The New Surrender Response

For almost 80 years, the classic defiant response to being offered a chance to surrender was "Nuts!" as presented by General Anthony McAuliffe to the German command at Bastogne on December 22, 1944.

Now, thanks to 13 brave and defiant Ukranian (and dead) soldiers on Snake Island, the new defiant response to an opportunity to surrender is "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" While certainly a death sentence for those 13 soldiers, just how much inspiration and morale boosting do you think this will give to the average Ukranian citizen fighting trained Russian soldiers on the streets to defend their country? I'll bet a lot!

I will permanently add that in my list of responses to those that would oppress or otherwise cause me harm. So, let me start here... directed at every level of government:

"GO FUCK YOURSELF!"

 

More On Last Night's Post

A glaring issue popped into my head when I woke up this morning about this post from last night.

In Kommiecticut, there is no Florida style Castle Doctrine. The only possible exception is inside your own home, and even then law enforcement would rather you still "retreat" instead of defending yourself, but your chances of prosecution are slim. In this incident, the victim did what cops and gun-grabbing legislators always say you should do, run away. Don't fight. Give them what they want. The guy got shot in the hip, which LEO and the hoplophobes will say is a good thing because everyone is still alive. Well, do you know how devastating and life altering any hip injury can be, never mind it being a gun shot? For all anyone knows, that victim may never walk again. I say "FUCK THAT SHIT!" Run up on me and my gun is out of the holster. Trip my flight or fight response and it is up with my booger hook on the bang switch. Don't properly process my muzzle in your direction in that instant and the lead pills fly.

I'll stick with kill them before they kill me, thanks. I have the Ultimate Plan from CCWSafe, so I don't have to second guess or delay a deadly force decision because I could face financial ruin. I highly recommend them and if you are a veteran, ask for the veteran discount when you sign up.

Hilarity

 

Some Anonymous joker came up with this and I laughed out loud.

Comply - Get Shot Anyway

That's what happened at a gas station in Manchester, CT this morning at 2 A.M.

Man Shot During Armed Robbery At Gas Station

I am always acutely aware of my surroundings, and have always said I refuse to rely on the good graces of a criminal to not kill me. That piece of shit would most likely be looking for a different victim after scouting me anyway.

But if someone decides to try and take a shot at me, it will result in a mag dump and a blood bag on the ground with multiple large leaks.

#TBT - 2-24-2022

Remember the days when pickup trucks were spartan utility vehicles, not loaded luxury vehicles? This is what we did before built-in cup holders.

Cup holders were never necessary with large flat dashboards.

 

Commuter coffee mugs once had large bottoms with non-skid material to keep them in place on the dashboard. Unless you were in a serious accident, they did not move. Driving like a normal human being, even this cup stays put with no spillage.

I was behind the wheel of a former CTNG 1984 Chevrolet "CUCV - Cargo Shelter Carrier M1028" this morning. Vinyl seats, floor mats, radio delete plate, no A/C. It's super-duper options were power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission. In the 1980's the military decided that some vehicles could be COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) which for vehicles translated to CUCV (commercial utility cargo vehicle), instead of expensive specially built vehicles. Of course, the military still modified them for their purposes. 24 VDC electrical system, blackout lights, etc. The M1028 was meant to carry a slide-in communications enclosure... a radio shack if you will. I only operated out of one once in my time with the Army Signal Corps. My unit motor pool had the Dodge version of these, designated M880. There were many other variations set up to carry or tow other types of equipment. Below is a photo of its data plate.
