was a tank converted to flamethrower use- I think that one only saw use on Iwo Jima but the type had been used quite a bit in both wars.

One of the problems with this- especially with a mechanized opponent- is the HUGE ARROW OF CHARRED VEGETATION that points directly at your position. Or in the case of winter war, the huge arrow of melted snow.

it’s hard to hide, then. Not that tanks were easy to hide in the first place.

the time is rapidly approaching (Indeed, maybe already here) that we have to put away our flamethrowers. We can keep doing what we’re doing, but we have to do it differently and ELSEWHERE. As countless people are finding out, you can’t do anything that points to you. Instead of posting what you’re going to post, print it and mail it to twenty people. Keep your head down. or you will act as an object lesson to those who follow you.

And I could not be happier. Any day that anencephalic monster is unhappy is a day when the sun shines brightly in Ogland.

The path to CCW in Illinois is actually less onerous than I had originally expected. Of course had it been up to the God of Illinois Madigan, you’d have to do a handstand and juggle live grenades while singing the Catalina Magdalena Hoopensteiner Wallendiner Hogan Logan Bogan song. And that would just be to get into the room where you had to wait till the sixty first of juvember to fill in the card that entitled you to a wristband that would get you into the training class.

It looks like its going to be $150 for residents and $300 for non residents. But it is a big foot in the door.

After all these years, a little freedom comes to mordor.

That people who have arrived at their ignorance bereft of any path involving reason, cannot be reasoned out of it, it’s all feeling and contains nothing of actual substance.

it has been my conclusion that those incapable of reason are either genetically flawed or were damaged. Nature or nurture, take your pick- but the bottomline is they have no business making any decision more complex than what asswipe to use. And that only for theirselves, not me.

I have, because of my feelings on this specific subject, been accused of things like ‘Dehumanizing my enemies making it easier to destroy them”, but this is of course not the case. I simply render my trust to those who are trustworthy. Painfully this throws politicians out, in the main, but if you look around you, it’s also about 4 out of 7 people you know, and that may be generous.

I have, on multiple occasions, set out to do something, as Llewelyn Moss said, “Dumber’n hell”. Nearly every time I do this, and I cannot discuss particulars, I have been given sharp, pointed reminders by the Creator that those things were things I ought to avoid.

Occasionally, I do that dumbern’ hell thing, and I pull it off, and the results astound me- as if the Creator himself were guiding my hands.

There is a clear direction in this, and while I know that it is right, it frightens the beejus out of me.
