Why a rocket launcher?

[JakeStarkey]

To order a sandwich in North Carolina?

I served on active duty for more than a decade, and I own and have owned many firearms over the years. This fascination with 'boom' is beyond me, though. The butt facing forward holster is cool.

Whoa, .410 shells are hard enough to find. The quest for that ammo must be a bitch.

[Gunny]

That weapon's not legal to carry. Those are some REALLY shitty looking holsters. The way he's wearing the two handguns in those shitty holsters doesn't look very functional for any kind of quick use.

I'm going to say this is a bro out for a photo op with his other bro's. Tat's look like they could be real.

Could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :)

Bullshit you were on Active duty. No active duty Soldier or Marine would call that a 'rocket launcher' - we'd call it an AT4. And the one he has is inert. The pic was made as satire.

[JakeStarkey]

You were never on active duty, you wannabee.

If you were, you were not combat arms, only a REMF.

No, this is not about you at all, Darin.

It's about stupid in the venue.

Are you ConHog? He lied about his service too.

I think that's a good litmus test you have there. I have never heard of an AT4

Why would one use a technical term when speaking to the man on the street?

I think darins point is "cause they just do"

[fj1200]

^That would be silly.

As is the argument. :420:

Yeah. I see what you are getting at but that isn't really the argument. His argument is Military folks don't use that term or a lot of other terms. They have a vernacular that doesn't go away.

[fj1200]

I thought the argument was rocket launchers, err AT4s in a Subway. :saluting2:

it's like when ConHog wrote about Soldiers taking a "Physical Fitness exam" vs PT Test. "PT Test" is "PT Test" - that's all any Solider ever calls it.

"Rocket Launcher" is not something Soldiers would learn to say. We'd get smoked in Basic calling an AT4 a 'rocket launcher'. It's akin to calling our Rifle a 'Gun' I suppose. We'd say 'Weapon' or 'rifle' or "m4". 'Rocket Launcher' is not much different than had the OP called it a Bazooka.

No wonder Americans have never won even a skirmish in the last 70+ years .

If you are not stoned out of your minds you are arguing like kids over zilch .

In Vietnam , 75% of US combat troops did not even aim at the enemy . Guess most of the enemy that were killed were just unlucky -- got plugged by error .

[JakeStarkey]

Now you are attacking Vietnam Viets over biased rumors.

I do think many of our armed forces since 1990 may have or do today feel that way.

Do you think Juicer is a viet nam vet? And why would it matter? John Kerry is a VietNam vet and he has destructive and borderline immoral/unethical opinions. It's child-like to do what you just did - to insinuate people cannot disagree with others based on class - it's a bush-league move on your part.

[JakeStarkey]

One guy named Kerry for to use is a fallacy of hasty generalization.

He does not represent a generation. Thank heavens you don't either.

You and your sheeple do it all the time, and once again when you get smacked you cry. You guys simply cannot take what you try to dish.

Of course part of you detests your young and gorgeous Mum for lambasting you for your atrocious past performance .

But you cannot quarrel with the facts -----

You just don't win and 75% of combat troops in Vietnam did not shoot to kill .

So predetermine the psychos , send them in for killing and use the remainder for building your infrastructure ' for nothing ' .

Anyhow infantry are almost obsolescent -- see super soldiers , lasers , DEW and satellite based weapons etc

darin, are you confused? I asked if he was attacking Vietnam vets.

This may be of help to you.

malepatternJuicerless may suffer from the problem, too, making silly claims about %s of who shot and did not shoot in Vietnam.

[JakeStarkey]

A good study of the issue of shooting or not shooting at the enemy can be found at

Facts :rolleyes:

YOU are an idiot. Get your facts from an Oliver Stone manuscript? You post more misinformation than the Biden administration.

you have the worst come-backs on the board. Not an ounce of wit.

Re-read that line and ask yourself it it reads as-if written by a grown up human. Do you want to learn to get better at internally developing and then articulating actual points? A few of us can teach you, though you'd have to do the hard work to rewire your brain a bit.
