Grand Torino

I'm up to Episode 8 or 9. I can't believe I pulled two tours in that ####hole. The worst thing was coming back to the US and being treated like dog####. I vowed I'd never let that happen to the lads and was part of a meet, greet and thank group while spending several years in AZ for returning folks from the desert. God help me but I love every one of those young folks.

Welcome to TGO!

The third episode was tough.....that brought back a lot of memories. Our government was so stupid and everyone knew it but yet they persisted.

There are better ways to show or voice your grievances than alienating the fan base that pays your wages. You think they would be smarter than that but apparently not. Instead of pissing and moaning how about getting in to the inner cities and trying to make a difference. When the fans quit coming, stop buying apparel and TV revenues plummet we will see how much they make in the future. I know they won't be making it from me.

After watching the first episode it just reconfirmed my belief how ####ty we treat so called allies. We left Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese to rot after WWII. Instead of giving them what they needed we kissed the ring of the French and let them continue to rob the country of its resources and treat the Vietnamese like slaves. Shocking how Ho and his boys ended up hating us so much and taking the help of the Chinese and Russians instead. I never believed we had any business there in the first place and knew in my heart we would never win short of going nuclear. When my brother died on hill 881 I knew this was a pointless war. I served two tours there and I'm as hawkish as they come but after seeing first hand how people died taking hills and valleys and just turned around and gave it back over and over again. Over 56 thousand US Troops died and millions of Vietnamese as well for frickin' what? All these years later and my wonderful country that I served for 26 years still makes me so mad it's unbelievable sometimes. There is no sense of loyalty or doing what is right by people in the higher ups and civilian government. It's all crony politics, money, power and lies. Forgive me...I'm rambling but dammit I hated that war and every totally wrong thing we did there. Nothing much pisses me off anymore but this.....this....well still kinda does.

Me too.

Made from 3/16" thick 1095 carbon steel differentially heat treated to show a hamon. IPE contoured handles for a great fit with mosaic pins...this thing is a beast.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha......

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to TGO.

Well I had to look it up so.......no.

Sorry sir.....I've been there and it's tough.

Very nice. Many moons ago I could have had one for practically nothing but did I get it? Noooooooo.....

Sounds pretty sweet. I'd be interested in hearing from you once you get it up and running.

Extremist groups need to go at it with each other...you know like Shiites and Sunnis. We should fly them out to a remote piece of desert and arm them to the teeth and make it clear no one comes out without a clear cut victory.

I force myself not to load up my two dogs with treats so they don't get overweight. I know in the long run it's better for them but doggone it they are part of the family and as loyal as can be. Luckily they both love the ball and frisbee and don't have enough sense to quit so they get quit the workout to earn their treats. Take care of your pup.

Yeah...me too.

Guns are from the devil...I'd never consider owning one.

That sir....is awesome!!!

Street and security lights came on and the frogs started making their noises as well as crickets. about 10-15 minutes before totality I got pictures of the sun filtered through the trees on to the ground and you can plainly see it acted like a pin hole and projected all these crescent shapes on the lawn.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/16/ny-police-seize-veterans-guns-after-order-deems-him-wrongfully-as-mentally-defective.html Don Hall and his girlfriend were sitting in their living room earlier this year when they noticed police lights flashing outside the couple’s upstate New York home. When the 70-year-old Army veteran greeted Oneida County sheriff’s deputies he was given a document saying that Hall had to hand over his six guns – four long guns and two pistols -- to law enforcement because he had been deemed “mentally defective.” The so-called SAFE Act, which was implemented in 2013 in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, includes a provision that allows heath care providers to report patients that they think may be a risk to themselves or others. In Hall’s case, however, the sheriff’s deputies were wrong. He hadn’t triggered an order under the SAFE Act. Read more.
