The "build you a timber frame barn" kind of Amish or the "burn down your shoe store after looting it" kind of Amish?

Medal of Honor for SSG Miller SFODA-3312

Official Citation​

The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3, 1863, has awarded in the name of Congress the Medal of Honor to

Staff Sergeant Robert J. Miller​

United States Army​

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Staff Sergeant Robert J. Miller distinguished himself by extraordinary acts of heroism while serving as the Weapons Sergeant in Special Forces Operational Detachment Alpha 3312, Special Operations Task Force-33, Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Afghanistan during combat operations against an armed enemy in Konar Province, Afghanistan on January 25, 2008. While conducting a combat reconnaissance patrol through the Gowardesh Valley, Staff Sergeant Miller and his small element of U.S. and Afghan National Army soldiers engaged a force of 15 to 20 insurgents occupying prepared fighting positions. Staff Sergeant Miller initiated the assault by engaging the enemy positions with his vehicle's turret-mounted Mark-19 40 millimeter automatic grenade launcher while simultaneously providing detailed descriptions of the enemy positions to his command, enabling effective, accurate close air support.

Following the engagement, Staff Sergeant Miller led a small squad forward to conduct a battle damage assessment. As the group neared the small, steep, narrow valley that the enemy had inhabited, a large, well-coordinated insurgent force initiated a near ambush, assaulting from elevated positions with ample cover. Exposed and with little available cover, the patrol was totally vulnerable to enemy rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapon fire. As point man, Staff Sergeant Miller was at the front of the patrol, cut off from supporting elements, and less than 20 meters from enemy forces. Nonetheless, with total disregard for his own safety, he called for his men to quickly move back to covered positions as he charged the enemy over exposed ground and under overwhelming enemy fire in order to provide protective fire for his team.

While maneuvering to engage the enemy, Staff Sergeant Miller was shot in his upper torso. Ignoring the wound, he continued to push the fight, moving to draw fire from over one hundred enemy fighters upon himself. He then again charged forward through an open area in order to allow his teammates to safely reach cover. After killing at least 10 insurgents, wounding dozens more, and repeatedly exposing himself to withering enemy fire while moving from position to position, Staff Sergeant Miller was mortally wounded by enemy fire. His extraordinary valor ultimately saved the lives of seven members of his own team and 15 Afghanistan National Army soldiers. Staff Sergeant Miller's heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty, and at the cost of his own life, are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Army.

They're going to have another civil war in Ireland but it's not going to be the Catholics v. the Protestants. It's going to be the Christians v the Muslim horde invading the country. Ireland has a long history of expelling invaders and killing traitors.

One thing to keep in mind is that California is what the Democratic party has been trying to do to the rest of America. Our population is 25% foreign born and we have about 4-5% illegals. We also are now a minority white state as far as population. The rioters downtown are acting up because they think it's their state now and the Democrats are doing everything they can to make that true.

Per our comms I will take this for $325 shipped to 80228.

Thank you

For your listening pleasure.

What are the odds that the steel cases allow for high pressure loads without the warning signs that brass would have? So shooters think the ammo is fine but are in reality running 70K PSI loads.

I suspect that this is true.

I understand going after people for patent infringements but to go after other devices that do a similar function with a different design is poor form and shouldn't stand up in the courts

It should get struck down in the courts, but that totally depends on these small shops that are producing an open source design, being able to put the money and energy into fighting RB to resolution on the courts. If RB can out spend them in court or intimidate them into giving in without a fight that tests their patent, that's all they really have to do, and is certainly the plan.

Never seen bayonetted lever guns. At least that's new.

Oof....that was a kick to the nutz.

Thanks for posting that, very different perspective.

Everything in their world is a "start" - there is no plan for an end to this war. It's clear they have no plan beyond war. Just fight into perpetuity, while freeloading off of the west.

No truer words have been written. This is exactly what's going on and time for the U.S. to cut the money and arms given to Ukraine.
