Random Song of the Day Run Like Hell Pink Floyd live -1994

Describe this album with 1 word👇🏻

"A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it. Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for." -General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.

Trump: "We're in a position we haven't seen. We're respected. You know, our country now is respected all over the world. A year and half ago we were a laughingstock. The King of Saudi Arabia told me."

Andy McNab, the man who taught Val Kilmer that reload, spent 10 years in the British SAS (the UK’s most elite special forces unit) and led the most famous patrol of the Gulf War. His partner on set, Mick Gould, was a close-quarters combat instructor from the same regiment. Both had been in actual firefights. Mann gave them three months with the cast. Day one was nothing but safety training. Then the crew built a full-scale replica of the downtown LA shootout street on a sheriff’s firing range, and the actors ran the entire scene with real bullets before switching to blanks for the actual downtown shoot. On set, they burned through 800 to 1,000 rounds per take. Mann placed microphones around the downtown location and recorded every gunshot live, then forced sound editors to strip out the standard Hollywood effects they’d mixed in. The echo bouncing off the glass and concrete in the final cut is real. Mann also sent actors playing criminals to eat dinner with actual criminals and their wives. De Niro, Kilmer, and Sizemore visited Folsom State Prison to interview career bank robbers. Mann himself spent weeks riding in LAPD patrol cars answering real calls. And then the whole thing came back around. On February 28, 1997, fourteen months after Heat hit theaters, two bank robbers in North Hollywood walked into a Bank of America wearing body armor and carrying automatic rifles. The shootout lasted 44 minutes. Nearly 2,000 rounds. Both robbers killed. Twelve officers and eight civilians injured. Police found a copy of Heat in the VCR at one of the robbers’ homes. That incident forced departments nationwide to start issuing patrol officers AR-15 rifles, because the standard-issue 9mm pistols couldn’t penetrate the robbers’ body armor. The loop is wild. SAS soldiers trained an actor so well the military used his footage, criminals used the same movie to plan the robbery that rewired American policing, and it all traces back to a three-month firearms course on a sheriff’s range in 1994.

This is some kind of horror. The more active I am here, the more my profile is blocked. Twitter simply ties the hands of Ukrainian volunteers and the promotion of fundraising for Ukrainian defenders. Almost every other day I face a profile blocking. For what? For trying to help our defenders in some way. Sometimes I am powerless with this visibility in 5 hours in 100 views, the lack of donations because of this + blocking the profile. Please retweet the pinned post, we have 178$ left to 2000$. Maybe someone will see this post and help us in this difficult fight with both russian and the algorithm.

Captain Mamkin from Russian Ka-52 copter shot down recently by Ukrainian drone, confirmed dead. Rest in manure.

A group of dolphins is a pod. A group of bats is a colony. What do you call a group of Trump supporters?

For Fucks Sake. Trump’s MAGA “Patriots” ready to goto war with Iran. The only thing at war here… His belt against his waist line.
