Silly posturing.

My wife could never get the hang of it. So I bought her an electric one.My preferred is a plain old "waiters corkscrew." About $6 to $12 for decent ones.
Something along these lines:
Easy to use, compact, not out a lot of money if it gets lost or "borrowed."

No sidewalks around here.

Yes I know that, but I can't remember the last time I got a busy signal which is my point! I don't know anyone with a land line that doesn't have voice mail!
All I have is an answering machine. It will not put you into voice mail if I'm on the line.

Rats! We just bought a new opener.

Hopefully. But too much water is a bad thing for some grapes.I hate snow.

2017 should be a good year for California wines.

I know I know .
I could not stand to hear Willy Nelson singing for a long time.
Now the Older I get the More I love his sound .
But then again .
The Older I get .
The better I was.
Just saying . LOL
Yup. Hearing loss will do that.

Then why apply such a caustic observation in the first place. Since you have no clue the circumstances.
It was not, in my opinion caustic. It was simply an observation. I think two men who are being watched on TV by millions of Americans and are representing the corps should be as absolutely perfect as possible. I stand by that.

Remarkably long lives for many of them.
Sadly short for others

According to Donald Bady in his book Colt Automatic Pistols, the Army modified the 1911's flat mainspring housing in 1926 because some soldiers had difficulty keeping the grip safety depressed, especially during recoil when the hand can move on the grip. The arched housing caused the hand to stay higher on the grip. He references original documents. I don't recall if there was any mention of shooting high or low.

Also at Anzio. Although the Germans called them The Black Devils, not the Devils Brigade. That was Hollywood. Probably because Black Devils sounded racist.

Don't care.
Go Falcons!

Maybe it'll be full of frozen dinosaurs!

Kepi????
If the bring back the garrison cap it should be the WWII type. Ithad character. The stiff green 1957model was hideous.

Apparently SOP for the Ceremonial Guard in DCI could'nt help but notice the extreme roll on dixie cup's of the enlisted.....
That would have never passed in my Navy time

?..."Anyone know what the USAF, USN and NOAA carry?
You mean swords?

I think Mattis got their attention.

As far as the bowlegged stance, I don't believe they would assign a man with a prosthesis to stand for that long a shift. Could just be he's a cowboy.
Regardless of the minor deficiencies I noted during my armchair inspection, my hat's off to those young Marines.

The army troops use M14s the Marine and Navy units use M1s

I love the 1911, but for the diversity of the troops and ease of breakdown there are other choices that are better. I would go with a .45 from any of the choices but I love the M&P from Smith!
The 1911 is a pistol for someone who will learn all about it, train with it and become very proficient in understanding it's design and idiosyncrasies; special operations troops for example. There are better pistols for general military use. The Sig is a good choice. I do hope they go with 45acp but that may be pie in the sky.
