School Protection.

Hello  Good Friends:
    I had a good trip to the local VAMC, today, in Iron Mountain, MI., in the U.P., and saw some of my buddies, plus I feel that I made a few more friends, too.    I usually make friends with fellow combat Veterans very easily,  as we have so much in common, and they seem to be so trustworthy and honorable.   
    But I feel on the ice last week and my poor back has really been hurting a lot ever since,  so I made an appointment to see the VA Chiropractor,  soon.  She is a fine, younger lady who does a nice job, and I hope that she can help me.   Winter ice and I are not friends.... LOL.   Summer treats me much better.  

I know that there have been so many dire world wide 'warnings' that I can remember, for the past 40 some years,  but lately a lot of people/ experts are 'singing the Blues' about the USA going bankrupt in the near future.    The Dems want to take all of our firearms away, and the Global Elite, too, so it will be easier to "control" us,  just as History has proved correct for the past century.... and when they say the 2nd Amendment is outdated and we should all ban all guns from civilians to save the children in school  --- it's ALL  B.S. !! [BERRY SAP].   However Pres. Trump does have some good ideas,  to hire Army and Marine combat Veterans and pay them to guard our schools, IMHO.   I know and understand that there is much animosity out their on all sides,  but banning guns is NOT the answer !  
     Go figure:   Let's just say that the U.S. bans the AR-15, etc., or Ammo.,  or larger Ammo Magazines...  what would we civilians do if there is a terrible riot, and the bad guys still have those same AR-15 with high capacity clips, etc. ??  The innocents people in their houses will be "out gunned !"   Mark my word,   if we ever lose our 2nd Amendment Rights ---  we will soon see all our other Rights vanish !   Please tell me how we will stop an aggressive, Gov't from stripping us of all the rest of our Rights and Freedoms ?   Not to worry, the truth is coming out, if you know where to look, like Fox News, and the InterNet.

But... on the other hand,  we also cannot deny what Revelation, Chapter 13, etc., say about the last days of this wicked, Satanic, System/ World.   The USA will someday fall....   sorry to say.   You are just starting to see the tip of the iceberg [Big Time Corruption] from both the Left and the Right Establishment,  as many things unravel.   God's prophecy MUST come true.   Some experts say that the USA might go broke in 60 days...   but I really hope not.    I am many other good, hard working people will certainly suffer when that happens.   There are so many 'bad guys' trying to pull the USA down.   
      I am making a special effort to re-read the book of Revelation, etc.   But the book of James says:   "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."   So.... just how can a person draw near to God without reading His own Book ?   Duh.....      I proved to my dear wife, that regular practice produces good fruits, and her memorization skills have finally kicked in with the help of the Holy Spirit.... and my gentle coaching.

Warm Regards,
Tom  Schuckman

  3. The life expectancy of a door gunner might be a little less than the pilot and co-pilot, only because he's visible and the pilot and co-pilot are normally not that visible; coupled with the fact that the enemy may want to kill the door gunner because he's shooting the machine gun.
  4. The Man In The Door: A Vietnam Door Gunner Salute!

    As the saying went, the lifespan of a door gunner on a Huey in Vietnam was about 5 minutes. Obviously a bit hyperbolic, but needless to say, the door gunner’s exposed position while shooting enemies on the ground made them wide open targets. Helicopter crews accounted for 10% of all combat deaths in Vietnam.
  5. Door gunner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_gunner
    According to popular legend, the door gunner on a Vietnam era Huey gunship had a life-span of 5 minutes. This was obviously exaggerated but displays the hazards of this particular military job at the time. Today, helicopters like the UH-60 have two machine guns firing out of two windows located behind the pilots.
