Absolutely!

Feel good, Politically Correct "give everyone a medal" Liberals are the ruination of this country.

Too much of our country has just lost their minds!!

As a follow-up to the news story;

Its the entire state of Kansas considering banning military vehicles, soldiers and color guards in parades. Here is the reason. One, yes, one person filed a complaint about it scaring his child in wake of the school shootings. And now we ban everyone for the sake of ONE!!.

yes, it seems the minority is always winning but they, the legislatures, would ignore one person if they did not want to do it anyway. That one person is the excuse, not the reason.

Why do I keep feeling sick to my stomach that in a FREE country, freedom is dying...

Or, have the ability to teach them the basics, my youngest son is 24, we were having dinner with him and one of his friends called to see if he could come help change a flat tire:rolleyes:. Kids these days can't even read a tape measure, if they can't find it on Facebook or Youtube it can't be done.
Going to visit Colorado next month, can't wait to get away from these hot summer days.

Back on topic....Trucks are looking great Beast. But you need one more 1/4 ton to add to your Vietnam MV collection.... You need a M151A1. You could add a M422 but then you'd have to repaint everything USMC and why would you want to do that.... :lol:

Yep, I have always been keeping an eye out of a decent M151 in my area but haven't found one yet.

Difficult for sure since my understanding was that essentially, the military didn't want them into the civilian market so many or most were cut up.

This is one of the ones we had at Camp Per Ardua in Blanding, UT. Most of them got flipped by the guys.
