Tacti-cool Beards
« on: June 21, 2013, 12:58:10 PM »
Hey, it was just a matter of time..........  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D


Satire, of course, but funny:

Quote
Study Finds Beards Directly Related To Combat Effectiveness

“We took 100 soldiers. 25 were Special Forces qualified and had beards, 25 were Special Forces qualified without beards, 25 were regular Army allowed to grow beards for the study, and the last 25 were regular Army without beards. All 100 of these subjects were in direct combat in Afghanistan during the study.”

------------

He continued, “Xegis Solutions had several teams of researchers embedded with these troops to make observations on their combat effectiveness. The results were overwhelming, out of the 50 soldiers with beards, zero were wounded or killed and they had a significantly higher accuracy of fire than the soldiers without beards. The soldiers lacking beards had a higher rate of weapons malfunctions and basically, shit went wrong most of the time.”

---------------------------------

“The time has come for the Armed Forces to accept the facts, and the facts are that beards save lives. All this time it was speculated that Green Berets were better because of their superior and intensive training while in fact, most of it had to do with beards.”

 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

I work as a computer programmer and this same theme has been around in our industry for awhile now as well:

In one version of the old text based computer game,  Colossal Cave there was a cavern deep in the Cave and therein was a  Bearded Computer Programmer, drinking Dr. Pepper and working over a computer terminal.

I guess I wasn't the only one.

"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."

Too big for CCW and finding ammo would probably still be a bitch.  ;)

If I had that baby in the yard, I'd find something to shoot out of it.  ;)

There used to be a guy that lived in the general area (60 mile radius or so) that had a cannon from that era (don't know the specs)....he discovered that with a cloth patch, croquette balls were a great fit for ammo.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.
