Tank Country - Page 3

Oh, man! I was already upset enough this weekend.

IDCC · 05-25-2008

WOLVERINES!!! Can you imagine a tank column on 150 beween French Lick/West Baden and Shoals or 450 between Shoals and Bedford?? Especially with the ever increasing number of Combat Vets in the area.

If they think they are horrified by their own government actions, they will not be able to comprehend the evil they would unleash by attacking civilians. They think a no knock warrant is scary, but dont compare when the entire city is out for THEIR blood. When the government, not matter what level, thinks of their own subjects as criminals or terrorists, that is what they will get. Humanity has as much cruelty as imagination, and I have a REAL VIVID ONE! Im not promoting violence, but when the government denies us certain things that were granted to us in the social contracts we have drawn up at the inception of this nation state, then claims that our own "elected" officials think its for our own good, then that dog just wont hunt. Contract violation in my book is similar to cowardice and an open disregard for citizen's lives. One day, and even soon, they will consider us terrorists or agents of destruction. Tanks may be cruising the streets, but most likely not. But the idea that they would consider deploying one rifle against the citizenry, is utterly disgusting in my mind. Dont "fight it out in your homes". We dont need martyrs, we need able bodies and rifles fielded. Martyrdom is for religious nut jobs and Robert Deniro in Taxi Driver, not a patriot. "My memory will live on with my death" crap is for the weak minded who cant understand that there not just tactics, but STRATEGY. Sorry for sounding like a nutjob, but I just get upset whenever I hear about Waco or similar, not because I identify with that fruitcake, but because of the government's overreaction of late to anything.

Great flick! Not a fan of movies in general, but man, that was a hoot!

The old quotation seems to come to mind...

Kirk you have it right. "As the USMC says "hunting tanks is fun and easy". "
If you are wanting to stop tanks. You guys are thinking of stopping the wrong vehicles. It is much easier to stop the logdogs and then the tanks are useless. Tanks do not drive very far minus fuel and food for their crews.

Only a very cherry officer manuvures tanks minus infantry. Combined arms rules the battlefields!

Funny but might actually HELP.

If we go against our own military, play it like Red Dawn. If it's a Red Dawn TYPE scenario, guerrilla warfare the hell outta their supply lines. As I was told and agree with, FELT, not SEEN.

To the original question, it's only tank country when a farmer can get a tractor in the field. Dry or forzen ground.

jeremy · 06-10-2008

On that note Glock21. A person with a little knowledge of the township/ county they live in, could turn prime dry land back into swamp here in the north central part of the state at least. Even in a fairly dry year.

There are alot of open drainage ditches here. Ever seen what happens when a fields drainage tile is plugged?
