A friend of mine said this while I was trying to hold his rifle steady standing up and aiming at the target 200 yards away. Your shaking like a dog shi#$%g bones. I became a belly shooter.
When I sold guns I always had a love hate relationship with deer season. You always had some idiot bragging about his shot.
“Here’s a picture of my 132 4/6 buck I shot on the run at 417.9 yards!”
My response.....”that’s impressive, I always stop running before I start shooting, you’ll have to show me how to do that”
You and I are different planets. My father was a combat navigator in WW2. Some of my similar aged friends fought on the front lines in Vietnam. Many never made it back. One of my very best friends today Vietnam assignment was fly his rescue helicopter into enemy fire and attempt to extract our wounded.Don't give your life for your country. Make the other poor dumb bastard give His life for His country.
This was a quote from WW2. Gen. George Patton speaking to the troops before they entered combat. In essence he was telling the troops that to win they must stay alive to kill the enemy. Patton wasn't very politically correct but he knew how to win a battle.You and I are different planets. My father was a combat navigator in WW2. Some of my similar aged friends fought on the front lines in Vietnam. Many never made it back.

To this day, war makes me sad.
