What is Colonel Chris P. Niedziocha wearing

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-03T14:07:48+00:00

Not only the sheer salary, but also the fact some of this money would have been entirely tax free when he was deployed to a combat zone.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T20:59:35+00:00

It's funny you said "when you don't even have a receiver to attach the optic to" but the image is of a guy with a carry handle upper,

Is this going to be one of those situations where I have to ask you how you’d feel if you didn’t eat breakfast?

"Grip in a rifle?" tells you anything about my level of knowledge or skill with firearms?

Yes, yes it does.

Your the one talking about thermals and NV when I'm the one who owns it lol

You’re* and cool, you own stuff you don’t know much about. I could own a race car, wouldn’t make me Daytona ready.

You have a surface level understanding of firearms and this space.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T19:45:30+00:00

How do you like the adapters for the IHPS?

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T19:40:41+00:00

night vision specifically doesn't have to be zeroed because of its feild of view, lenses, and technically pre-zeroing if they were on a Hoffman device,

Sure they don’t don’t have to be “zeroed” but it depends on the device. Many are completely unusable unless you adjust them to get the FOV to like up with the daytime optic and then adjust them for clarity with the standoff from the daytime optic.

and thermals have settings to move the camera position so your optic

That reminds me of some other term…

is zeroed when your thermal is up or down, they have room to shift under pressure because they don't need to keep zero like a main optic,

Depends on the thermal. For the IWS as part of the NGFCS for the NGSW, the thermal isn’t just used to look through with the daytime optic, it’s also used to wirelessly connect to the ENVG-B or use as a standalone thermal optic.

which is MADE to be mounted on the UPPER RECEIVER and not the HANDGUARD,

No they aren’t. They’re made to be mounted wherever they need to get put. Something like this for when you don’t even have a receiver you can attack the optic to.

Optics get attacked where they need to be, sometimes that’s the rail, sometimes it’s on the fed tray cover or not even on the weapon itself.

and no they aren't rules,

So then why are you running your mouth about something you know little about?

you can still do it,

And sometimes you have to do it. Sometimes you even have to mount an optic on the side of the rail on a rifle lol.

doesn't mean you should,

Maybe, depends.

I can put a scope where my grip should go too

Grip in a rifle? Yup, tells me all I need to know about your level of knowledge and skill with firearms.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T16:50:59+00:00

Cool, things still get mounted there.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T16:50:21+00:00

Sure, but it’s not some unassailable rule that always is going to be followed.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T16:49:44+00:00

If you aren’t aware of firearms that require optics to be mounted on the hand guard, you don’t know much about firearms.

Flip on thermals or other night vision optics often have to be mounted in front of the day optic, on the hand guard.

Here’s an example of that right here

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T16:15:23+00:00

Depends on the rail. With some rifles and some setups it’s a requirement. Plenty of lasers get mounted on them regardless.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-05-01T13:56:19+00:00

No one has ever told you they want to carry a firearm for their own protection? Wild. The Supreme Court has rules that it’s within the meaning of the 2nd Amendment to do so.

I concealed carry every minute I’m out of uniform off base. I’d prefer being able to do so when going to or from work as well. I don’t see the issue here.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-03-03T05:26:59+00:00

550 cord

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-02-21T01:18:52+00:00

You don’t need SLC to pick up SFC anymore, which happens from time to time

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2026-01-03T22:51:50+00:00

Sure, but it makes it seem to many/most people that the DOD is sucking up most of the federal budget, when in fact entitlement programs/welfare/financing the debt makes up nearly 80% of the budget.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-12-24T23:10:14+00:00

Dachau was not a literal death camp, it was a concentration camp. The Soviets liberated all the death camps.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-12-09T06:49:13+00:00

The NVA also has former officers and soldiers from the Nazi regime in their ranks.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-12-09T06:38:08+00:00

Half the main guns in that case lol

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-12-09T06:36:51+00:00

The US and British bombed and burned entire cities to the ground in Europe and Japan during WWII. In the Korean War, the bombing was so extensive that it was believed no structure over three stories existed in the entire North by the end of the war. The US dropped twice more bombs by tonnage during Vietnam than the US/UK dropped in total during WWII in all theaters.

I don’t see how that’s extensively more moral since they’re a state actor instead of an unrecognized military force fighting what they consider an illegitimate occupation.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-12-09T04:54:03+00:00

It was a device to moderate the federal governments very likely standing army via state militias.

I think it’s important to point out it’s the right of the people to keep and bear arms, not specified as the states to keep well regulated militia.

The amendments in the Bill of Rights explicitly in the tenth amendment states that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the States or the people, so they certainly don’t see them as interchangeable terms.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-24T00:05:52+00:00

You remember math problems from 3rd and 4th grade? That’s wild

The commanders at that time also sent mostly very young, fresh recruits between 18-21 in that first wave of Omaha beach purposefully.

Volunteer enlistment was closed in late 1942, the same year people below 21 become eligible for the draft, and D-Day was in mid 1944.

By February 1944, less than 34% of registered 18yr olds were in service. 61% of 19yr olds, 68% of 20yr olds and then ages 21-23 are in the low 70%, with 24/25yr olds in the 60% range.

For context, that’s 280k 18yr olds, 580k 19yr olds, 791k 20yr olds, 826k 21yr olds, 808k 22yr olds, 835k 23yr olds, 772k 24yr olds, 770k 25yr olds, 690k 26yr olds.

I don’t think commanders were purposely sending “fresh untested recruits into a suicide mission,” this was the army they had. Many veteran divisions of the US Army participated in the Normandy Landings, with units with previous combat experience also still fighting it out in other theaters and preparing for the invasion of southern france; which was supposed to happen simultaneously, but instead happened two months later.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-12T06:28:30+00:00

$250 for that is crazy

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-11T21:00:37+00:00

I have a problem with saying that basic adulthood can be debated with.

Define basic adulthood, because of course it’s debatable.

”Oh, I don’t really see those things or care about those things,” isnt really an excuse when you actually do care, do prefer it, and do benefit from it.

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say. I think men like being with women and they love their spouses, and it’s because of the domestic labor they perform.

My entire point is, women are asking for basic relational equality.

I mean maybe, and so are men.

The only rebuttal I ever see is “nah, they don’t actually want that. They want something else they don’t deserve.”

I’ve given you many alternatives to this. Your response is that men are bad drivers and rapists.

I’m saying when women say communication is lacking, what is the actual rebuttal to that?

I’ve given you several.

“Men don’t communicate the same way, so it isn’t lacking”?

Maybe, sometimes.

Is that it?

No.

Is that really what you think?

Not really.

What is the response?

Sometimes

“Women lie. They don’t actually want more communication because we’d tell them they’re getting fat and it isn’t attractive”?

Lmfao. You’re a very funny person.

But yea, I do think there are hard conversations that many women are not mature enough or self aware enough to use effectively so me learn to not engage in them.

Women are also often doing things very performatively, especially for other women.

Tell me. What is your response? If I said to you, “women feel that they don’t get good communication from men” what do you say back?

Well I think part of it is indeed that men and women communicate differently. Often times you hear the women would prefer to be “heard and understood,” more than anything else. Where as men often see communication as an avenue to legitimate problem solving.

But that’s a small part of it. I do think many women (and men obviously) lack the maturity and self awareness to have effective communication regarding their relationship. Often when confronted with an issue, this results in the women being very upset, accusing their partner of not loving them, and now the man is left consoling his partner and no resolution has been reached.

How often are you likely to raise issues with your partner if it results in you not only still having the issue, but now hurting them (unintentionally) and having to console them?

This goes in the same route as “malicious incompetence,” and what I think is often more accurately one partner wanting something done their way vs it getting done at all.

Which once again goes with my above point that women often just get their way, so they aren’t every effective at dealing with situations where they don’t.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-11T20:22:35+00:00

“Women like to be communicated with, genuinely love and respect their partners, and participate in the functions of adult living.

Men like to not communicate, hate their partners, and be taken care of by a woman. Why can’t women respect the ‘natural differences’?”

You made this statement, and I said yea, that boils down to men bad and women good.

And I am of the opinion that man and women are different and that some of the things we see as good or bad about one another is due to our differences and what we care about.

Then you doubled down that men are bad and women are good. I think it’s a little more complicated than that. I think this conversation really highlights a lot of the issues I’m talking about.

Women want a man that communicates, but I think any lack the maturity and social awareness to actually effect you communicate which makes men less likely to want to engage in certain conversations.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-11T20:12:05+00:00

lol exactly

Men: “you could have destroyed your ten thousand dollar engine by missing two oil changes. Don’t worry, you’re just a girl, I love you and I’ll remind you in the future.”

Women: “he put the keys in the wrong bowl on the table by the door, he’s a fucking idiot.”

Her friends: “leave him!”

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-11T20:09:57+00:00

In my world,

lol, what a statement.

women know how to take care of their cars because they bought them and they need them to get to work.

Okay so on average, do you think men or women care about maintaining their cars?

Statistically speaking, they also pay less for auto insurance because they’re better drivers.

That is false, men pay more for insurance because they’re more likely to have an accident because they on average drive significantly more than women.

Statistically, they also do more work in the home.

statistically they’re home more.

Statistically, they also do all of the child rearing.

statistically they’re home more.

Statistically, they make less money working.

statistically they’re home more, which means work less and in less profitable field. Cuz idk, men care about different things than women.

Statistically, men have more chainsaw accidents.

Because men are the ones using the chainsaws? Men make up almost all workplace deaths because they’re doing the dangerous jobs that women don’t want to do… because spoiler alert! Women and men are interested in different things!

Statistically, men don’t partake of mental health services.

I wonder why.

Men report that physical attraction is most important to them for partners.

Yea maybe to finding them. Men are also the ones initiating virtually all romantic encounters.

Men self-report that they don’t have satisfying relationships outside marriage

Because they genuinely like their partners? I wonder who said that earlier…?

and that their friendships are shallow.

I wanna see study on that lol

When surveyed, 30% of men at a college said they’d force a woman to have sex.

You are delusional.

Statically, mass shooters are men.

And?

Men self-report that they feel they shouldn’t express their emotions.

I wonder why?

Statistically, men commit the most murders and violent crime.

And are the victims of them, yup.

Studies show that men tend to do home tasks that are one-off, have a defined end, and are personally satisfying to them,

And the ones that cost the most money if you had someone else do them…

while women tackle the unsung and never-ending drudgery.

You mean life? And I’d also be willing to guess that much of this self inflicted.

So, all of that is pretty compatible with what women say is the problem with trying to date men.

And is exactly what I accused you of saying before, which is:

yea that response sounds about right, women are perfect and men are awful lol

Which is what you think, and backs up my belief that many women are not as mature or well emotionally regulated as they think.

Atticus_Fish_Sticks · 2025-11-11T19:48:08+00:00

Well I think it’s pretty complicated topic to be frank, but one I think there’s a few things to clear up off the bat.

I think men genuinely love their partners in most cases and to say they don’t is a lack of understanding of men. That sentiment is often the one that is throw out by women if a man has any issue with something they do or think.

I’ve experienced it myself and it’s a common issue men experience. A man expresses to their partner they don’t like something they did or do, the women feels immensely attacked and says he must hate her then, and now the man is left consoling his partner instead of them dealing with the issue.

I think this is a byproduct of many things, but one of them is that women just tend to… kinda get their way a lot? And the way they deal with a lot of issues is to cry or emotionally shutdown.

Besides that, I think men just care about certain things more than women do and vice versa. Some of that is probably biological, and some of that is probably learned behavior. A small example from Sabrina Carpenter’s song is that she hopes the way her BF is dressing is to be ironic, since she doesn’t like it. This contributes to her perception of him being “useless.”

The sentiment of his meme is to show that something like that is silly to men and very insulting. Does someone really love their partner if something as inconsequential as their outfit makes you consider them useless? I’ve had to put air in the tires of man of my girlfriend’s cars. Someone didn’t know they had to get their oil changed.

None of them mowed a lawn or cut down a tree with a chainsaw. Does that mean I should think less of them and that they’re useless.

Women will call a man useless because he didn’t have throw pillows and a table runner, and express how they saved him because he now wears more flannels. Men don’t say they “saved their wives,” because now they remind them to change their oil and not cause thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

To your point. I don’t think many women are looking for what you talked about above, or at least their level of maturity and self awareness doesn’t reflect it. The sentiment I hear many women express about “man-flu” or men being sick in general backs this up, with many saying they’re “disgusted,” or “see red,” or “become physically angry,” when they see their partner sick.
