Kevin O’Brien Myers mugshot. Killeen PD via CNN. PFC Patrick Myers had a brilliant idea of how to cure his Army buddy, PFC Isaac Young’s, bad case of the hiccups. Just scare the living daylights out of him with a gun! You know where we’re going with this. Sure enough, Myers ND’d the gun. A single shot …
It sure looks like the Hudson River ditching and subsequent rescue of all passengers and crew that captivated Americans a few years ago. But the belching smokestacks and polluted sky should be a giveaway — this is an emergency response exercise in Shanghai, China. The plane is a mock-up purpose-built for the exercise Over 150 …
What was “the greatest gun ever”? Ted Nugent says… Love him or not, you can’t ignore Ted Nugent. (Well, you can, and we did, take time getting around to blog one of his columns… this one’s from early July. But you can’t ignore him).

Everyone has had an opinion on the Colorado shooting while we were dealing with real-world SOF stuff. (And, to be sure, visiting with old friends).

The black Africans in the south, a national majority who have dominated Malian politics and institutions, don’t blend with the Arabs and …

It is little visited by the public (and it is currently scheduled to be torn down and reconstructed elsewhere on post as the SF, Civil Affairs/Military Government, and Psyops/Military Information Support tri-regimental museum).

Unless you’ve been under a rock (like we were last week… and will be next… sigh) you’ve heard about the guy who made an AR-15 lower receiver on a 3D printer. We’ve been making noises for a while about the coming of desktop gun manufacturing, and now it’s come to pass. The picture shows the …
