    +1

    I think a useful analogy may (or may not) be those U.S. Army officers, NCOs and men that escaped into the Philippine jungle in 1942 and then carried on operations against the Japanese for 2+...

    I think this is accurate. Pakistan, like many places, was created with borders that don't match the demographic map. Job one for the central government is to keep the state from breaking up. To do...

    BUF(Bias Up Front) - I'm a committed Christian and believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.


    That said, one question:

    Just because you can't prove something does that mean it's not true?

    No one has taken up the "Wolverine Challenge"... most of the guys I teach are pretty smart:)

    I often tell my guys that the final exam for COIN/STAB ops instruction ought to be watching Red Dawn then devising a plan to get Jed and the Wolverines to like the Soviets and Cubans.

    Agreed on Germany recognizing U.S. CCWs. and I don't know anything about this shooting beyond the NYT piece. Should U.S.A.F.s crews carry (issue .gov) handguns? Probably be tough to get the...

    Thanks Stan - sounds like a delicious dinner. I think the Israeli approach to active shooters has a lot of merit - did some training with the IDF on related problems.

    Just to stir the pot a...

    Thanks Stan - hope the dinner went well. Appreciate the links. Have read most of the unclas .mil Fort Hood things I can get my hands on.

    Obviously this CCW issue is only part, maybe a small...

    Canoneer #4 - a few questions for you:

    1. Would honoring state CCWs on military installation reduce the FP posture of those installations?

    2. Does the fact that American police are generally...

    Jeff Cooper said danger, not variety, is the spice of life, so I'll take my chances if we get to meet.

    I hope you both have a great dinner - how's the chow in Estonia?
  16. To say that LEOs are automatically competent with...

    To say that LEOs are automatically competent with firearms and non LEO are automatically incompetent with firearms, short of some objective measure, seems to be a "some are more equal than others"...

    Agree competence, not rank, is the more important critieria. But I think there is the assumption on the part of some that if one is not an MP/LEO they are automatically either or both incompetent...

    No flame here. Substitute M16/M4/Galil/Tavor for M11 and this seems roughly the Israeli approach. All combat arms soldiers, and many support soldiers, are required to take their rifle and one or...
  19. How Can We Go About Getting State CCWs Recognized on DoD Installations?

    Though the tread has drifted at times (bow and machete toters:D. Tomahawks anyone?), it seems that there are a number of SWJ forum members that think there is merit in the letter's argument.

    How...

    I don't have a problem with commanders establishing common sense requirements above state CCW requirements. Examples might be:

    1. Be 21
    2. Be a corporal or above
    3. Qualify on the LEO or CID...

    I think 80% of the population can be trained to be competent with a handgun with 40 hours of instruction and 1000-1500 rounds of ammunition. If competence is an issue, the post could link CCW for...

    I'm not the author of the Army Times letter, but I think the young SGT makes a strong point. Why does the State (Republic?) of Texas trust 21 year old soldiers more that the U.S. Army does? Is...

    Dumb idea. GEN Petraeus is serving the country superbly but the scale of forces involved does not compare to those under the command of Ike, Brad, and Mac. We don't make good company commanders...
