The NY Post has a great cover pic of a young Marine smoking a cigarette....titled SMOKIN......I'd post it, if I knew how...
Yes,.....thanks....there's a thread on it now and Fox & Friends showed it earlier this a.m...
I LOVE MACHO MEN IN UNIFORM!!!!!
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. I'm relatively safe compared to our troops over in Fallujah and we are all praying for them from here.
Your words are especially comforting, especially in light of some people whom I thought were friends deciding that I'm living the high life here and telling me I am of no value to our troops.
God bless you.
Are you serious? They weren't friends at all to say that.
Who told you that?!!!!....

The M136 AT4 is the Army's primary light anti-tank weapon. The M136 AT4 is a recoilless rifle used primarily by Infantry Forces for engagement and defeat of light armor. The recoilless rifle design permits accurate delivery of an 84mm High Explosive Anti-Armor warhead, with negligible recoil. The M136 AT4 is a lightweight, self-contained, antiarmor weapon consisting of a free-flight, fin-stabilized, rocket-type cartridge packed in an expendable, one-piece, fiberglass-wrapped tube. The M136 AT4 is man-portable and is fired from the right shoulder only. The launcher is watertight for ease of transportation and storage. Unlike the M72-series LAW, the M136 AT4 launcher need not be extended before firing. Though the M136 AT4 can be employed in limited visibility, the firer must be able to see and identify the target and estimate the range to it. Subsequent to the initial fielding of the weapon, a reusable night sight bracket was developed and fielded. It permits utilization of standard night vision equipment. The system's tactical engagement range is 250 meters and has been used in multiple combat situations. The round of ammunition is self-contained in a disposable launch tube. The system weighs 15 pounds and can be utilized effectively with minimal training.
