This guy sucks, obviously. But as far as doing opposition research, or learning small unit tactics goes, its as good as we’re gonna get. CW; amerikkkan troop.

    The manuals are worth a whole lot. I learned hand to hand from a serious marine corp killer family member, manuals, and regular martial arts like kung fu and taekwondo. It’s kept me from getting killed in a bunch of gnarly situations. Including, on separate occasions, mace, razor knives, regular knives, and people who were hell bent on fucking me up. I never lost, not once. Never got cut, either.

      One of the benefits of military family is when we turn out leftist there’s now a leftist who knows survival, marksmanship, self defense, ect.

      I didn’t take up the offer of teaching MCMAP stuff until after somebody did fuck me up, but it was nice having the resource as a confidence booster for dealing with it.

        Ugh, I’ve only been in a few fights. They were all mistakes, accidents, or wrong place wrong time moments, and one shootout once (no one got hit, we all sucked). Never looked for a fight. But yeah, family history is funny, huh? My grandfather is a communist who was exposed to multiple nuclear bombs at Enewetak atoll. He taught me not to fight. His son, my uncle, went out for the marines, he’s the one that taught me to fight.
