Subj : Re: obamas gun fight To : Lee Lofaso From : alexander koryagin Date : Mon Jan 25 2016 10:29:53 Hi, Lee Lofaso! I read your message from 24.01.2016 19:07 BA>>> Tanks and bombers are pretty much useless in an urban BA>>> environment - unless the government wants to alienate the rest of BA>>> the people. They're pretty much useless in jungles and forests, BA>>> too. We should have learned that in Vietnam and you should have BA>>> learn ed it in Afghanistan. ak>> It is not correct. The Afghan and Vietnam rebel success has some ak>> sense only when they receive multi-billion military help and other ak>> high-tech equipment for fighting planes, tanks etc. The success of ak>> Taliban fighters now is due to they have in their hands "help" ak>> originated both from the USA and the USSR. ;) LL> It is all blowback. In regards to Afghanistan, the people in that LL> area of the world have not changed much, if at all, in centuries. LL> Rudyard Kipling wrote about them, his description just as relevant LL> today as in his own time. Simply Afghanistan is a perfect place for a guerilla war. As well as Vietnam is. If some countries provide these people with a lot of weapon to defeat them impossible. LL> Vietnam (Indochina) cannot be viewed in the same light as LL> Afghanistan, as it was more of a real country with a people with LL> shared values. What do you mean? There were a many South Vietnamese who fought against North. LL> The one common element between Afghanistan and Vietnam is the LL> people of those places are still there, whereas the invading armies LL> have all gone home. LL> In Afghanistan, the people called the invaders "red monkeys". In LL> Vietnam, the people called the invaders "white monkeys". But other LL> than that, everything was the same. Red monkey? What monkeys are in Afghanistan now? ;-) As for "white monkeys" in Vietnam I have strong doubts: after all the Russians who fought in Vietnam were white. ;) ak>>>> If a person hasn't been in a mental hospital during his life it ak>>>> doesn't mean he is healthy mentally. That is the way how ak>>>> nutcases acquire submachine guns. BA>>> Submachine guns and "assault rifles" are just bullet hoses. They BA>>> are notoriously inaccurate. An experienced shooter can do far BA>>> more damage - from a much greater distance - with a scoped big BA>>> game rifle, and have little "collateral damage." If you were right the soldiers would fight with simple rifles today, not with submachine guns. Rifles are more effective and accurate. ;-) ak>> But submachine guns are perfect weapon for mass murders. LL> Most mass murderers who choose to use submachine guns also carry LL> other weapons as well. They want something that works. Not LL> something that will jam. And they also want something that can be LL> used with some degree of accuracy. Besides, not many mass murderers LL> can afford the high cost of submachine guns, much less the ammo... They carry with them all the weapon they can find. ak>> If the Americans buy such things it means that the criminal ak>> situation is similar to Intifada in Israel. ;) LL> Schoolkids armed with rocks, showing off their pitching skills to LL> major league baseball scouts. It is their way out of poverty, LL> unnerstan'? The longer this situation will last the better players will appear. ;=| Bye, Lee!
