âYou may think twice about starting to build your ark- after it has started raining!â
Max Brooks
Ready to go?
Or, merely âready for show?â
In an article from âIndustry Insider,â entitled, âMarine Corps following Army’s lead and looking to change its arsenal,â we see a photo of a soldier carrying a holstered SIG P320 (XM17) during âtests at Ft Braggâ
The pistol conspicuously has no magazine inserted!
In our extremely dangerous world, where the âfifth columnâof our assorted enemies is ever-present and routinely conducts low-tech, but deadly, attacks on citizens, police, and soldiers alike, in public places, on military bases, and everywhere else that can be imagined, is our own DOD culture, even under the new Administration, still one which obsessively, indeed fanatically, focuses upon ever keeping soldiers and loaded guns as far apart from one another as possible?
âCold gunsâ invariably result in the âcold bodiesâ of their bearers!
The foolishness of this outdated âcold rangeâ practice, along with manically risk-averse commanders who still obviously insist upon its continuation, I would think would be aggressively addressed by our new Secretary of Defense.
Apparently, not yet!
âOpportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes no time with the unprepared.â
