The Longest Day

PIN,

I don't think he was ready for the question.

Marines, maybe Army too, have a proposal out to buy suppressed weapons. Based on SF and close-combat situations, not giving up your position with a loud round is thought to be something to avoid.

In fact I posted this article tonight:

http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2019/6/5/just-in-new-marine-corps-infantry-weapons-on-the-horizon

"Another area of interest is a new suppressor for rifles. The Marine Corps is planning to release a request for proposals to industry, Hough added.

“The intent is to suppress every M4, M4A1 and M27 in the infantry community,” he said. “Our intent there is to move quickly and find the best possible suppressor we can that is good enough in order to move out in a quick enough fashion.”

The Marine Corps plans to award a contract for a suppressor by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, he noted."

Quiet weapons for close in assaults sounds like a good idea to me. Stealth over loud suppressive fire whose direction can be ascertained.

One more way to go stealth. No reports of gunshots, nothing to focus on.

[jim nj]

The alternative is to use sub-sonic ammo. No sonic boom. Less noise. Not enough power to kill at a distance, but lethal at close range.

It's a logical extension of military arms. The development of smokeless powder so your position wasn't obvious by the cloud of smoke rising from your position. Flash suppressors so your position wasn't given away by the fire erupting from your rifle.

Suppressed weapons sound like the next stealth advancement.

This sounds like peer-to peer warfare with no chance to bring in counter-fire from indirect weapons like mortars and artillery.

rse, re: your mom and dad.
Solid studies show early death from cardiovascular events for caregivers--your very stressed momma. So your concern for her is warranted.

My pitch for those like her who see it as some kind of moral failing--it is about HIS safety. He is NOT safe at home with her, where there is only one adult. Besides physical safety--having two adults available for showers, as an example--more social contact may well be a big benefit to him as well.

These places are NOT the warehouse of your mother's young adulthood. Many employ very caring people. I know you will find a good one for your dad.

I too was about to get legal intervention (?Power of attorney) to keep my mother from going down with my father, who suffered from treatment refractory depression for over a decade, and was becoming physically impaired from deconditioning. HIs diagnosis of Stage Four lung cancer proved to be a gift from God. Perked him up too!

The sergeant later was one of the first of the company into the southern gate of Dachau. Didn’t mention it until in 1995 he decided the next generation needed to know the cruelty of the Germans against the Jews.

I never heard a word from any of my five uncles, until the youngest one returned to Normandy--maybe for the 60th anniversary? But only when we'd ask him.
Even my cousins who were their children say they almost never spoke of it at home.

{{“I was doing a shoot in the park the other day and someone shouted at me, ‘I’m sick of watching you. We built this country. I can’t wait for CNN to fire your black a--, you f----t,'” he recalled, according to Deadline.}}

The only part that Wittle Dawn left out, is that he was eating a Subway sandwich, and the guy had a MAGA hat on.

Kill two people and get 60 days? Ridiculously low sentence.

“A judge gave Olson a 60-day jail sentence, which can be served 20 days annually for the next three years. She also was ordered to give 25 lectures on distracted driving during a three-year probationary term after pleading guilty to felony criminal vehicular homicide and gross misdemeanor reckless driving.

The teen also is barred from driving for the next three years and must pay more than $7,000 in restitution. As part of a plea agreement, Olson’s felony conviction will be dismissed if she completes all of her sentencing requirements, the Star Tribune reported.”

I know it's unpopular to be optimistic, but I have to say that the report of a 45 minute recorded conversation between Rep. Schiff and Valerie Jarrett signals to me that the administration has been very careful in trying to build airtight cases against everyone involved.

The President's tweeting serves as a reminder that no one is letting the story and the many threads go.

Back in public school central, a group of pissed off parents managed to unseat a multi-term school board member with a write-in candidate here in Ithaca. Between restorative justice and dropping accelerated math for middle schoolers, parents united and caused a small tsunami and more than a few headaches for the administration.

Too bad.

[MissMarple2]

anonamom,

Last night I listened to this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOmJx8mTnm8

What struck me is his discussion of how people need a narrative to follow, because they want to believe they are working for a higher purpose. They need to feel there is a goal and that they are doing good.

What your video is talking about sort of highlights the same thing as what happens to college kids. They enter school with a vision and get professors who systematically go after religion, American exceptionalism, their families, etc. They are left feeling like everything is pointless.

This is probably why they end up in that stupid Resistance thing.

She has benefitted, like many young people of privilege, from her parents' wealth and/or position, yet it has also limited her ability to travel through life incognito. I'm prepared to give her some space and let her live her life, as long as she chooses that kind of role.
