And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
hand grenades and inflatable boats. what could go wrong. I could guess. we used to run a boat out into the gulf stream to give the sosus monitors in Key West a thrill by periodically dropping small empty corroded O2 bottles over the side. at depth, they would implode yielding a very satisfying snap on the hydrophone we used to track dolphins. doing an engine out drift with large sea anchor in the five knot gulf stream and dropping one every five minutes on the dot probably gave the sosus computers something to think about. all fun and games until the coasties showed up.
I had seen this at one time in the past and they were purported to be Russians(which is probably correct). Seems loose grenades and other weapons can be 'had' easily for a couple of bottles of Wodka. Was that grenade defective or had the 1st guy already let his go a few seconds before the clip was made??
Russian hand grenades are/were notorious for having short fuses. We were warned about them in the Army to be careful if we ever had need to use "liberated" hand grenades made in the Soviet Union.
Once the pin is pulled, Mr. Hand Grenade is not your friend anymore. Play stupid games, win stupid prices. Learning by pain.
ReplyDeleteLets just hope that their medical and boat insurance companies said NO PAY. This moronic behavior is what drives up cost of living for the rest of us.

Could have been a short fuse, too.
DeleteThere’s Russian hand grenades without lever to hold. You simply pull the pin out of a prodruding pen-like cylinder on the top.
DeleteSo......what kind of fish did they 'catch'?
ReplyDeleteI bet the dead one would argue your definition of "fun"...
