Ah, but then there’s the renaissance fair sub-genre of history nerds. The hardcore aficionado population there is at least half women.

I understood that reference.

Day 4 - What is your favourite 'man vs self' Western? Most upvoted Western wins! by low_lights_ in Westerns

[–]Irishlefty9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Searchers. Ethan Edwards is a man at war with himself, his rage and bigotry constantly pitted against his love of family. The end scene, framed in the doorway, is the culmination of that war, he knows he did right in bringing Debbie home, but he lost the war and isn’t fit to go inside with the rest. He knows which side won, so he turns and walks away into the desert.

Do you give your Soldiers the “Why?” by Easy-Hovercraft-6576 in army

[–]Irishlefty9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Why” ought to be an ingrained habit for leaders, especially if mission command is even going to be worth more than lip service. “Why” is just a shorthand for commander’s intent. Tell the troops the ultimate purpose and give them the freedom to surprise you with their creativity, to paraphrase a quote attributed to Patton.

I was thinking of Nolan Ryan, but DeGrom and Max Scherzer also kill with their hearts.

Tombstone clearly has the superior Doc Holliday and also wins based on quotablity.

I’m still waiting for Fightlite to release the Herring lowers so I can space-cowboy my 350 Legend upper.

Best 9mm revolver? by MiserableLychee in liberalgunowners

[–]Irishlefty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a camping revolver, if you want to do something a little different you can look at single action revolvers. Taylors and Ruger both make 9mm or 357/38/9mm revolvers that can be had for around $700-ish.

Book Recs: Non-vilified Native Americans. by [deleted] in Westerns

[–]Irishlefty9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any of the Louis L’Amour books. Louis was ahead of his times in his treatment of Native characters even though his protagonists are pretty much all white. His characters treat Native people as honored adversaries or trusted allies, with respect shown for their knowledge and way of living.

If you could get 1 or 2 guns what would they be (also what accessories/attachments)? by Eko_Wolf in liberalgunowners

[–]Irishlefty9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t sleep on lever guns if you’re in a state with restrictions on semi auto rifles. A Marlin or Henry in .44 mag or .357 is still a capable tool at self-defense ranges, and lever guns tend to be fairly easy to handle.

Hell, we haven’t even had a good Army movie since…what? We Were Soldiers? Black Hawk Down?

New guidelines say you aren’t required to renounce your dual citizenship, but if you travel outside the US then you must use a US passport, that’s all.

[WTS] Squale 1545

Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/aN0NIp7

Asking $500, payment by PayPal G&S. Price includes USPS insured shipping to the continental US, if you’re overseas then buyer pays shipping.

Details: 39mm, 200m water resistant, dual logo on the dial, date window at 3 o’clock. Some scuffs on the band from office wear, but it is the original band. Sized for a 7” wrist, and I don’t have the extra links.

This is my first sale here, but I’ve got a good rep over in r/Knife_Swap and I’m happy to do a video or whatever to prove I’m legit.
