Hi Oren,

While I was in Germany, a Soviet General defected.
He said that every (American) NCO was a general.
And that our troops kept operating without our
officers. In the Soviet Army, if their office got
killed, their soldiers would just sit down.


I was there in '71. Near the Czechoslovakia border we could lob in
some artillery rounds, but it wasn't necessary. The commie reds were
just miles from us.

Made sense to me. We always operated better when
we got those meddling, incompetent, taxi cab
driver reject, yo-yos out of our hair


Trust me, I was a nightmare for those 2nd Lieutenants, fresh out of
OCS school. Made one salute me with his left hand. A block later, he
figured it out.

He had the nerve to try and yell at me. LMAO

The last two shooters at Hood were soldiers in uniform, afaik. Give them all
loaded sidearms and the next jihadi or nut won't have to drive down to
Kileen to buy their own.

So, let's roll with that plan. Pvt. Pyle, who's a few cards short of a
pinochle deck anyway, gets really ****ed when his sergeant cancels his
leave, pulls his M9, and starts blasting away. I'd rather not think about
the ensuing mayhem.

Hi Oren,

Were the commie guards in their towers constantly taking
pictures of you? Wonder if they had any film in their
cameras! Our guys didn't have any bullets!


Never got close enough. A 155 Howitzer could give a wake up call, if
it came to that. We were loaded with ammo.

That is horrible! Wish I had though of it. Still laughing.

G Remember I'm not one to comply with a snot nosed kid fresh out of
class.

In the Air Force (at the time) 2nds and 1st were kind of
just ignored by everyone. They said they never got any
respect until they got their double bars. (We still didn't
respect them, we were just too chicken at that point to
show it.)

Watched the MP's haul a guy off one geeing. He knocked a 1st Lt. down
a flight of stairs before they put him in Mannheim military stockade.
Never saw the guy again.

You could always tell an NCO that had been promoted to
to 2nd. They wore all their ribbons. You didn't give
those guys any **** or they took care of business.
But, they knew what they were doing, so ...


My NCO on the 155 SP Howitzer pounded on my head (helmet). He told me
where he wanted me to go and how fast to get there. He let the .50
Cal. go before I made my sharp right turn. The barrel slapped him
upside his head and ****ed him off. "You told me to do it - you were
the dumb ass not holding on.", I told him. An never touch my helmet
again!

At the time the free German army made their officers
spend two years as enlisted men before becoming officers.
I though we should do the same. Never seen such professional
solders as the Germans.

Tell me you weren't an office and that you worked for
a living!

God no! I was a grunt. A green maggot

And why are there regulations to disarm all the
guys at military bases?

When I was stationed in Germany with the Air Force,
one Security Policeman got bored, played spin the
barrel with his 38 and shot himself. Another
got treed by a German walking his dogs and unloaded
on the dogs with his M16. (Justified in my opinion.)

So, our officer corp was made up of Liberal Arts
majors that could not make it as a taxi cab driver,
so they became officers in the Air Force. And
2 + 2 = 3.5 or was that 22? Anyway, our Security
Policeman had empty revolvers and M16's with
empty magazines.

To answer your question: IDIOTS ALL AROUND.

You are talking about the security police not having ammo,
as was the case when I was in the Air Force in the 70's.

Stormin' and I are talking about having every soldier in
uniform carry at least a LOADED side arm. Like the
Israeli army does. Then these ass holes would go looking
for another gun free zone, like a theater or a school.

As the Islamists start slowly trickling into America,
our unarmed soldiers will be more and more of a target.

As the Islam fighters figure out that we're not going
to do much about it, the rate and incidence of assaults
on our troops is likely to increase.

Hi Oren,

Thank goodness. You sounded to rational to be an officer.
All is right with the world.

I'm familiar with the penalty box. It is funny when people try to tame
me. It don't work out so well for them.

When I worked in management, my staff was treated with respect and
dignity. Even got put back in the box a few times..

I think those came later, after Cavebillies used assault rocks.

Oren, I know that you are quite knowledgeable about firearms so perhaps
you could clear up something that I find a bit confusing. I'm wondering
what part of a gun is "the asshole"? Would that be the ejection port
where the gun eliminates spent cartridges or the barrel where a lot of
crap can come out?

It's the idiot that "acquires" the firearm then proceeds to use it
unlawfully by getting a grip on it.

It's much like when I see a the headline, "Man Shot
In Parking Lot". This has always lead me to wonder what part of human
anatomy is "The Parking Lot"? o_O

The asshole part of the posting above.

Actually, the "ass hole" is not part of a firearm. The ass hole is
some fool that decides he can kiss and suck on my gun barrel. The
barrel is one part of the gun, though. Hope that clears up your
confusion...
