Protesting New Hampshire Campus Gun Ban
From Human Events:
Jardis said the idea for the protest came about when he learned that campuses of the state’s university system never updated their gun bans to reflect the concealed carry laws passed in New Hampshire in 2003 and in 2007, he said.
Gulf War veteran gunned down by Las Vegas police: “I’m a desperate man.”
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warriors on 14/Dec/2011 00:08
LAS VEGAS — “The 43-year-old Gulf War veteran gunned down by Las Vegas police in a weekend parking lot confrontation felt like his life was spiraling out of control and sought help from a veterans advocate days before he was killed.
“I’m a desperate man. I’m very desperate,” he said in a Nov. 12 voice mail message to a reporter about fears that he and his wife would lose their home. Gibson was put in touch with a veterans advocate, who told the newspaper he talked to Gibson last week and planned to start reviewing his case Monday.
But Gibson was shot by an officer early Monday after a report of a man breaking into a northwest Las Vegas condominium.”

Terrorists Increasingly Target Military
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 10/Dec/2011 12:00
From Military Times:
Law enforcement has prosecuted 33 domestic plots or attacks against military targets since Sept. 11, 2001, with most occurring in the last three years, according to a report released Wednesday by the House committee’s Republican staff. That represents more than half of the post-9/11 jihadist plots conceived by U.S. citizens, according to a Congressional Research Service report released last month.

Ahmed Shah Massoud
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warriors on 5/Dec/2011 19:43
“We consider this our duty – to defend humanity against the scourge of intolerance, violence, and fanaticism.â€
– Ahmed Shah Massoud
Ahmed Shah Massoud was a Kabul University engineering student turned military leader who played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan, earning him the name “Lion of Panjshir”.
A Sunni Muslim who reportedly always carried a book of Sufi mystic Ghazali with him, he strongly rejected the interpretations of Islam followed by the Taliban, Al Qaeda or the Saudi establishment.
Following the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan the Wall Street Journal named Massoud “the Afghan who won the Cold War”.
After the collapse of the communist Soviet-backed government of Mohammad Najibullah in 1992, Massoud became the Minister of Defense under the government of Burhanuddin Rabbani. Following the rise of the Taliban in 1996, Massoud returned to the role of an armed opposition leader, serving as the military commander and political leader of the United Islamic Front (also known in the West as Northern Alliance).
On September 9, 2001, two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States, Massoud was assassinated in Takhar Province of Afghanistan by two suspected Arab al-Qaeda suicide bombers posing as journalists.
The following year, he was named “National Hero” by the order of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Woman shoots and kills home intruder with .22 pistol
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 30/Nov/2011 22:14
The woman in this video used a .22 pistol to defend herself from a would-be rapist that broke into her home – and she killed him with it. This story illustrates that even a .22 can be lethal.
A related point is that training is crucial, because a .22 round in a vital organ will put a bad guy down faster than a .45 that misses or only wounds him. Doesn’t matter how big the bullet is if it misses the target.
Marine Medal of Honor Recipient Sues Defense Giant BAE After Sniper Scope Fight
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 29/Nov/2011 20:30
“Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer is perhaps this country’s best-recognized war hero, a man who risked his life over and over again to save his buddies from a Taliban ambush. That’s why he’s the only living Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor — the nation’s highest award for valor — for his actions in Afghanistan or Iraq.
It’s undoubtedly one reason why the defense giant BAE Systems hired Meyer after he left the Corps.
Then, BAE considered selling high-tech sniper rifle scopes to the Pakistani military. Meyer objected, given Islamabad’s um, unambiguous relationship with the terrorists and militants based in Pakistan. Then he quit. Suddenly, Meyer’s former bosses at BAE started calling the war hero “mentally unstable†and a drunk.
“We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back,†Meyer wrote to his supervisor…
MC-130P Crash – Afghanistan, 2002
Details, video and still images taken from reconnaissance and strike footage of a downed Combat Shadow aircraft in Afghanistan in 2002.
From: Jouster.com
Here are some pics and vids of my aircraft, crashed in the Hindu Kush of the Shahi-Kot valley Afghanistan and its final bombing and destruction by the squids F18.
This the bird I had flow on for all my “stan” missions up until the night it crashed. That evening, another crew had flown a mission, came back and mission hogged our line and took our bird. Well hell long story short, they logged one more takeoff than landing
Almost felt bad about giving the crew such a hard line of **** about hogging us, almost. In the end, due to a number of fortuitous circumstances, nobody died, even though it took four or five hours to cut one of the loadmasters out of the airplane and he spent the next year and a half locked up in Walter Roach er Reed.
I have sat on these things since Feb 13th 2002, all classified tell tales have been redacted and there shouldn’t be any problem posting them now.

About the Send a GI a G2 Program
Send a GI a G2 is a program dedicated to providing Surefire G2 flashlights as well as other necessary gear to the men and women in uniform who are deployed overseas. The Send a GI a G2 program has been sending flashlights and other gear for several years now. The program had humble beginnings as an attempt to get a few friends some quality gear. From there it has seen several great people handle the project, each pushing it forward a little bit more.
The Surefire G2 flashlight is industry recognized for it’s high quality, excellent output, good battery life, and most important, it’s durability. Surefire flashlights have been in harms way and proven themselves again and again in the face of danger. Most branches of the military do not issue as high quality gear as the G2.
It is our aim to provide members of the armed services with the highest quality gear possible. We believe that our soldiers deserve the best one way or the other. Send a GI a G2 has been handling job specific requests for gear including but not limited to rifle accessories, shooting glasses, home town newspapers, caffeine supplements and anything else a soldier requests.
Our program is personalized enough where we can provide support to individuals and handle specific requests for products.
Currently, Send a GI a G2 is shipping an average of a box a week to members of the armed forces deployed in harms way.
We have sent packages to all points APO, as well as members of British and Canadian forces. The program has been able to send thousands of boxes to soldiers, and intends to send thousands more.

18-year old girl, Rukhsana Kauser, is an awesome warrior.
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch, Warriors on 1/Nov/2011 00:00
Rukhsana Kauser may not look like much, but she is awesome.
Why? Let me tell you what Rukhsana Kauser did when a very bad man, Abu Osama, broke into her home and attacked her family.
When this bad guy burst into her home he was confronted by her father. Abu Osama attacked the father, beating him terribly.
18 year-old Rukhsana Kauser and her 19 year-old brother were hiding under the bed in her room, watching the severe beating of their parents at the hands of this terrorist, Abu Osama. Only, instead of getting terrorized, she got extremely angry.
“I couldn’t bear my father’s humiliation…I thought I should try the bold act of encountering militants before dying.”
– Rukhsana Kauser
Rukhsana and her brother grabbed a couple of hatchets, crawled out from under the bed, and charged forward.
Ruksana grabbed Abu Osama by his head, and slammed the back of his skull against the wall. Then, as he was backed up against the wall, she smashed him with the hatchet.
As he started to slump down, Rukhsana reached down, grabbed his AK-47, and cracked him in the face with the stock, then flipped it around, and pumped twelve rounds into his head and torso at point-blank range, killing him instantly.
The other five bad guys found themselves facing a raging teenage girl with an AK. In the few seconds that followed, Rukhsana wounded two more terrorists, and sent the rest running for cover.
The terrorists tried to return fire, but Rukhsana and her brother (who had picked up a rifle that one of the militants dropped) exchanged gunfire until the bad guys ran off.
Rukhsana Kauser stood up, defended her family from some of the most notorious criminals in Northern India. She and her brother had fought off six terrorist by themselves, killing one and wounding a couple more. Abu Osama, one of the most dangerous criminals in the world, was lying dead at her feet.
She not only saved every member of her family, including herself, from certain death, she also managed to rid the universe of a very bad man.
That, my friends, is awesome.
“I had never touched a rifle before this, let alone fired one – but I had seen heroes firing in films and I tried the same way. Somehow I gathered courage.”
– Rukhsana Kauser
She has been relocated to a witness protection program, nominated for the highest award for civilian bravery offered by the Indian government, and awarded the $6,000 bounty that had been placed on the head of the fallen terrorist leader.
