and judiciary. And even the GDR had some of its Stasi-types down there, and it wasn't for the cold Pilsner beer. It was a free-for-all! Guerilla war Happy Times!

Every coin store and coin dealer on earth is a complete piece of shit. Whatever value you establish from prices is probably 2 or 3 times higher than what they will offer to buy anything for.

As for anything silver or gold bullion expect to get offer spot values less a specific dollar amount in fees.

If you tell them it's from a dead relative, expect pennies on the dollar. Look up spot gold and silver prices before talking to any of these assholes. Stay away from pawn shops and run from any retard with a "we buy gold/silver " sign.

Last Saturday I watched a pawn shop scumbag offer a woman $300 each for five gold 1oz Eagles because they were "scrap", he did it with a straight face. Luckily she paused and walked out.

When my dad passed I ended up with a coin collection. I had to part with about 75 Morgan's in order to pay for shipping his stuff home. It took several tries to find a decent dealer.

Do your own research and be careful.

Get a AI mount for that scope ASAP!
