    Movie Theater Cult classics... since there doesn't seem to be a thread... And we need some movies to watch!

    Raising Arizona with Nicholas Cage, because that's how I envision my past life and tribulations. Falling Down with Michael Douglas, because I'm feeling more like Douglas' character everyday as our society falls off the cliff of stupidity.

    Need New Kicks, Help me out.

    I agree with the Merrill Moab recommendations. I've had four or five pairs in a row. My last purchase was the version that is water resistant/GoreTex. I got those last year and they seem to be stiffer, heavier and still dont feel quite as broke in. I will go back to the regular Moabs next time...

    New US Army Camouflage Selection Leaked

    Complete waste of money. Bring back the woodland camo from WWII Pacific or OD green. Actually the above mentioned of polka dots isn't too far off. German Dot 44 used by the SS was excellent. Most of the SS camo was superior to Allied wear. Not politically correct today for those that would...

    Pants for hot, humid climates

    REI has some good lightweight but durable zip off type pants/shorts. I have used them backpacking, fishing, whitewater rafting, and overseas in some strange places. They dry very fast and fit me well.

    Needful things...

    Kinda weird but I now keep a good pair of tweezers in my first aid kit that always stays in my Jeep. Three times this year someone has asked if anyone has tweezers and I become instant hero man. Twice for bodily use and once for use on someone's rifle. Go figure. I also have a long dowel that...

    Rifle Scopes Very disappointed with the new BC "tactical" flip ups....

    I too have been very disappointed in BC flip covers. I can't believe someone hasn't come up with a better more reliable product in this niche market. The materials and function are so simple. There's room for someone to make a killing in this market. Not sure I understand George's comment about...

    Anybody know these two?

    Well one is wearing a watch so that kinda infers he can tell time or just fashion conscience in South Africa. Rather not have them date my daughter.

    If you could live any ware in the USA after Military retirement?

    Texas by far and central Texas to be specific. Great pro gun state and still a conservative stronghold even though I happen to live in liberal freaky Austin. Austin had an Air Force base when I moved here but it was closed many years ago. Fort Hood is close and numerous bases in San Antonio...

    DTA Quality

    I......am...with......you. Not.......sure.......what.....this......is......about. Kinda......lost. The OP does have one fine collection of rifle implements. Must be fun to go shoot all those combos. Good going.

    What Sling do you Use? (GAP 10 / AR Style Rifle)

    I agree that you don't want a single point for a GAP10. My GAP10 is heavy and you'll hurt your neck and shoulder humping it through the woods hiking and hunting. It'll make you a hunchback and feel stove up the rest of your outing. I use single points on my AR15s but they are shorter barrel and...

    where will the bomber end up?

    He will eventually end up in Florence Colorado like an earlier post mentioned. That's where others like him are held. Why send him to Gitmo so he can be safe with his own kind and revered by those terrorist nutjobs? The military justice system is super slow and goes nowhere. The whole Nidal...
