@Sun-ic7rq Talk about pride. You must be something special to know something noooobdy else in the Shawn Ryan comments section knows. Oh wait, you're just incapable of separating the individual's service and intentions from the manipulation and scheming of the government. At the end of the day you're not a 1/1000th of the man he is.

@dpbeardslee Ай бұрын

@@alexpippins3363 That's a good one for working out. I always listen to something when I'm on the treadmill. These days it's classical music and an hour of prayer, which is really interesting if you've never tried it. Prior to that I would often listen to audio books. Here's one for you that's worth a listen, and will get you through several MONTHS. "The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night," A.K.A. "The Arabian Nights." It's the story of Shahrazad telling stories to her husband Shahryar every night so he wouldn't kill her, and it's literally a thousand nights and night. I'm not a muslim, but once you get into it it's hard to put it down. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZyFnLOQy8WpoqM.html

@jacobcasmus1882 Ай бұрын

It's not the dream.... It was the sight/ events. Bad Dreams shouldn't scare you when you're awake. I found my 68 year old Mother with her head in a 2 ft wide pool of blood in the bathroom after she fell and cracked her head open on the tile... I called an ambulance, and luckily they are literally like a mile away, but they came and got my Ma and she ended up being alright. I had dreams about her in a pool of blood for a good while after that but the dreams don't bother me, it's her falling again and not being found in time or something like that happening that bothers me while I'm awake...

Im Danish, and was in the army asked to go to Sergeant training. I said I would, but that I would like som experience first, I signed a contract to go to Kosovo but was called into a meeting with a Captain. He explained that Kosovo was full and he wanted me for Afghanistan and I said I would think about it. I went back, called my boss (I was on leave from my job) and he offered me a “big” raise to come back. I ended up never going and went back to my job, that boss got me other jobs as he left and brought me with him. But boy could life have been different.

@1:34 is he saying that he skipped the rounds off the hood into the drivers seat because he's not able to shoot that caliber at the personnel? I keep seeing mixed comments on the web about it being against the rules of war to engage .50cal on infantry and it should only be used on equipment. Amazing interview! thanks...

@wackoman544 Ай бұрын

no, that whole "cant engage infantry with a .50" thing is kind of misconstrued BS. The idea that it should only be used on equipment is because the weapons weren't designed with the precision to engage man sized targets. .50's are designed to tear apart cover light armored vehicles ETC. Naturally a M2 has a lot of recoil so If something is coming at you its easier to just start shooting low and let the recoil carry the burst up into the target. If you aimed and fired directly at the driver your first round or two MIGHT impact or come close but if you fire the first few low and the recoil kind of "stabilizes" you can put the rest of the burst in a pretty tight area.
