How so? What did she do or say?
Back in 2016, "I'll be glad when this election is over and someone can get busy destroying everything we believe in, for and died for, and love about America. "

Hamburger is actually a sausage!! It is simply unseasoned or lightly seasoned beef and often, extra fat is ground in with the lean meat.
Think “Hamburger” vs “Frankfurter”! 😜
Hmmmmm.....is ground meat that just has seasoning ON it sausage? I'll concede that mixing seasoning into the meat meets a definition of sausage, I've long argued that meatloaf is just a large baked sausage.

Sausage covers most things that go through the meatgrinder - bulk and casing is the dividing line. Gyros is formed in a vertical spit - carved off in layers as it is cooked. No idea how they get it to stay in position. Have to look into that!
The through hole on the cone is usually a snug (light interference H7/k6) fit on the rod. And the meat shrinks slightly. Cutting downward with a long and insanely sharp knife helps as it presses the cone down.
The cone sharp ensures that the base stays intact to almost the end. Last bit is usually cut off and chopped up.

Greek version Gyros
(smacks forehead) DUH! For some reason I never thought of Gyros as sausage. It's just GYRO.

Eastern European and Balkan countries do. An example:

https://foodperestroika.com/2017/09/25/croatian-pljeskavica/
There are also Ćevapi, a seasoned ground meat that is formed into small, about finger sized sausages, sometimes placed on skewers and grilled.
Come to think of it, there are several Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern dishes of seasoned ground meat that are formed as sort of links on skewers.
ADDED: So all that answers the question in the title, and the two links I posted address making patties. Not sure if the bulk formed onto skewers answers you link vs. patty question.

I’m just questioning the responsibility of the recruiter.
As I mentioned above, if you looked old enough you were presumed to be old enough.
Look at the photo of him in the starter post. I'd judge him to be early 20s when that was taken. From the short bit about him posted, he was just two weeks shy of his 15th birthday. Keep in mind that you could enlist without parents permission at 17. Go to a high school sporting event and try to discern the 15 year olds from the 17 year olds. Also look at how many you think are way too old to be in high school.
And society wasn't the same then as now. There wasn't the mania for minutely checking every detail. You were who you said you were, worked at what you said you did.

Fans around him were saying he was plastered🙄Is there not some responsibility on the part of fans to behave?
You think so, I think so, but in our Society of Victimhood nobody is considered responsible for acts like this. The argument will go, "Well, they should have known that people will get drunk and do dangerous things. The stadium owners and the teams obviously didn't think ahead or do enough to prevent this." So we'll get beer sales cut off after the 4th inning, 8 foot chain link fences, and who knows what other measures for "public safety."

No they didn’t. Call? Many did not have phones.
My dad, born in Dec. 1921 didn't have a birth certificate. I don't think he had a drivers license when he enlisted in early 1940.
I know his parents didn't have a phone.
Enlistment age without parental permission was 17, register for the draft at age 21. Basically, if you looked old enough nobody questioned it.

I feel sorry for the man and his family. But I dread the aftermath. The inevitable lawsuits against the stadium owners, the teams, possibly the players.
Then demands for investigations and hearings, the finger pointing and Monday morning quarterbacking. Politicians pomposly pontificating about public safety.

I liked her on Laugh In. But later she went Bat Guano Crazy, a little bit left of Whoopie.

Looks about as practical as a barb wire jock strap....but at least someone was working on a rapid fire gun that predates many others.
Probably be a decent wall gun.

Not really. Mostly because titles are usually too short, incomplete sentences and are often just a form of click bait.

16-year old USAAF Gunner Allen Glover in front of his B-24 with a AN/M2 .50 Cal MG at RAF Horsham St Faith - May 1, 1944
Allen DeSailles Glover was born on October 26, 1927 in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania to John & Mary Ellen Glover.
He enlisted in the USAAF at the age of 14 on October 14, 1942, 12 days before his 15th birthday. He graduated from Gunnery School at Tyndall Field in Florida and was in the same class as Clark Gable.
Accounts disagree, but he flew as many as 31 missions over Europe, earning the Air Medal before it was found out he had enlisted at 14 and was sent home with an Honorable Discharge.
Glover returned home, finished High School, then re-enlisted when old enough and served in the Korean War & Vietnam.
According to a story on page 3 in The New York Times on Feb. 1, 1951. "Based on the number of missions flown, B-26 gunner Sgt. Glover of Pittsburgh, Pa., is the high man in Korea. As of Wednesday night, he had eighty-two missions, thirty-five of which were at night”.
Allen Glover passed away at the age of 70 on January 24, 1998 and is buried at Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida.
His wife Linda Kay Ober, who he married in 1966, passed away at the age of 77 on February 29, 2020 and is buried with him.

Lance Corporal Ned Seath
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Lance Corporal Ned Seath rebuilt a machine gun from two partially destroyed ones...in the dark, under fire, while being wounded by a mortar...then mowed down so many enemy he couldn't see over the pile of bodies...
As the enemy massed an assault, Seath's M60 went down. He heard the gun of the team adjacent to his get hit and go down too. Seath grabbed his damaged gun and sprinted through fire to the other team's position. As others held off the enemy with rifles and grenade launchers, Seath disassembled both guns on a poncho. With no light other than muzzle flashes and a flickering flare somewhere overhead, Seath miraculously made one working gun out of two. A mortar exploded nearby as he worked, peppering him with shrapnel. He ignored the raging battle and his wounds to get one operational M60 back in the fight. Once finished, Seath lay prone behind the gun and opened fire at the massed, advancing enemy merely 40 feet away. He cut down so many, so quickly that they piled high in front of him, blocking his view of more advancing waves. Seath stood up, in full view of the enemy, shouldered the M60, and continued firing. He made quick work of the remaining soldiers and stopped the attack.
Seath survived the night and the remainder of his tour. He went unrecognized for his actions for 45 years. In 2011, Seath was awarded the Navy Cross.
"...serving as a Machine Gun Team Leader with Company K, Third Battalion, Fourth Marines, on 16 July 1966. Shortly after landing, the Company encountered a reinforced enemy platoon in a well-organized, defensive position. In a portion of the perimeter adjacent to LCpl Seath, a machine gunner was wounded and his weapon disabled by enemy fire. Recognizing the importance of stopping the enemy, LCpl Seath moved quickly through withering automatic weapons fire to extract the inoperative machine gun. Working in pitch darkness with only the occasional flickering illumination from aircraft dropped flares and suffering a leg and hand wound from mortar fire, LCpl Seath expertly crafted an operational M-60 from the pieces of two disabled weapons. Immediately and with devastating effects, he directed fire at the onrushing enemy. Heedless of his painful wounds, as his field of fire in the prone position became partially obscured by enemy casualties, LCpl Seath stood up fully exposed to the enemy as he continued the withering fire ultimately repelling the enemy's assault."
