According to the Military Times, the US Marines are looking to officially pick up an off the shelf 1911 for it’s MARSOC program. The choice is between the Colt Rail Gun and the Springfield MC Operator. Between the two, I’d pick the Springfield in a heartbeat. Springfield has shown consistent quality control and a commitment …
Iran looks like it wants to tussle. The US is more than game. Iraq was more of a threat, and we rolled them in a matter of hours. Iran will take less time. Unless we station troops and move in and try to set up housekeeping. I’d suggest a blitzkrieg, sink their ships, demolish their …
There is one Aircraft that the US has that outshines all others. There is a lot of gnashing of teeth over the loss of the F-22 program and the failings of the F-35 program… we’ve retired the F-15 and F-14′s… But we still have these… and they work harder and pull more duties than any …

The violence in Libya is horrid and unfortunate… and it saddens anyone with even a small strain of humanity that a government would attack its own people. Because of this, there has been talk of a US intervention. This is a bad idea.
You’ve all heard the news about the 2 soldiers that were killed in Germany. I’m not going to go into all that… save for one small little detail. Our soldiers were unarmed.
