Personally an M14 is my .308 of choice. Another awesome option (but you'll have to wait 6+ months) is Faxon Firearms' ARAK31. Their ARAK21 is the best 5.56 there is IMO, and the .308 will be in the same league Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's wrong with the Air Force?
This is exactly what has happened at HRT in years past. The fire dept came in and gave a very honest and uncensored brief about DUI accidents (it vaguely reminded me of "faces of death"). There are a handful of people at HRT that I know of who've received a DUI and haven't been made to do anything other than get a verbal beating and carry on with their job (obviously paperwork/etc is transparent from the outside). Never has any individual or squadron been forced to form up/march/etc. IMHO there is ZERO gained from doing that, either in learning a legit lesson or true punishment.

I'm really looking forward to Edge of Tomorrow...glad it's as good as it looks. The new X-Men is an awesome movie if you liked First Class. It outshines each and every one of the first batch of X movies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Liberty, Rights, and the Constitution 2
I'm in 100% agreement with Vertigo (time/date noted) The really sad thing is this (very close to Vertigo's scenario) was implemented in either TX or AZ and quickly pulled because it was offensive and discriminatory. What a croc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You must think every single person is a detriment to society if holding up the people behind you qualifies for it. Unnecessary? Maybe, the argument can be made at least. Detrimental to society? Not even close Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Liberty, Rights, and the Constitution 2
I understand how doing that might be unnecessary but I'm sincerely curious how exercising that right is a detriment to society... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How is exercising your rights a detriment to society? It seems like you're saying anyone who exercises rights you disagree with is a dick Isn't this a direct contradiction to your own statement one sentence earlier... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Total Federal Commissioned Service Date?
Mr Peterson retired August of last year. The new guy in his position is a Major (can't recall his name at the time) but he isn't very good about answering the phone or responding to emails. You CAN get a waiver for age or TFCSD without there being an "error". There are just (relatively) very few issued Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SGT Bowe Bergdahl Freed
Not to split hairs...but this is a contradicting statement. And honestly I'm sick of hearing how he was a POW. He wasn't. A terrorist group by definition can't take POW's, they take hostages. So either he was being held by a legitimate state actor as a POW, or he was being held by a terrorist organization as a hostage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last week my new ARAK21 2 barrel combo showed up...I absolutely love this new upper. (Pic isn't mine) The company is also great to deal with, and they do a military discount for any product. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. I wasn't at all trying to imply that people shouldn't expect to be scorned and ridiculed (I promise I'm not that naive or idealistic), but there is a big difference between scorn and what has happened in many situations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sigh...the forrest for the trees...you're excuses don't negate the fact that their 1st amendment was completely trampled on I feel like your first post and your reply to my post are on contradicting "sides" of the 1st amendment issue

This has been going on for a while... A police chief forced to resign for using colorful racial language. An NBA owner forced to sell his team and banned from the sport forever for the same language If I walked up and told a group of gay guys/girls that I thought they were [insert condemning comment] then I'd be nailed to the wall for "hate speech" The first amendment, for the most part, doesn't mean jack anymore unless you're on the side of minorities/special interest groups Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As Azimuth said, the stars are always forwards, regardless of which shoulder you wear it on. In OCP's we wear our IR flag on the right, but it's a reversed flag from the left shoulder ones we wear at home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
