my dear Kathy ...........AWWW, schweet!
(micro, I sent you an email. Did you receive it?)
I can resend - it has my AB name in the subject line)

do not fret over the vermin who are out in force. There are those who think they know how to fight and then, there are those who have actually fought multiple times in real live fights that were life and death.
Well, micro, the tawkers annoy me. I have done much reading about Viet Nam. You and ribit are very special to me. Rough time for this country and it makes the news of today seem meaningless, imo. I have always wanted to ask you if you visited the DC wall. Starts out slowly but becomes overwhelming as you make your way down...yes, it's on an incline. Very emotional and I mean VERY.

After all of the above you have the Marines. It is never wise or prudent to mess with current Marines in Uniform, physically fit and ready for battle. While the 2 former active duty Marines here are no longer in tip top shape, they, like so many others of us, are still able to fight better than most . So don't worry about the loud mouths.
I would feel better if you lived next-door! We went to Parris Island and watched some of the training there. I slept well that night! Whew, rough stuff, imo

The Navy Seals trained off of Anna Maria Island in Fl and I think they still do. I would go to the beach all times of the day and night to see if I could check them out. Duh, I was told that the purpose of them training there was not to be seen.

pesky civilian gun owners....
yep, and I am going to be one of them. I'll probably stink at it, but I really want to learn.

They will become "runners" when the SHTF.
No doubt.
