Range 15

[Ripcannon 784]

There s so many oldies that are great to like the devils brigade,the bridge over the river kwai,and my favorite oldie the dirty dozen.

[Megatron 1,175]

Heart break ridge was originally about army rangers.  However marines wanted to show how they lower their standards to make training easier for men.  Thus the movie was changed

The only thing different from corps to army is recruiting the corps takes people with small drug offences and no high school diploma army wont.you run farther and do more pt in the corps it's a well known fact...hell you probably can wiki it

I've never understood the fascination with zombies, but we got one guy in our group that lives for the stuff. We worry about him. Ha.

Range 15 is the ult pro military movie of all time.

 

Even the cdc used zombies as a way to prep.

Zombies are just fantasy

True if this country where to be invaded I would suspect a large group would be thrilled to have new leadership.   The behind every blade of grass theory is long and gone.  Gun ownership is rather low.  Yes we have a lot of guns but most of them are owned by 3 percent of the population.  

 

You have a tough time getting guard and reserve units to report to duty stations if they think their families will be in danger as well.  

 

The public has never had to face total war and would be shock and awe for them.  Most would surrender on their knees.

When I was in the Corps (50 years ago), at the beginning of each testing session, they would say:  "If you cannot read or write, raise your hand and someone will be appointed to read the test to you."
