Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

That is cool!
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Somehow, sadly,....I doubt Hummers would be as quick,....oh and America doesn't even own Hummer anymore.. :'(

Love those Willy Jeeps. A different time, a different mindset:

Keep it simple stupid....Blow an engine, new one installed in minutes. Tranny goes, same thing.... They'll even work if there's an EMP, as there is no electronics. But it did have a cigarette lighter... ::)

Great vid.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

There is some type of competition involving the military, in I believe it's Britain, where they have to disassemble and move a field artillery piece over walls, rivers and ponds, and all sorts of other obstacles, then reassemble it and fire 3 shots in rapid succession. It's very dangerous and a lot of guys get hurt doing it. Everything from smashed hands and fingers to broken limbs. I don't know exactly what it's called, but it's exciting as hell to watch. The guys who compete in this are unbelievably fast. Perhaps someone who knows can post a link.  Bill T.

Quite possibly one of the best demonstrations I've seen in a while.
Great video!!!
Must pass it on, thanks.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
