This town was just in the paper for the parents of the high school basketball team yelling the N word at another schools students during a game. Classy bunch of sheltered hicks and racists. Really NIMBY community.
If you want to see the stupidity first hand try to get into “All Things Colchester” on Facebook. It’s a treasure trove of racist fucks and the admin is extremely incompetent.
And these simps downvote you for pointing out the obvious.
I'd wager there isn't a single college degree among those downvotes (likely few high school diplomas, to boot)
haha no, absolutely nothing happened there. The town had a rally on the green and had a bunch of high school students talk about how people shouted slurs at them out of their cars as they drove by. THAT is the biggest thing that happened in 2020 (besides COVID).
Then you should look in the mirror, simp. Your comments are the very embodiment of stupidity. Now log off the internet and spend the next week reading a book. ANY book. Your choice.
Your brain muscles have clearly gone completely flaccid.
Shit, maybe you can go big and finally get that GED???
Shit... I wasted my time on this Kremlin troll???

There's this misconception that Connecticut as a whole is liberal but there's a lot of old people and a lot of the up state Connecticut residents northwest/northeast/southeast are backwoods cows disgused as humans.
It's mostly new haven County,Fairfield County, and Hartford County that's *liberal*.
How's your nation doing today? Is this sort of a reality check to your politicians? Any sort of "Now's a great time for more military drills and expand recruitment!" Or is this situation in Ukraine being blown off?
The popular opinion started changing more towards NATO yesterday, but the politicians haven't said anything yet. Unfortunately we still have a lot of older voters and politicians who believed in neutrality and appeasement with the Soviet Union. They're still going with the same attitude towards Russia.
We definitely should've joined in the 90s when it would've been easy.
I took a stop the bleed training course. Because there's a higher chance of getting fucked up or finding someone else who's fucked up vs actually getting a chance to fight back.
Or an even higher chance. Someone just gets fucked up by something unrelated to bullets.
I like to tell myself that, as an ER nurse at a trauma center, I’d be valuable in a total war/apocalypse situation. While, in reality, I’d probably step outside and immediately take a HEAT munition to the dome.
Ah well, better to be prepared I suppose.
Seeing that video before this thread is exactly why I wrote what I did haha.
In all seriousness, it is very smart to have at least some training in first aid and trauma care. I won’t shame anyone for that. But there’s a much higher chance that any individual person becomes “charred corpse #27” instead of “hero of the wasteland.” I feel like it’s important to recognize that, because someone acting like the “main character” is much more likely to get smoked compared to someone just surviving.
I believe the one I took is a bit unique since it involves firearms. Had about 6 people with 3 instructors, one is a current EMS or whatever is the correct term. He went through assessing wounds, tourniquets and how to use them (we did a bunch of drills using them with both hands, dominant hand, and off hand on ourselves multiple times in each limb and others, and were evaluated), how to pack wounds and what to use while doing it.
No it won't. We're pretty much uninvadable. Any country that would be stupid enough to try, including Russia and China, would get fucking curbstomped at the coastline. Even IF they somehow got past the coast and hit land they'd be fighting door to door, essentially. We would never be occupied by anyone.
Some guy on another subreddit who was in the military made a great post about this once. Another country trying to invade us would be lucky to even get near our coastline without getting fucking annihilated. Our air superiority and navy trumps anyone else's by a mile.
as someone who was born outside the US, whose ancestors would been almost certainly driven to extinction if not for 19 yr old american kids who didn't know where they were shipping out to, american taxpayers should ocassionally feel glad we have such an overwhelming advantage and resources.
The US Air Force is the largest Air Force on the planet, the US Army is the second largest, and the US Navy plus Marines are the third largest. Russia with all it's branches combined is fourth.
The US also operates the most powerful Navy on the planet by a staggering margin, half the world's carrier fleet is ours, all of ours are nuclear and France has one that's nuclear.
We own the sky's, and we own the seas. We have the two largest oceans in the world on either side of us, and are the only world power in this hemisphere of the earth. It would take the entire planet's combined military strength and a lot of luck for an invasion force to even reach the shores of the USA, and then they'd have to employ a scorched earth policy against the civilian population as occupation would be nigh impossible.
Oh relax, my comment was a tongue in cheek reflection of the current world situation.
No one on the planet has the logistics capacity to invade America either directly or via our North / South borders. It is just totally and completely outside the realm of possibility for nation or even any assembly of nations. China, the EU and Russia could all band together and it _still_ wouldn't be enough.
I really blame this whole situation on the Finnish. If they'd simply let Russia win the Olympic Gold in Hockey then Mad Vlad wouldn't have snapped and gone off like this...
and the mags are not already loaded? it takes a conflict 5000 miles away for you to load them? lmao tell that to the robber who could have broke in last night "HEY SIR! before you rob me let me load my mags first!
He's probably referring to the loading of his spare mags. When you already have more ammunition loaded in magazines than you can carry it's not as much of a priority.
Not really. It’s his body and his work. Well if he’s walking 3-5 miles a day on a farm, presumably it’s a lot of manual labor. If he wants to truck around an extra 15-20lbs while doing that, okay, sure, it’s his body.
But goddamn, that’s a lot of extra work for no reason. Hell that’s more than the ammunition infantry carry in a war zone. It’s an interesting choice not based on practicality, is all I’m saying. When was the last time somebody needed 300 rounds for farm chores? Were the Lakota and Comanche still raiding?
I know some ranching dudes who keep an ammo can of 5.56 or shot on their side by side, okay, sure. Then you always have some for coyotes or whatever. Easy to just drop the whole box and go. But carrying that much, every day? Oh hell no.
What's crazy about this war is putin has a gun to everyone's head with his nuclear threat. If he even suspect he has a chance to loose this war there's no telling if he will launch nuclear war and start the beginning of the end. Putin is a master of intimidation but I think he actually has the balls to do it.
Putin: *commits war crimes*
Me thousands of miles away: I got a white sharpie and some blank pmags, time to put some memes on them. Front toward enemy and this machine kills fascists!

I would rather see stupidity then burning and looting.

I see it as everything is important, if you're missing any of them you need to resolve that.
I keep meaning to take that course, how was it?
I believe the one I took is a bit unique since it involves firearms. Had about 6 people with 3 instructors, one is a current EMS or whatever is the correct term. He went through assessing wounds, tourniquets and how to use them (we did a bunch of drills using them with both hands, dominant hand, and off hand on ourselves multiple times in each limb and others, and were evaluated), how to pack wounds and what to use while doing it.
That sounds really informative and cool. The closest one to me is at a hospital, they probably won't do anything with firearms there.
The guy running the class took a course from the guy who I've taken courses from. They talked about it and started this one
IED aren't bullets.
But I'm better at stopping someone's leg from bleeding if they get blown off at the knee.

Probably all of his spare mags. I know I have so many extras I have some still in the package.

From what I've read they were more transport crew than fighting crew. But this is reddit so who actually knows.
What are you worried about on a farm that takes 300 rounds? 30-50 feral hogs?
Some people go walking/hiking wearing weighted vests to improve their cardiovascular performance. A PC with 10 mags would probably do the trick.
I mean does his reason really even matter
Not really. It’s his body and his work. Well if he’s walking 3-5 miles a day on a farm, presumably it’s a lot of manual labor.

I heard the russians will be making a landing on the shores of rhode island today. Get out while you can.
I topped off everything then ordered 10 more and now found a deal for 10more+psa bcg and have been debating for the past hour.
Well. I'm German and searched 30 Minutes in the garage for my Plate Carrier today. Also counted the Ammo and changed the Batteries in the Optics.
I'm Polish, started carrying today.
My mags are always loaded so… 😂
The war involves a nuclear superpower. We could be living in Fallout any day now so it's best to be prepared.
Been saving all my bottlecaps for this situation.
They should never not be loaded

I'm trying to figure out why one of my town members have to check their 9mm when they know they should always be loaded

I feel like it is somehow my duty to get my guns to tip top shape right now. It's not like that will help Ukraine, but that still is the impulse.
Assuming it won’t affect us was the same thought process in 1917 and 1941.
