Do you ever get tires of hearing your own voice? YOu should try not sounding like a complete jerk and maybe someone may take you serious.
Thank you for the name calling, that is in THEHIGHROADS best tradition. And over the years, many folks took me very seriously.
I am glad you are reading what I am sending.
If you notice my posts about most things are pretty consistent. Why, some one capable of critical thinking may ask?
BECAUSE THE BASICS OF THESE THINGS IN SHOOTING AND COMBAT DO NOT CHANGE. The may evolve, slowly, but they do not change quickly or much. No matter what TV program or movie you saw last week or what gun you just bought or want to buy this month.
Note that most of my posts reference many of the leading people and authorities in America on what ever the subject is at hand. Who would you recommend we quote? Some body "kool" or someone who is knowledgeable and experienced about gun fighting, ballistics, and such. Some one with REAL AND OFTEN EXTENSIVE COMBAT EXPERIENCE?
At one time one of my assignments in the military was as a Marine DI, this was after two years of combat. Repeating the same information for each new group of recruits was the norm, not the exception. Just cause I said it last week, doesn't mean that this week's crop of eager and ignorant minds needs that information too.
For the sake of this discussion, we will not discuss those who choose not to learn.
I approach it the same here on The High Road. Every week some body asks the same or similar questions. Some times with a different veneer, but essentially the same question. The answers don't change to keep some one ignorant of the facts of these things happy. I AIN'T A LIBERAL. I deal in facts. That is one very big reason I have survived all my firefights.
I guess some of you folks want answers that you agree with. It don't work that way in the real world. That is why the same guns and calibers tend to come to the fore, over and over again, basic tactics never change either. Time will tell us which of the NEW super guns will be the hot go to weapon in 10 or 20 years. It takes time. War does speed that process up a bunch, but doesn't cover all of the newer weapons that will succeed and those that will not do the mission as well.
The fundamentals never seem to change. Read Clausewitz, Napoleon, or Sun Tzu. The fundamentals don't change. Hence the tactical applications should not change either.
In fact many people like you do believe it is boring, “unKool“, or some other negative term. I don't.
If that makes me a “complete jerk“, Then I am an alive “Complete jerk“. My question is what does that make you? I will use the term uninformed, because we are on TheHighRoad, but most importantly, will we call you alive after your first firefight?
Go figure.
