You do sound like a whiny little bitch. You had a less than stellar experience, that sucks. But you take your experience of 3.5 years and think you know how the Army actually is. It's like never leaving the city you were born in and know the rest of America is. Your chain of command obviously...
I didn't say legal. I did say accountable. That oversight makes a big difference when it come to dealing with the aftermath. The armed citizen could be acting completely logically and correctly and still end up as a defendant. All it takes is one LEO, administrator, prosecutor, or you name it to...
Neither do the lawfully armed citizens mentioned several times throughout this posting. What they do have is training, structure and most importantly accountability. If a legally armed citizen whom we'll call Bubba were to get involved and hit a bystander or shoot an undercover police officer or...
Your all nuts! A! Sorry I just cant do it. I have to look at myself in the mirror when I shave. I gave him an F. Everyone who gave him an A are his family, his cabinet, the D side of congress and the Taliban.

I like the ALICE pack with frame. It's comfortable with load over distance or as comfortable as anything with load can be. One piece of advice though ALICE pack are quite large and can hold allot of gear. Resist the temptation, just because you have all that room does not mean you have to use...
It's true there are only 11Bs and wanna be's. The 11Bs I've known (and there's been more than a few) are some of the most intelligent individuals I've had the pleasure of knowing. To be fair I've known quite a few that should have been researched as stem cells instead of being brought to term.:)...
Obama wants are guns. He was able to pass an unpopular spending package with almost no Republican support, what chance do are 2nd Amendment rights have? He cant outright change the Constitution, but he will try to make it so expensive to exercise our right to bear arms that we will gladly trade...
