Because you are too busy crashing them in the desert or the woods of Florida? Your community has some fantastic people, it also has a few real jackasses, just like everyone else. Get over yourself.

I've been researching a combo that has both a tactical option and a little bit of reach...thinking about this one.

Its meant to prevent purple hearts. Pedro's have taken some SERIOUS BDA the past few years as did some other rotor platforms in Iraq. Case in point.

Russia shoots down meteor?
Reports of massive damage and up to 500 people injured from the impact. It doesn't look like they shot or attempted to shoot it down in the video. I bet these people though we launched a missile at them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO_uo0bPbu4

Who said anything about being a cop...we were talking about weapons handling?

Respectfully disagree. My brother is a cop and head of the SWAT Team at a large North East Department. Before making Lt he served as his department's chief firearms instructor. A few years back when I was visiting during their annual weapons qualification period, his police chief invited me to shoot the qualification course. I qualified very easily, five of the 50 officers there that day did NOT.

Yes...one of the problems with unrestrained capitalism, they will water down the whiskey to make more profit. I appreciate they've been honest and upfront (they would have been caught anyway), but as a purist I am very disappointed, they have marketed themselves on quality for years, they drew us in as ambassadors to leverage that quality and have the customer spread the word. Now when all of that worked they are going to cash in to make an extra 3% on the bottomline. I guess most companies would so it, I am just disappointed this one did.

If that Russian Shit was half as good as you think it is they would have won the Cold War. Obviously it takes a more refined intellect to employ an AR, and with that refinement comes victory.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Document EVERYTHING before you leave is what the old timers have told me. I had not heard about the dust/smoke link, but I have been told Sleep Apnea = automatic 50% disability (M2 didn't you post about that once?). 50% disability is a magic number for several post military considerations including tax free retirement payments, veterans preference for follow-on hiring, and many states have programs for disabled vets such as free or reduced tuition for your kids. One common misconception is the calculation of disability....M2/Huggy/Rainman being the oldest can certainly share their knowledge, but as I understand it if your initial disability rating comes in at 30%, and you subsequently develop another condition worth 20%, the follow on disability rating is not additive, instead it is a function of the remaining value. The VA will review each disabling condition that you claimed was caused by your military service. The highest disability rating will be applied to the most severe disability. The next rating will be assigned for the next less severve disability. This will continue until each disability is rated from zero to 100%. The VA uses a table that determines the maximum rating for all of the disabilities that were rated. The total disability is not additive e.g. If you were rated at 40% for disability #1, 20% for #2, and 10% for number 3, you would not have an overall disability of 70%. The table 1st considers the 40% disability and then the 20% to get a disability rating value. From that value, it considers the 10% which results in your total VA disability rating.
