  1. You want some survivors to tell the tale. The French sent armed convoys to resupply Dien Bien Phu. The Viet Minh ambushed what turned out to be the last one attempted and stopped it cold. They killed every single soldier in the convoy except one private. He was sent back to tell his commanders what he had seen, and that the Viet Minh intended to do that to everyone opposing them. Dien Bien Phu fell not long after, and the French scurried out of Vietnam, turning the reins over to their suckers, I mean allies, the US. That private's story was France's 'Walter Kronkite after Tet' turning point. Leave one survivor to share the horror.
  2. To quote the kraut in Raiders of the Lost Ark: "Shoot them. Shoot them both."* *This is hyperbole, not an actual suggestion. Never shoot other drivers, no matter how annoying the are. It is a momentary pleasure, and will get you talked about.
  3. I was in first grade in Corpus Christi when that was on TV. Singing that on the playground at recess was a good way to have the error of your gringo ways explained to you be a couple of kids named Garcia or Hernandez.
  4. To this day there are songs that I'll listen to and anticipate the ka-chunk where it was on my dad's eight tracks. He had a Charley Pride eight track that we would listen to while barbecuing. "Just between you and me" ka-chunk "I'm not so sure about it." It doesn't sound right to me any other way.
  5. From your lips to God's ears.
  6. @Brisketexan will be all over that. ETA -Shit, too slow.
  7. RIP Mac. Thanks for everything you have added to our world.
  8. I wish that dewberries would bear for two or three more weeks. I need to make some more jelly. Ah well, I'll wait for the mustang grapes to come off.
  9. Silly fuckers must not remember Chosin. A Marine regiment, an Army combat team, and a battalion of Brits wiped something like three entire Chinese divisions off the map. Not depleted them enough that they had to pull back and reconstitute for a year, they ceased to exist. And the UN forces also mauled two or three more divisions enough that they had to be pulled out of the line. Silly fuckers.
  10. He may be expelled, but I would bet that he will win re-election to that seat, or any other seat for which he chooses to run. This IS Texas, after all.
  11. Descended from Robert The Bruce and William Wallace on one side of the family and related to William Quantrill on the other. No wonder I'm a hooligan and troublemaker.
  12. Sure looks like the preparatory phase of the offensive is starting to ramp up. It's fixing to get interesting.
  13. How long until a member of the Surly community loses a loved one, or their life? It's no longer a question of if it will happen, just when.
  14. Prigozhin's ranting and threat to pull out of Bakhmut and reports of regular Russian units redeploying elsewhere sound good, but it seems too public to me. I smell a rat, and the wind's coming from Russia's direction. I think they are trying to set a trap and get Ukraine to overextend there.
  15. So the question is: does the Russian MOD have the ammo and aren't willing to share, or do they not have the ammo at all? Maybe it's the military rule that you don't reinforce failure, so he is being cut off for failing in Bakhmut. Any way it goes, I think Wagner is in for some tough sledding.
  16. Go get 'em, Oleksander. Mess that Russkie up.
  17. The Hills Have Eyes In The Ass PeeWee's Big Adventure In The Ass The Sun Also Rises In The Ass The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre: In The Ass Apocalypse Now In The Ass Tender Mercies In The Ass Scrooged In The Ass
  18. Yep, definitely a false flag.
  19. Yeah, I heard that, too. Pissed me off, because you know that he believes it.
  20. More importantly, our pilots are better than their pilots.
  21. The first movie I remember seeing was Mary Poppins, at a drive in. The whole family went, but my dad got out of the car and sat on the trunk, watching Thunderball on the other screen. Right on, Pops. Right on.
  22. Two direct strikes like that would try his innards. Gotta be fake. Kinda clever one, though.
  23. Just another day in NRA/Republican paradise.
  24. You just knew that tweet would bring out the morons and weirdos, and boy howdy, it did the job.
  25. That's badassery at an unimaginable level. He should have received the MoH years ago.
