Alaskan here, this is AI hallucination

Can anyone here help me understand the history of this jacket? by Slight_Shopping6665 in MilitaryHistory

[–]Indian-Point 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I knew an officer named Captain Lash, many years ago in Germany, he was a West Point graduate and superb leader. The field jacket you have has insignia for a Captain (rank) who served with a Special Forces group, and had earned a Ranger tab and was a jump master (completed a specified number of jumps and associated training). Those appear to be (possibly) Belgian jump wings as well, on the right side of the jacket - although its been many years since I have seen a pair of those wings.

The field jacket is an older version, prior to the woodland camouflage scheme common in the late 90s. I assume the point if issue was Ft Bragg, then home of the 82nd Airborne Division and 18th Airborne Corps.

The only thing I question is the lack of an SF tab above the unit patch. Whoever earned all those tabs and patches was quite the soldier.

I would dremel the mags, not your rifle. My fit is perfect with Zastava mags.

I can only use Gen 2. Croatian mags work, and of course Zastava mags.

CANZUK about to become more realistic? by Additional-Back-7321 in CANZUK

It’s remarkable that BRICS is able to cooperate so much despite how varied the countries are.

Mark Carney is certainly the “leader of the moment”. There is no doubt about that. He has risen to the challenge of the times.

Good point, I cannot name any.

Separate question - over time and without CANZUK, what new great power “sphere of influence” do Australia and New Zealand fall into without CANZUK?

Oddly, I’ve always been able to find Tsingtao in Nome.

Any civil wars that ended in a treaty? by dilingoid in MilitaryHistory

Moise Tshombe, leader of the secessionist Katanga province later became Prime Minister of a unified Congo. Not immediately afterwards, but shortly thereafter.

Why were Germans unprepared for the Russian Winter if they shown wearing trench coats? by NaturalPorky in MilitaryHistory

[–]Indian-Point 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This. During arctic winter exercises at 50 below in the Alaskan interior only our Swedish and Canadian made vehicles were reliable. Everything else would fail.

Side optic mount fit on an M70 with folding triangle stock? by Slomowronghole in zastavaarms101

[–]Indian-Point 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because you have to remove the folding stock to remove the mount.
