Somalia USMC and Mainland Japan USMC

10 rounds of security Ammunition... Mid December 1992- 3/9 USMC Somalia. The day before a major fire fight with Addid's men at a arms depot. We get a call to go out to secure a army unit: a radio rebroadcasting unit that was shot up. They request our weapons platoon because the shots came from a tank mounted MG. We're all: " Yay! we get to splash a tank!" So we grab kit and haul ass. We get there after night fall, and it's a coastal bushy hill top overlooking a compound about a mile away. We immediately deploy a pair of dragons with thermal sights. ( These sights were so rudimentary that they were rated as running for hours, not days, and required bottled refridgerant) No heat from either of the tanks down in the compound, and NV shows no movement in or arround them. The "sit-rep" we get after an hour is to -watch the compound for hostile activity and destroy the tanks if they show any life.- ( Daylight would have revealed the T54/55 Tank...

Airsoft Stereotypes: Deserved.

SSSG (Stock Spring Sniper Guy. ) They got the rifle Thursday delivered from amazon (only $125!), and fields it Saturday. Gun spits .20 BBs at 425fps but has no ability to hop a .32 much less the high grade .40 BBs also bought for it. Max range 200ft. This SSSG has high hopes of upgrading their bolt gun "after awhile", but bought it on impulse on sale because it looks awesome, Failing to check its make and model for parts availability, or upgrades. Habitat- They can be found on the KD range, almost anytime there is no game play. During game play, they are the ones actualy using the bipods. They are the squirming players figuring out that chest rigs with mags, and pistols belly mounted are terrible to lay on. Their Face meshmask is preventing them from getting behind their too low optic. The fog on their goggles combined with being immobile and proned, is making it impossible to tell who is a badguy. SSSGs Eventually evolve into Homefield AAA Snipers, AEG DMR Guardian...

Airsoft Cheaters:

Zombie Medick: A player standing with a dead rag out for days.. that is too lazy to walk back to spawn after 2 minutes of bleed out. So he just stands there waiting for his team to retake that area and revive him.... And if nobody from the enemy team sees him anymore...just pockets his dead rag and starts hunting again. * Exclusively from : Airsoft cheaters collection. Collect all seven models: Shrug and Gun, Monte Python Knight, Zombie Medick, BackPack Bliss, Return to Sender, The untouchable, and BFA. The Untouchable: That one guy in the tacticool centepede that keeps reviving all of his wounded fire team. That guy that just can't be hit. You can remarkably repeatedly hit his buddys hands, feet, helmets, and arms, and they call it, but that guy... "That Untouchable" he is reachin out and grabbin a boot from behind the pallet. He is the designated survivor when you open up at 20ft and dump a mag into their huddle. Unless you have the good ambush kill zone, a...

Congress Critters

A reaction from this USMC Vet to Somalia's refugees when they say " Lets not forget the thousands of dead Somalis who died at the hands of the U.S. military during the battle of "Blackhawk Down". -------------------------------------- To this day I can remember the smell of Mogadishu, and the tracers streaming into our camps. The donkey and goat towed carts filled with wood, and dirty water in gas cans, being dragged into the heart of the city to supply their destitute population. The donkeys and goats had bridles woven from copper wires and ropes made from electrical wire scavanged from the ruins. Starving people that lived in the concrete skeletal buildings hollowed and crumbling from civil war. UXO on every block. Mortar fins stuck up from the sandy soil like weeds. These people repurposed their once modern city's wasteland in every imagiable way. We were there to guard the food convoys, and stop the warlords from destroying the organizations sending in...

Fairytail Ending.

Nancy Pelosi (House Dem Speaker *Majority) and Chuck Schumer ( Senate DEM *Minority) Two life long, career politicians, made declarations of intent to weaponize the legislature if Dems ever regain the majority while they lead. Their plan involves a number of bills but the most onerous is one called "The Equality Act" This ACT will make your religous objection to, separation from, and or criticism of those not participating in your religon a federal thought crime. Effectively erasing the first ammendment. It is a mechanism of law that would block judges from ruling to protect your First Ammendment Rights. It hijacks the civil rights laws of 1964 and converts them to apply any LGBTQ gender studies theory participants as a protected minority. This mechanism would make any type of religous objection to LGBTQ life styles a federal crime. The Thought Police Are Being Created. ----‐-----------------------‐----- Your Rights currently: Amendment I. Congress shall make no la...
