I doubt it will occur in my lifetime but do consider that not everyone
lives on biscuits and gravy. Some are actually fit and they may even have
some training courtesy of Sam.

Next, consider topography. Kansas is a wet dream for the 21st century US
military. The Appalachians, including the ranges in NY, VT, NH, and ME,
the Rockies, the Sierras, not so much.  The US military got their ass
handed to them in the Korengal, eventually withdrew to the Green Zone, and
pretended it didn't exist. When i saw 'Restrepo' i thought 'Damn, that
looks like home!'

The police are a tossup. Is that the same police that gave up their house
in Seattle to a bunch of antifa types? Except for the John Brown Gun Club,
and I have some doubts about them, antifas typically aren't heavily armed.

 

I cut Biden a little slack for having just completed a number of
meetings with world leaders across the world, but others won't.

After a week of prep he should have been rested and loaded for bear. I
didn't watch the debate but quite a few X posts had video clips. I watched
a couple and really thought they must have been edited or faked somehow.
They weren't. While the people I follow skew to the right I do follow AOC,
Omar, Sanders, several of the local Democrats like Tester, William Gibson,
and so forth. Crickets. I think they were too busy deepening their
foxholes.

I don't even want to think about the proverbial 3AM phone call.

 
My opinion at the moment? We're f00ked. Welcome to Hungary.

Hungary is one of the saner European countries. I once knew a man who
promoted Hungarian brides and even ate his own dog food. Actually she was
a good cook so it was nice, spicy dog food. I took as pass. One wife was
enough.

Some are. Some saw the military as the only way out of Broken Dick
Alabama or were given the classic choice of 3 years in the county
lockup or the Army. Know any brig rats? They're the ones that can do 50
one handed pullups ....

 
I thought only Bruce Lee could do that!

No. There was a black guy who got cycled back in after a stay in the brig.
He wasn't too tall but he was solid muscle. I have no idea what his story
was. At least at that time the military was nominally integrated and
pretty much self-segregated in practice.
