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.

Italian Army Bersagliere (Sharpshooters) armed with a Beretta ARX 160 assault rifle.
It's an odd habit that the Italians have, wearing a dead crow on their helmets. Reminds me of that native American chap you pictured here recently.
ReplyDeleteThat magazine seems like std. AR15 fare.....doesn't seem a little too short to reach below that ejection port? Asking for a friend............
ReplyDeleteIsn't the ARX160 22cal?
ReplyDeleteIs that going to turn into a "dropped once,never fired" gun too that the Italians are so famous for?
ReplyDeleteI thought that was the French!
DeleteWHAT'S with the dago's and their DAMN FEATHERS??
ReplyDeleteHelmet feathers are from the capercallie, called an Auerhahn in German. They were originally used for camouflage and shade.
ReplyDeleteThey are a light infantry formed about 200 year ago. They run everywhere, even in parades.
Mussolini was a member of this unit.
