    They are useful, but for if you run out of ammo and still need to defend yourself; you have a clunky spear. Might even be more efficient if you were being overrun.

    The epitome of a close combat weapon is the bayonet. “What is the spirit of the bayonet?”

    To kill! Kill! Kill without mercy!

    Do you mean what is essentially pickled horseradish, or the creamy stuff like Arby's Horsey Sauce? I like the former, I like the second, but cannot handle the raw egg they use. It is milder but still has the flavor.

    Inglehoffer Cream Style Horseradish.  I've got some pickled horseradish, but the Inglehoffer is stronger.

    I don't know if you're encountering a new issue, or the issue the site has had for many years where when editing a post (other than the first one in the topic) all the text displays as white in the edit window. If it is the old problem, my solution is to highlight it all, then click the big underlined "A" in the menu at the top of the edit window and change all the text to black. (If it's a new problem I can't help you as I haven't encountered it.)

    You can also use the "view source" button to see what is in a post.


  4. My left ear feels like it has an ingrown hair or is swelling.  Last time it felt like this I went to the clinic where they said it was weather front related and that Zyrtec was the best thing for it.  I ordered some of of the river store, and it should be here tomorrow.  I hope it worked because it lasted 4 days until I went to the clinic last time and a couple of days after the Zyrtec was taken.  If it's not clear in 5 days, which is how long they said to wait before coming back, I'll walk down to the clinic and have them poke it with sticks.

    Of course it didn't help that Sukhomlinov deplored 'modern warfare' and claimed that 'all a cavalryman needs is his sword, this artillery nonsense is a waste of money'. "The bayonet reigns supreme over the bullet" was a firm dictum of his.

    Which is weird given the Russian love of artillery.  Even as far back as the Napoleonic wars, Russia was big on artillery because their infantry, well, sucked.

    Somebody needs to remind the Russian leadership that while it's ok to eat steak when there's a chicken in every pot, keep eating steak while your people have nothing and pretty soon you start to look like a chicken.

    There is a reason that there is a fully equipped motor rifle brigade in Moscow acting as a praetorian guard. If they turn on him, life will get interesting.

    Surely the best way ever to increase troop morale. Tell them to scrounge for their own weapons and ammo.

    The Russian have found a better way.  Have the commanding officer demand that the troops give him 50% of their pay, or get to lead the next charge.  To make this even better, the troops aren't being paid the amount they were told they would be paid.
