Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, War, What’s It Good For? We have only seen a handful of movies in a theater over the last decade.

My Every Day Carry
Recovering from the Flu this week. So a post Sunshine Shooter and his blog will be doing some of the work for me today. Enjoy his old post about what he carries everyday. ( He should be ashamed of that gun). I consider my EDC to be a relatively minimalist setup, compared to most peopleContinue reading “My Every Day Carry”
Retaining the M1911A1 – The Final DOD Holdouts
After the adoption of the 9mm M9 in 1985, some special units within the DOD were loath to give up their .45 M1911A1 pistols.
WeaponsMan: The Big Lie About Wanat (COP Kahler), Part 2 of 2
In the enormous1 part one of the series, we reacted to a brain-dead article published in The Atlantic by a retired Major General, who has, since his retirement 20+ years ago, been a lobbyist for defense firms and TV talking head.

Army Surplus ( The Good Old Days)
Even in the 1980s I recall how cheap WW2 and Vietnam war items were at Charlie Albert’s Army/Navy at local burg. Those days are long gone. I miss the smell of a surplus store. That smell of old OD green cotton canvas. That smell was great. Very unique. I bet at least some of youContinue reading “Army Surplus ( The Good Old Days)”
