Hope he makes it and gets national attention....he has biker length hair and probably has it a ponytail sometimes. That should look good on the House floor. His open letter video is smash-mouth....It'll be required viewing if he ever gets on one of the Sunday shows... Here's the vid on Powerline Blo...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-Totenkopfverbände It looks like Kurt Franz was a member of a 'special' SS wing called the TotenKopfVerbande The Deaths Head Group. They has specific control of the Extermination camps. My dad interrogated prisoners (officers would be a priority) who were recently capt...

I've shot USPSA at Oakdale for a couple of years now so I can visualize the layout. Let me see if I've got this right: I'm assuming we would be at one of the longer ranges. There would be a dozen to 20 guys with 30-40 firearms. Each person would bring some ammo for their guns. If I wanted to shoot s...

@Minnhawk. I imagine a General in the actual Darkroom where the film was developed looking over 3 sheets of Contact prints of 35mm film and realizing at that point in the war photos of horrifically injured teenaged American boys would serve no purpose to anyone anywhere and he made a phone call and ...

Good Post Minnhawk. We need a thanks button on this forum. Some have them. A great post will get a dozen or more 'thanks' My dad was a German interpreter and interrogated actual Nazis. SS guys and almost did a shiver when talking about them as if he had been in the presence of Non-Human Satanic Ghou...

Another feature of this forum is RADICAL thread drift. It will wind up being about 3D printing of AR-15s shortly. Still looking for reference for a stat on how many families had 5 or more men in Uniform during WW2. Can not believe the number of families with 10 children back then. These days 4 kids ...

Tman, just an illustration of why Robert Capa's D-Day images were destroyed....there would be no benefit to the War effort in showing a dead body of a 19 year old boy floating in the waves with his intestines blown away. If images like that were available it would have hurt morale. I'm a professiona...

The photographer who took my parents wedding photos was Japanese-American, spent the war in a camp in New Mexico with his family. My family was very distressed by this but it was a different time. The racial prejudice against the Japs was white hot. Google Rape of Nanking http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

In my opinion the photos of Normandy taken by Robert Capa were intentionally destroyed by a General in the Intelligence area. He took 106 pictures and only 11 survived. They allegedly were burned in the film dryer. Baloney. I think they didn't want exploded inside out bodies on the front page of Lif...

If for some reason you wanted to get really pissed off. Tune in to the Headline News Channel (host of Nancy Grace Show) They're turning this into a parody of the stupid-est possible TV game / info-tainment show imaginable. You've been warned. They just opened a 'Suprise Box" and in it was a bat...

Hey, here's the whole movie on YouTube.

Saving Private Ryan even though made by Spielberg and acted by Tom Hanks is excellent.

I want to shoot phone books and 2x4's just to see what the bullets I shoot can really do.

To clarify, the fictional movie, Saving Private Ryan was loosely based on the Nyland brothers, not the Sullivans. Two of the Nyland brothers died at Utah Beach and one in Burma. The remaining Fritz Nyland was an NCO in the 101st. He was not "rescued" but was indeed sent home to his mother...

Hey guys, I am still really new to shooting pistol, and have never been to one of these things. It appears that I missed any of the orientation stuff, but I was wondering if I could still come out anyway to check things out see how this stuff is put together and whatnot. It looks like a lot of fun!...
