@Kamaji

I'll be damned!

I didn't have the first clue about this.

BTW,for any of you who don't know,those are linked 50 caliber machine gun shells they are loading into that fighter aircraft.

Been in use by the US military since the WW-1 era,and still going strong. Created by John Moses Browning for use in his new Model 1917 50 caliber belt-fed machine gun,which is also still in use.

And why not? If it ain't broke you can't fix it,and there is no improving on perfection.

As some wise man once noted,"When Ma Deuce speaks,EVERYBODY listens!"

I recall my FiL telling me that a couple of years ago.

I thought it was going to end with:
Don't be a litterbug. Bury the bodies before leaving the area.

That's pretty much what my grandnephew had to do. He's a quiet kid, kind of shy and his Jr. High teacher was pushing on him that he was really a girl and needed to accept it, the quiet kid not so quietly told the teacher to go to hell and that he likes girls and wasn't the one with a problem.

That reminds me of a scene from the movie The Witches with Angelica Huston, it scared the hell out of my daughter.

I doubt Cher has the ability to hit anything that small, even with a shotgun.

Just think how much worse Afghanistan would have been for the Russians if we had dumped billions of dollars of advanced weapons back then instead of decades later in Biden's 'triumphal' departure. Where would Ukraine be without the very deep pockets of American taxpayers that have no choice?

This is Putin's 3 day war. I think all the executed generals were lying to him about their wartime readiness. And all levels of Russian hierarchy vastly overestimated the moral and motivation of Russian forces. Many of them abandoned their vehicles and ran, others simply refused to fight and fled.

a lot of them had family and friends in Ukraine and had no desire to kill them, it's not like the old days of Mother Russia or Nazi Germany when there those who had no qualms about killing anyone, not even family.
