      @@alexpippins3363 That's a good one for working out. I always listen to something when I'm on the treadmill. These days it's classical music and an hour of prayer, which is really interesting if you've never tried it. Prior to that I would often listen to audio books. Here's one for you that's worth a listen, and will get you through several MONTHS. "The Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night," A.K.A. "The Arabian Nights." It's the story of Shahrazad telling stories to her husband Shahryar every night so he wouldn't kill her, and it's literally a thousand nights and night. I'm not a muslim, but once you get into it it's hard to put it down. ruclips.net/video/O6UiP_f_Ero/видео.html

He explained that Kosovo was full and he wanted me for Afghanistan and I said I would think about it. I went back, called my boss (I was on leave from my job) and he offered me a “big” raise to come back.

    • @wackoman544
      @wackoman544 3 месяца назад +7

      no, that whole "cant engage infantry with a .50" thing is kind of misconstrued BS. The idea that it should only be used on equipment is because the weapons weren't designed with the precision to engage man sized targets. .50's are designed to tear apart cover light armored vehicles ETC. Naturally a M2 has a lot of recoil so If something is coming at you its easier to just start shooting low and let the recoil carry the burst up into the target. If you aimed and fired directly at the driver your first round or two MIGHT impact or come close but if you fire the first few low and the recoil kind of "stabilizes" you can put the rest of the burst in a pretty tight area.

      I've seen photos of him in uniform/kit and the surroundings sure looked like the middle east. Can't verify past that but he sure wasn't anywhere in the states at the time.

    I'm not US but I was in the military. If some some person is driving at your guys at a high rate of speed and you're wondering what to do, you need to find a new profession.
