  1. Way things these bat-sheet crazy elites are taking the world thats about to be no daydream. Them and their agenda of de-populating their precious unsecured spaces so the natural resources only belong to them.

  5. No holding off in my world. Pour it on them till you're the only one standing. I have plenty of experience with a M-60 in the doorway of a Huey Gunship many years ago and would do it again in a heartbeat. 2-1/2 years with the 116th Assault Helicopter Company flying out of the 25th Infantry base camp at Cu Chi, Republic of South Vietnam. Get's no better that that in my opinion!

    1. Thank you for not getting killed for corporate profits. I wanted to be a door gunner, but family talked me into being a fighter crew chief, for better post service job potential. When I got out in May '73, I couldn't get a job servicing Piper Cubs, because Uncle Sam dumped too many acft mechs into the civilian market. Went to work in the San Diego shipyards as a rigger (bosun mate).

    2. Interesting! I spent a high school summer working at St. Louis Ship, helping to build tanker barges. (Started as a laborer, ended as a welder.) Met a guy who had been a USAF jet engine mechanic, and asked him why he wasn’t working for McDonnell-Douglas. He claimed that the company felt they had to retrain prior-military engine guys to their way of doing things, and so they preferred guys without the service background. Wouldn’t surprise me if a union had a lot to do with what seems like a strange situation. (Please understand, I’m not doubting your account.)

    1. Roger that! The AK looks like an 8-10 inch pistol or SBR.

  8. I am reminded of the closing scene of The Thing, with Kurt Russell.

    "Why don't we wait a while and see what happens?"
