Black Rifle Coffees' tribute to Gold Star Mother's Day
Follow their Instagram Page here!

| This was the last image sent by SSG Ryan Knauss to his mother, two days before he was killed in action in Kabul alongside 12 fellow service members selflessly helping during the military's final days in Afghanistan. This image is a somber reminder of the heavy sacrifice so many families bear on their shoulders. Today, Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we remember that sacrifice. Use this day as a reminder in moving forward throughout the year — honor our gold star families however you can. Show them love, compassion, and offer them a steadfast presence if they want it. Show up. Do the best you can with what you have. To all our beloved gold star families out there, we love you and support you. May you find some measure of peace as we all move forward but never move on. Poem by @lesgingerables |

Protests in Paris over mandatory vaccinations & health passes.
This is not ending well. We followed the Chinese example at the start of this thing and govt's haven't looked back.Hundreds of demonstrators, including ‘Yellow Vests,’ are rallying on the streets of Paris to denounce the health pass and mandatory vaccination. An estimated 60,000 people have joined similar protests throughout France. pic.twitter.com/an8klCxkIO

The Chinese can do things in a controlled society that just won't fly in the free world.
Govt's need to re-think their approaches to this thing or we'll see a new round of leaders being dismissed because of Covid.
Because of covid and the economy we can expect to see govts lurch from left to right and back again.
We could be entering the most politically unstable period of our lifetimes during the next few years.

Remember me whining about my library? I'm just gonna dump them on the Marine Corps High School ROTC OIC and make him deal with it!
Remember my post (here) where I was whining about throwing away my library?
Well after much thought and considering plenty of options given to me by you guys, I've decided to pack them up, dump them on the Marine Corps High School ROTC OIC in my area and have him deal with it.
I'm gonna dazzle him with bullshit, recount that boot camp story and have him grab a few of his poolees (what do you call those bubbas?) and make him deal with it.
At the end of the day I'm sure he has better contacts than I do and maybe HQMC has something setup to deal with this issue.
God knows I can't be the first to have this pop-up!
Thanks ya'll. The idea of just trashing all these books was making my eyes bleed. I stepped back from the ledge.
PNS Hangor & HMS Conqueror...The only two Submarines that have sunk ships since 1945
via War History Online
PNS Hangor would be the first submarine to sink an enemy ship since 1945. In late November 1971, the Pakistani submarine was dispatched into the Arabian Sea, where she discovered a large group of ships from the Indian Navy. She maintained her distance from the vessels and investigated their communications. Over the next few days, the Indian Navy would learn of PNS Hangor’s presence and sent two British-made frigates to find her.
PNS Hangor was a French-made Daphne-class submarine. She was 200 ft long and armed with twelve 550 mm torpedo tubes.
On December 9, PNS Hangor detected the two frigates approaching her and dived deep until they came into torpedo range. Once they were in range, Hangor fired a homing torpedo at one of the frigates, INS Kirpan, which missed. Kirpan hightailed it away from Hangor as soon as they realized they were being targeted. Meanwhile, the second frigate, INS Khukri, barrelled towards the submarine in an attempt to sink it, however, Hangor fired a second torpedo at Khukri, which hit.
This torpedo dealt a fatal blow to the Khukri, which sank in mere minutes, claiming the lives of 18 officers and 176 sailors. Kirpan returned for another attack, which Hangor responded to with a third torpedo. This failed to stop Kirpan but caused the Indian frigate to flee.
After the engagement, the Indian Navy launched a huge search and destroy mission to find and sink Hangor, but the submarine reached safe waters after remaining submerged for almost a week.
Today, PNS Hangor is on display at the Pakistan Maritime Museum, Karachi, Pakistan.
