Compliments of Judge Roy Bean
The G3, good "heavy weapon" within the KISS concept. He's our SAW!

The Klickster (right) and associate admire one of several LAV's that the Marines were training with South of Boise, Idaho. Not only did the Marines and National Guard invite Klick and crew to wander around the base and admire the hardware, and watch the crews clean and service the guns, but they also let us go out on the fireing line and watch the live fire exercises these vehicles were engaged in. Notice that I am wearing a sidearm. (M95 Mosin-Nagant) From the Major on down no one even blinked an eye over the fact, and our trucks also had various AK's and other MBR's in plain sight, but nothing was said. (not even when we gave one Marine a ride) You secret squirrels out there who think that the U.S. Armed Forces are your enemy, or are going to turn on you, might want to re-evaluate that line of thinking, or at least "temper" it a bit.

THOSE MOSCOW GIRLS REALLY KNOCK ME OUT!
"Indeed, a gulf does exist in our society, and it is dangerous, but it lies not between the people and a professionalized military, but between American society and a professionalized, increasingly hereditary government elite that despises the common man nearly as much as it does the common soldier. We have moved from an age in which government leaders sought to do what was best for the people to one in which the political leadership is convinced it knows what is best for the people, whether they like it or not. We suffer under the arrogance of those (in both parties) who have not worked for wages or served their country in uniform, but who are convinced they understand the workplace and warfare better than the lesser beings condemmed to labor or fight could ever do"
