The Vickers Muzzle Attachment...

A boring treatise on an obscure topic... my specialty. You can blame Sezageoff for this - he's the one who didn't know about the early-style cones.

Take That Hitler er Merkel!

An old WWII 500 Lbs American GP Bomb was recently discovered in Munich. It lied asleep for almost 70 years. That's until it was dug-up in a construction site. Below is the video results of what happened when it went wakey-wakey. My apologies for those linguistically challenged Ver vídeo BOQ

Bill McRaven warned his troops, current and former, that he would take legal action against anyone found to have exposed sensitive information that could cause fellow forces harm.

...especially one who fell red in tooth and claw, teeth exposed in a yell of rage at the foe. Soldiers of the New Zealand 2nd/1st say goodbye, as Monty Python would put it, "In their idiom."
