thought for the day

Posts that don't fit into any other category. If it's anything to do with guns, it probably doesn't belong here!

Much of what looks like rudeness is not intended to give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bullshit communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy.

An Army Officer updated at a meeting - "Gentlemen, enemy has surrounded us completely (sic)" A hush descended. "Good", said one of the assembled loud and clear , "now we are free to attack any direction we choose".

Holding the rifle in the ten ring over 10 seconds and then fire a nine is not uncommon.

"Every Independent Country is in danger precisely because it's Independent. As long as it's a Colony of some Power, that Power will defend it; but once independent, only that country will have to defend and fight for itself. For that you have to be very strong militarily". - Veer Savarkar in 1950s giving his views on Nehru's threat to dismantle Indian military as Nehru stated India had no aggressive enemies and that Communist China would actually defend India!!!

Nehru had earlier stated that in the world there was only Yudh (War) or Budh (Peace) and that India stood for Budh. Veer Savarkar retorted that "We all know that there are Yudh and Budh in the world - we don't need any Nirbudh (Fools) to tell us that." - and went on to offer the above explanation.
