  1. Or on a saltine. Vintage El Patio FTMFW.
  2. Must take you forever to cross the country on a bulldozer.
  3. My best trick was to be all self-deprecating when facing a new opponent, but when they said "fence" I'd sorta leap through the air and stab em in the face.
  4. I want to hear Trump's 'Nam stories.
  5. I was about the 5th rated fencer at my club for a while, if some of the really good guys stayed home.
  6. Before the war, I bet lots of Ukrainians had driven through adjacent parts of Russia, or maybe even lived there. PS: that destroyed column was described as "infantry", but they and the drivers could have been "any specialty including clerks n jerks that were told to get in the trucks." May have just been sitting ducks whether they made it to the front or not.
  7. Honestly I haven't thought about metals since the prices shot up. I am under spousal orders not to sell, and I think there's too much chance it'll go down again to buy.
  8. Wouldn't surprise me if whoever is in charge of the Russian counterattacks in Kursk has been told that their non-falling-out-of-window future depends on getting numbers to the front, period. Forget recon, security, plans, coordination, communication, reserves, any of that. Or even if they wanted to do any of that, their troops aren't trained to do it.
  9. I arch an eyebrow. If they aren't fencing epée, they are merely peasants sweating in the fields.
  10. 1. Congrats to the Mississippi Authorities for bringing him in even after he fled to his underwater lair. 2. Moley-moley mole mole mole.
  11. Speaking of which, I reckon in Kursk we are seeing Ukraine's best-trained troops against Russia's conscripts. Maybe the Akhmat boys will shoot a front-line TikTok, or Putin sends in a few of his Palace Guard. I doubt either of those have any combined arms experience either.
  12. True. But seeing as how they're not Russians, there's a good chance they thought about that, and made plans for it.
  13. My lifetime of training with Hot Wheels and Legos tells me that when that truck hits the gas it's gonna be Fun Times for Lawn Chair Boy's orthodonture.
  14. "We followed the rules and married someone we didn't love, why can't they."
  15. "Shut the fuck up Donnie." "You're like a child, Donnie." repeat as needed
  16. Well, they're not going to attack Ukraine now either.
  17. To bring it back on topic, I think I got it from wearing wet boots for a week in a monsooned-out Guard drill. At one point we were camped on top of our M113s trying to dry our rotting chigger-motel bodies in an hour of sunshine. Back to thread: Who thinks A. Ukrainians pull back bc it was basically a raid B. Ukrainians will let Russians assemble to counterattack, then blow in from both flanks with more stuff to encircle them C. Ukrainians will hold center, and attack on the left to overrun Belarus D. Something else (say what it is)
  18. Is that a toe fungus? If so, yeah.
  19. I had all the hippy smells except weed. Was probably sweating Celis.
  20. Yep yep yep. Get in there and force the Russians to counterattack on ground of your choosing.
  21. It's possible that the three of us stood in line together.
  22. The last person I want with his finger on the nukes is some damn poet.
  23. It's likely they bought the same cyborg brain in bulk, for the shipping discount.
