When he saw two men pry into his neighbor's house with a crowbar this month, Joe Horn did what many people would do: He called 911. But when police had not shown up by the time the suspects were about to leave, the 61-year-old retiree did something most people probably would not: He put down the pho...

Grumpy Old men...........Hobbit and Old Grunt The nerve of you young whippersnappers! Here I am, rapidly approaching my golden years, and all I get is sassy mouth from some wet behind the ears kid. Back when I was your age if we wanted to watch a movie we had to walk 12 miles through the snow, uphi...

Welcome!
I don't know if you are the same person, but I invited one of the daughters of a Ranger to come and visit us at the RR.
If so, then what took you so long?
If not, then by all means , welcome anyway!

Being a big Sci-Fi fan, I keep up with as much of this stuff as I have the time for and cribbing a plot (just loosely enough to avoid a plagiarism suit) seems to happen a lot. In addition to Alien, "Predator" seems awfully close to "Without Warning" a 70's made for tv movie with ...

It seems to be in the same family as the "Lady slipper" which lures insects the same way. IMO, O'Bannon is bs'ng. He cribbed the script from Jerome Bixby who wrote the screenplay for "It! The Terror from Beyond Space), back in the 50's. Exact same plot as "Alien", just a sma...

Jarhead, that's a badge that would put the fear of God in any Grunt! The coveted EPB!
It's almost as scary as the dreaded Spoon o' Death Badge issued to the cooks at Ft Jackson.

Oh, and welcome!

A parable to live by! I took the liberty of reposting this on a site frequented by a number of bleeding heart liberals (giving full credit to Ranger Fleshthorn and citing ArmyRanger.com of course). Thank you Ranger Fleshthorn for (no doubt) giving me hours of fun sniping at the red diaper weenies wh...

I find it hard to believe that people can be so fucking stupid to side with a political party that doesn't believe in global warming just because it limits big business making money................... I'm not sure what you mean by this. There are no "global warming deniers"; this is a pro...

Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, the "Peace" prize is meaningless IMO. Look at some of the previous recipients such as Yassir Arafat, Le Duc Tho, and Kofi Anan. Global warming is a fact. It has been occurring since the solar system was formed. It is caused by a number of factors and occurs n...

Esprit de corps comes from within, not from without. The magnet attracts the steel, not the other way around. The Rangers and the Marines have high esprit de corps because they attract those who already have the desire to belong; they inspire, they do not create. If you possess a high esprit de corp...

I didn't take the test, I don't need to. I have a .45 that goes with me to work, and a Mossie 12 Ga for entertaining unannounced guests at home. If the shit hits the fan, I also have a small but very sharp knife and a number of neighbors with neat gun collections and very little in the way of street...

Chou anh, trung si! Glad to see another FOG drifting in.
Sorry, no nouc mam here, but there's a couple of cold Ba Mui Ba's in the fridge. Help yourself!

Welcome home!

You decide.

JIm, have you read Alfred Coppel's, "The Burning Mountan"? It's a fictional novel that deals with just this subject.

Young soldier-to-be, I’ve spent a great portion of my life hunting men, and the key to that profession is to determine what is in their minds, and therefore their hearts, by listening to their words. What is said is what is meant, although that is not always the intent of the speaker. Consider tha...
