It doesn't matter, since when does chanting "USA USA" constitute racism? And exactly what "race" are we talking about? That's what people chanted when we beat the Russians in hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics (well, those of us who were alive back then), why wasn't it insulting then?!? By the way, what didn't get reported was that the visiting team's supporters were chanting "Alamo Whites" earlier (the home team is Alamo Heights). Of course, I guess that's allowed even though in San Antonio there's a Hispanic majority. For the most part there has never been any real "racial tensions" in SA, but recently a high school in Devine (SW of SA) filed a complaint with the Feds because the girl's volleyball team had a disproporational amount of whites on it, and now this bullshit. It's all fucking ridiculous...

What the fuck... As for that bullshit that happened on the southside of San Antonio, the school board down there are the biggest bunch of fucking idiots known to man...

Well, based on the previews I've seen, I'm still skeptical...

Picking this up for $375 on Wednesday... It's a Colt Trooper Mk III .357 with a 6" barrel, I figured it would make a great companion piece for the 1954 Colt .357 Magnum I have have that was my father's. I've also got a Ruger GP100 with the original grips... Cheers! M2

Dude, you're done and so are your conspiracy theories. Go find some other forum to preach your tin-hat rhetoric.

Like I said, being cordial to each other...

Really, instead of the non-hostile "Did ya know your shirt's on backwards?" you got the full breech-load effect? Fucking hell, what happened to the days of being cordial to each other?!?

An excellent way to honor the man that saved her father's life! Schneider's wife's comments... :beer: to you, Dr. Kai Zacharowski!

9 Rota (a.k.a. the Russian version of Platoon) is a popular movie amongst the AK community, I have it on DVD in Russian (don't buy the dubbed over version!). It's a good movie but honestly The Beast (a.k.a The Beast of War) is much better movie. Of course, then there's Rambo III... Cheers! M2

Yeah, I passed on it. However, I did get a nice gift today. An Army buddy of mine, brought me an AK bayonet that was picked up in Iraq. It turned out to be a Russian Tula Type II AKM bakelite, which are some of the nicest ones around. The fact that this was was brought back from Iraq makes it even more cool. So this week's acquisitions include that bayonet, a Bosnian/Croatian two-rib magazine, a pair of Yugoslav dog tags and a nice Russian calendar card with General Kalashnikov's picture on the other side. So I didn't get the 6.8mm SPC AR-15, but it was still a good week and there is a gun show this weekend... Cheers! M2

T-bonez I agree, I stopped by a local gun shop with a buddy (he needed some advice on a potential purchase, plus he baited me in saying they had AKs for sale there!) and I checked on the price of 6.8mm ammo. It's $25+ for 20 rounds! I've also had an AR expert I know tell me it was a bit more than what he'd pay. I think I'm gonna pass. I've been contemplating an AR in 7.62x39 but I've heard they're prone to issues. I think I'm gonna stick with that I know best (and what I have a lot of ammo stocked up for), AKs, SKS, Mosins, etc... Cheers! M2

I've got an AR custom builder locally (Alex of Dreadnaught Industries) if I need some help, I'm still kinda on the fence about this rifle especially considering my limited knowledge of ARs and the 6.8mm SPC round... Cheers! M2

Ronald Reagan was president. What else needs to be said?

Anyone have any firsthand experience with the 6.8mm SPC round? I have a chance to pick up the following rifle for $825... Details... As most of you know, I am not an AR guy; but from what I've heard from a few folks who are this round is the latest/greatest thing in the community. Cheers! M2

Maybe she's tracking this thread!

That is correct, this is a little over two years after retiring... Before anyone asks, yes I was employed at the time and no, that is not a wig! It all disappeared on my 45th birthday (so, several years ago!) Cheers! M2

Keep it in perspective... So some dipshit academic or liberal lawyer decided to nominate the idiot. 191 individuals were submitted, that doesn't mean the committee will pick him. Of course, this is the same organization that gave one to Obama for...well....something (no one seems to know what). It's pretty much a worthless distinction, remember that Jimmy Carter and Al Gore have "won" it as well... Plus, when that little shithead ends up in FPMITA prison, it won't do him much good.

The sight of that GAF MiG-29 brings a tear to my eye...those were kick-ass looking jets!

I will shit wherever/whenever I want! Jesus, what in the fuck is going on with the Air Force these days? Barring someone from using the bathroom? I don't know whether to laugh or be thoroughly disgusted that some nubnut SNCO actually thinks this is a solution to a problem. Thank God I was in during the days when a Chief's primary duty was to try to drink everyone under the table! Of course, back then they also smoked, cussed, had flattops and liked to chase tail (of the female variety). I guess it's all gone completely PC now... You guys have my sympathy. Cheers! M2

Barney Dice used to have a lot of Hog door art pics on his website, can't access it from work but hopefully the site is still operating... https://www.thewarthogpen.com/art_index.html There are also a lot of pics on: https://www.a-10.org Cheers! M2

While comical, I'm glad this was the only injury...

Taste the rainbow! That's shit hot! Cheers! M2

Yes, it is a crime against decency and common sense. It was an idiotic thing to do and as has already been pointed out, a lot of people have been drummed out of the USAF who haven't done anything nearly as stupid...

Exactly, let the fucking Taliban take them back into the Stone Age. The Afghanis have had their chance to get their shit together (and over ten years to do so), and this is how they show their appreciation for all those who have tried to help them have a better life? And what about those who have been injured or killed in the process? 2014 can't get here fast enough.

Well, as expected... This from the same service that concluded in a different investigation "...had Haney not been distracted by trying to breathe, he would have recognized the unusual attitude..." Pathetic.
