When I am hiking and hunting I stick with hand grenades. When I set up camp at night I set out claymores, and smear peanut butter on the front. This way I know I will get a CNS hit, and any other bears around will know I mean business. Fun fact, the "front towards enemy" lettering is raised, so...
At least from the more recent conflicts, I have most enjoyed the books written by embedded authors/journalist. Just the right balance of objective observer and still in the nitty gritty.
Have you read the Army at Dawn Series? It’s WW2, but an amazing narrative. Great balance of the general’s...
I would encourage all to look into how the units from your state participated. The 1st Minnesota played prominently at Gettysburg...

When I bought that rifle I had never killed a big game animal with anything other than archery equipment, but I went to college in Duluth, MN, and got to tag along on some moose hunts/packouts from the Boundary Waters. At the time it seemed like it would be a big part of my future, so when...
You made me start to think about what my list would look like, so I'll play...

Hey, I get it, people have rough weeks. I am not sure what the rest entailed, but I hope the rest is better. My initial post was just giving you some good natured shit. I had to expand for RJ….;)
No I was being a smartass, and was saying that being all up in arms because someone is offended by something is just as bad. Who gives a shit. Ignore it. Move on with your life. Instead you are letting them drag you down into the same crap. Cause guess what, the fact that she has had enough of...
