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.

If yer referin" to a U.S. made Entrenching Tool (1 each) I empathize. This basturd is made by chink slaves. The little bastards are still after us.......
When I went in in 74 we got the wooden handed ones that beat the hell out of the back of your legs. About 76 we got the new fold up version, much nicer.

I have a fair amount of time behind one of those things, unfortunately.

Deletedug an 81mm gunpit or two with the wooden handle style. Folded into "L" shape, it also served as a prop for one cheek while taking a dump.
