One has to be careful of leftist revisionists and their "history". Take that mess of a book and its purposeful re-telling of American History A People's History of the United States with his liberal, Marxist leaning rhetoric. A lot of people get their information from such purposefully po...

For what it's worth, I think the US killed the wrong guy. If they could have killed Tojo (which would have been much harder) there is some (small) chance that Yamamoto could have taken over the politics and ended the war. Perhaps that's true but IMO after Pearl Harbor and then the Japanese treatmen...

There is some argument as to whether this was legally a military battle or a targeted political assassination. I agree that some try to argue that but they are usually left leaning academics. There was nothing wrong legally or morally then or now with the decision to target the enemies command stru...

I have a handy Dozier New York Special that would be perfect if it had a small guard to keep the fingers from running up the blade in adrenaline fueled emergencies. That would make it perfect carried small of back.

A Late happy birthday Mac. Have a safe and healthy next year.

Again, the issue was "big" enough at some point for Spyderco to invent the stop pin. That 's what they do. They always try to make better knives with new and better steel. It's what brought many of us here. I don't want a stop pin in my knife. I would like them to make them for guys that ...

Yeah I thought that most of mine didn't have any lock rock either. It's there. You're just not pushing hard enough. If you don't feel it push harder Yep. That is my experience with them. I have examples from most manufacturers somewhere here in boxes but I always go back to Enduras. People already ...

A stop pin could put a stop — not only to the lock rock, but also to the complaints. A stop pin would make it a different lock therefore a different knife at a different price. I don't want that knife. I want them exactly as they are now. No newer or more expensive models for me. I have carried the...

All lockbacks will have some movement. It's part of the design. I have Seki lockbacks using the same geometry and design now over 30 years old and still going strong. The knives haven't changed IMO going by my latest Endura in M4. They are what they are. Buy them or not. I keep on buying new ones an...

A lot of that garbage is conspiracy theories to cater to certain groups programing them to make them feel better. :eye-roll Propaganda is a powerful tool. No Jim, not garbage or propaganda but news that is still available with a search engine. It does sound like conspiracy theory stuff on a late ni...

All Chem and bio weapons weren't designed to kill . Even the most lethal of the biologic s that were designed to be were not 100% fatal. Scientists looking at the genetics of COVID quite clearly stated it was artificially enhanced to make it more communicable. We know where it came from so it was ei...

Jim, we are NBC ( or at least BC) free and so are Russia and china. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/07/1186550955/the-world-is-officially-free-of-chemical-weapons-heres-what-that-means The 30,000 tons we alone held are now gone. We had the last of them supposedly. If an attack is done now it wouldn't be...

Read voraciously. Don't be lied too. Read what everyone says. Best advice anyone can give. There are often more than two sides to a story. Most things published now are written to influence the reader. And they have links to the source so all the boxes are checked. You can find all kinds of papers ...

Newsweek has long stopped being journalists and gone to clickbait garbage. I remember when they at least tried.

LC 200n Salt SE . I'm not a stainless guy but I recall being outdoors and wet for weeks at a time in the army. Weighed down like mules as well. I didn't have time for sharpening and probably would not have carried any sharpening equipment.

I got mine this afternoon in the mail. I'm not thrilled about the color but it won't stop me from using and enjoying this version. I'm an Endura guy and I have liked M4 since I first tried it. It's not really bad at anything and it takes a nice edge pretty easily. I won't go out of my way to think u...

From what I've read, your analysis aligns with informed sources I've encountered. However there appears to be a great desire among people (or at least Americans) to believe that nuclear war is "unsurvivable" and "the end." I can't help but think of Frank Kermode's book, "Se...

According to many experts the nuclear winter issue was exaggerated much like "climate change' is now for political purposes. That was at a time when the one side had 37 thousand and the other 35 thousand warheads. We are at the 3 thousand warhead total number of warheads here in the USA and Rus...

I agree that a nuclear attack is more survivable than most people think. It all depends on your location and luck as well as what actions you take. Most targets will be hit with air bursts which produce much less fallout. If it's an old soviet union style attack on IBM fields where each silo is targ...
