Lots of better weapons than the Pig, but it had it's time and place. Pretty sure I could still make one run. Great photo, where'd you find it? Boat Guy
Everywhere! "If it bleeds, it leads" has been the media motto for a century. A grunt toting bandoliers of ammo, with burning huts in the background? Instant iconic 'Nam pic.
the M-60 was a good weapon. always worked for me back in the day. then too I kept it clean and oiled at all times. but that was a long time ago now too. 1/503 PIR when you are my size, you either get the radio or the 60. and I sure didn't want the damn radio ! dave in pa.
Brother, love it still. Gotta love our ammo, too! We could just wear that stuff uncovered in some of the shitiest conditions on the planet and it still ran. Boat Guy
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

I really wanted a job in a moisturizer factory. I applied twice a day.

Been 39 years since I last fired one and I know I could make it run.
