We believe the 2nd Amendment is best defended through grass-roots organization, education, and advocacy centered around individual gun owners. It is our mission to encourage, organize, and support these efforts throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
I found this interesting. Some of the World War II vets laughed (part 2 at 1:28) at the Vietnam vets that complained about the weight of the M60 (pig) machine gun. We just keep getting more pussified as time goes on...

Hey guys, is anyone else watching "The Vietnam War" on public broadcasting? It's a multi part documentary starting at the beginning and, surprisingly enough, ending at the end!
Like all Ken Burns doc's it's stunningly detailed and precise. The film, period films and photos, the music, writing...
Guest column, part of a series on the Vietnam War. This one is about black troops. On the one hand the front lines were "the one place where everyone was equal," on the other hand there were cross burnings in Vietnam (?!?).

Part of a continuing series by military historians and people that were there. This one written by a Marine recounting a patrol he was on in '66 around Khe Sanh. Nice pic of him holding a muddy M14.
What I didn't know: it could get "bone chillingly cold" in the jungle (45 degrees!) and they...
Ran across this column written by an historian about how Vietnam Cong forces experienced American firepower in the months leading up to Tet. Interviews with surviving Cong, including one political officer who said "we exaggerated or made up atrocities by American soldiers to motivate our...

For the uninformed an MCI stands for "Meal, Combat, Individual". They replaced the fabled C-ration of the World War/Korean War eras in 1958 and contained roughly 1200 Calories. Mine came in a set of Vietnam-era goodness, which I will list separately. The MCI is not as-issued, as several various...
