This picture went out a while back on Combat Swag‘s page. Good stuff.
“All right. Four planes. Cuban bunker, Russian bunker. munitions dump, troop tents. Four machine gun bunkers. Back here by the drive-in screen are your political prisoners. We’ll cause a diversion over here… cut holes in the wire here, fire on all these machine gun positions. The B-Group comes across this area in a flanking maneuver… and when you reach this bunker, you lay down grazing fire on this defilade. I think that’s pretty simple. Anybody got any questions so far?
“What’s a flank?”
“What’s a defilade?”
“What’s grazing fire?”
“I need a drink”
Does anyone else wonder why a zipper-suited sun god is tossing around terms like that?
Have a good day today. VOTE. Your choice is irrelevant. Men and women have died for your right to make one.

They are actually making a remake of Red Dawn. Out at thanksgiving. That line from Powers Boothe is great. Has a couple good lines and his last one too about shooting striaght.
Oooooh! Killin commies, nothing more American than that!
Yes. Vote. Men and women have died for your right to freedom of choice! But your choice is relevant, so use your vote wisely, lest you dishonor those who sacrificed so much on your behalf.
I loved that movie. I saw the remakes trailer and thought I might go see that. But I will never scream WOLVERINE. For I am a Buckeye and we are better than that.
Go buckeyes!!!!
defilade, enfilade, flank… the terms have been around for centuries. Maybe he picked it up at AFROTC.
I am interested to see how the new Red Dawn movie will be since they replaced Russians with North Koreans (is China in it too? )
The bad guys were originally Chinese then they decided that it might offensive to the Chinese so they changed them to North Koreans in post.
Yea god forbid we offend the chicoms
It’s probably a case where the character’s brother has an honest, non-zoomie job…
Irrelevant? So it is irrelevant that the guy that was re-elected wants to institute another so called “assault weapons” ban?
Buy while you can
Stock up.
“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, what should be the reward of such sacrifices? Bid us and our posterity to bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plow, sow and reap to glut the avarice of men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude more than the animating contest of freedom-go from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
