Proxy wars give a distorted view on what a guerilla army can do. Resistance movements can be successful, but at a high cost. It's a nasty business. Some of these keyboard warriors think they are going to go toe to toe with regular military units. It's one thing to plant IEDs and snip through the bushes. It's something else to take your converted Jeep against tanks.

For example, it was easier to get weapons by stealing them from each other than taking from the Nazis. They did do a lot of good, especially during the D-day invasion.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-88312164284657240542019-03-26T17:31:35.489-04:002019-03-26T17:31:35.489-04:00Me?

I've made a living swinging a hammer most of my adult life, and have a fair amount of knowledge about the mater, yet hessitate to call myself a carpenter. It detracts from those more accomplished than me and sounds presumptuous. Labels like titles leads to expectations and being boxed in by other people's myopic perceptions and definitions. That is why I don't care for them. I don't like wearing them on my clothing nor applying them to myself. Other than PWT that is.... and that is only to make jest of myself and my own shortcomings.<br />Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-53474545181418966232019-03-26T10:25:59.010-04:002019-03-26T10:25:59.010-04:00While I'm not an avid survivalist, I'm gen...While I'm not an avid survivalist, I'm generally prepared for emergencies that do not require the services of the fire department or a team of EMTs and a meat wagon.<br /><br />In the fantastically unlikely case of an armed insurrection, I plan to keep my head down and my powder dry. I'm also reminded of the French Resistance in WWII, who helped the war effort by collecting intelligence and by sabotage.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-52097748377419190622019-03-26T08:39:34.982-04:002019-03-26T08:39:34.982-04:00And yet, SB - the gubbimint is scared spitless of ...And yet, SB - the gubbimint is scared spitless of guys just like you too. That is why they are trying to hang these derogatory labels on you. People that can fend for themselves are incredibly difficult to control. And while the military machine has little to fear from the gunnie in the lifted Jeep... it’s open season on the politicos that give them their orders if they should ever turn against the people. This is why the Democrats want to disarm everyone. <br /><br />I don’t like the crazies either, but just because they’re paranoid doesn’t mean we don’t have real enemies - foreign and domestic.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-7938463168809987062019-03-26T07:26:19.200-04:002019-03-26T07:26:19.200-04:00I call myself an Earth Muffin!
