With a APDS round, more like “When you are going to make a T-72 lose it’s turret.”

You read posts on different forums, and half the Black Rifles in America are now sitting at the bottom of lakes. I keep on trying to catch some, but not having any luck yet.

Colonel William J. Davis III Davis chose to attend Millersville State College to study secondary education and history and play football. Following graduation, rather than looking for his first job as a teacher, on November 11, 1971—Veterans Day—Davis enlisted in the Army. Beginning as a Private he quickly worked his way up the ranks to Second Lieutenant. Later on as a Lieutenant Colonel, Davis commanded the 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group during the Gulf War. Between 1990 and 1991, his battalion executed demining operations on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, accounted for more than 8,700 enemy prisoners, captured or destroyed thousands of light weapons, and rescued an American F-16 pilot from behind enemy lines. All of Col. Davis’s operations were completed without a single loss of American life. Additionally, no unit of its size in U.S. Army history has ever replicated the magnitude of tasks and missions executed by the 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces. After returning home in the spring of 1991, Col. Davis noticed some concerning symptoms—he went from overseeing highly tactical missions to struggling to dial his own telephone. As time went on, other physical and neurodeficits developed. It wasn’t until 1997 that Dr. Robert Haley began to link Col. Davis’s condition to the chemical agents used in the Gulf War. Col. Davis and his identical twin brother, Bob, immediately volunteered to serve as research patients in Dr. Haley’s program to help identify and treat what is now known as Gulf War Illness. “In medical research identical twins can be like gold. Having identical DNA, they should respond virtually identically to most tests except for alterations caused by illness or injury in life,” said Dr. Haley. An estimated 11,000 Gulf War veterans have died since 1991, but thanks to Col. Davis and Bob—who have subjected themselves to numerous tests for more than 10 years—doctors are better equipped to help current and future veterans who face chemical weapons in conflict. “Without Bill’s energetic and courageous commitment to our studies, we might never have found the key to the illness...Bill has made a profound contribution to medical research that will improve the lives of tens of thousands Gulf War veterans from throughout the nation,” says Dr. Haley. In 2005, the Colonel Bill Davis Fund for Research on Gulf War Illness was established at the center for Gulf War Illness and Chemical Agent Exposure, UT Southwestern, Dallas, Texas. Now retired from active duty, Col. Davis is still a leader and educator. Col. Davis strives to personify in word and deed the Special Forces motto “De Oppresso Liber,” to liberate the oppressed.

Got a tough boy there. Glad he healed up okay.

You will get pissed at them, frustrated by them, admire the hell out of them, and love them to death.

Show me the medical journal published double blinded peer reviewed study showing that the Covid vaccine’s fuk up people more then getting Covid. Don’t exist. “Anecdotal” reports are worthless for proving anything.Adverse reactions? Sure. Reported death rates higher then Covid? Don’t exist. One reason I subscribe to the NEJM and the Lancet is to follow that stuff. I will be saying no more about this in this thread. Not the place to comment. You guys can argue it in politics.

Wishful thinking to support your skepticism. I will be fine. And a lot better then the roughly 1/3 of people over 60 who have had Covid that suffer long term effects, including my neighbor who has since come down with arrythmias.

That deserves a new thread.🤣 This one has been corrupted enough.

I have one, never use it. Uncomfortable, really feels somewhat unsafe, especially with a striker fired pistol with no safety. Better is to take an inside the waistband holster and stitch a large piece of soft suede to it between the holster and your skin. Much better.

I sailed through 4 Covid vaccinations without a side effect. This shingles one put me down and out for a day. Injection site pain, a headache and general lethargy. Coming out of it now. I hear you on the loss of mobility. I had to have the ball joint of my right foot fused together 6 years ago so I can no longer run. It sucks.

Nigel Keys at the University of Minnesota was a one man wrecking crew of misinformation on dietary issues back then. Unfortunately all the so called health experts listened to him. Read “Good Calorie Bad Calorie” by a former writer for Scientific American. It makes for interesting reading.

This is a 120 mm gun on a Turkish M60T Sabra. Would like to know the story behind it.

A whole lot of truth there that modern society conveniently forgot.one of my favorite parts of a steak is the fatty end.

Did it today. Had a Doc visit scheduled anyway so he could kick the tires now that I turned 74. Looks like I have some time left. Got a lot of ammo I need to shoot up.

Fat got a bad rap it doesn't deserve. It is the carbohydrate/Insulin interaction that causes the body to lose the ability to clear fat from its cells and tissues.

That sucks Hemi. Think I will get that shingles vaccine I keep forgetting. My wife will be getting a total knee next spring. I am starting to have some knee pain but the Doc thinks its a bone spur. Get well soon.

First picture after slicing. Second picture, what's left by the time I got my camera post family feeding frenzy when it came out of the oven.

Done cooling preparatory to slicing and trying.

Nice job Sketch, mine was about #20 but traditional oven. Turned out good. This is the bacon I put on the smoker this morning after curing and drying for 9 days. Turkey bacon and tomato sandwiches for dinner!

Wise move👍🏻

I hand cut with a long, extremely sharp Japanese knife designed for sushi and shashimi.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
