When Lt. Colonel Robert L. Stirm landed at Travis Air Force Base in California a year ago, after five-and-a-half years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, it seemed like a POW's dream coming true. Racing across the tarmac, laughing and crying as they ran to embrace him, were his attractive wife Loretta and their four exuberant children. But the happiness was shortlived. Stirm already knew that his wife of 18 years had filed under California's no-fault divorce law, and a few weeks later they parted for good.

Although many POWs have adjusted remarkably in the year since their release by Hanoi, others have seen the dreams that sustained them in prison smashed by home front realities. Returning to their families after too long an absence, they found a world that had gone on without them. Of 566 U.S. prisoners repatriated during last year's POW exchange, the Pentagon confirms that two have committed suicide, a third man has been confined to a mental hospital and about 75 have been divorced from their wives. Unofficial sources, however, place the divorce figure shockingly higher, claiming that many more cases are now in litigation.

For Bob Stirm, much of the past year has been spent fighting the divorce he could not fully accept. He has taken a townhouse near San Francisco, where he lives with his mother—recently divorced herself—and his two older children, 16-year-old Lorrie and 15-year-old Bo. The younger two, Cindy, 11, and Roger, 13, usually visit on weekends.

I bet they had a nice family dinner at Applebees afterwords.
Do any /k/ommandos know of public schools that teach shooting in their gym classes?
>>29551125
An elementary school took kids to a range with cricket 22's and taught them gun safety here in Colorado
>>29551125
No but I do know all the best gun clubs meet exclusively at Applebees.
>>29551171
I want to install the Cricket action into an adult size stock: I love that basic but good reep peep.
Has /k/ heard of AmmoSquared yet? If so, what do you think of the concept?
>>29551084
I like the concept
It's an ancient Jewish trick
Same shit as payment plans / financing
I don't get it.
Hey /k/,
What's this thing called again?
The knot
>inb4 dog cock reference
>>29550789
Tank
This one I hear from my mom all the time.
>A gun can still go off even if it's unloaded.
She's never willing to explain HOW
Why did my dad marry such a dense woman?
>Be innafriends pad with group of friend
>Talking vidya
>Convo turns to politics on guns
>Everyone thinks and believes one retards thought that all guns should be banned because American's are stupid
>We are all American
>Get jump on by everyone using simple logic
>Get asked the how many kids need to die
>Tell them how many you planning on having
That was the day I lost 5 friends.
>>29550677
>dense woman.
Probably took her out to a wild night at Applebee's.
>I get too angry to have ever carried before, but with the state of things now I think I might have too.
Last night from over the hill dude that just likes talkin.
So apparently the AR-10 is good now, but which ones are actually good, and what makes them good.
Post Ar-10s and explain their characteristics guys, because I am clueless.
>>29550598
>So apparently the AR-10 is good now
? ? ?
LMAO
>ar-10
>good
pick one
>>29550635
What the fuck are you talking about? I have guns, and for the longest time the AR-10 was known to have reliability problems.
in every recent cop movie i see, cops use this shit.
where is my glorious beretta parabellum, /k/ ?
>>29550546
in the garbage can, because berettas are trash
the 87 Target still gives me a gigantic boner though
>>29550652
you are trash, asshole.
US army and police officers used berettas for years, because of her quality. not to mention police force from other countries.
so shot yourself, fatass
>>29550708
lol foreigner detected
the US military uses it because it's simple as shit and they've been in armories for thirty years. I guarantee you absolutely no one would ever willingly carry a Beretta in combat if they had an alternative
>>29550529
>dogs dying are "funny"
That's not funny at all you weirdo virgin fuck
Your gun collection is probably under 2k too.
>>29550539
>>29550550
Dogs are products.
They can be replaced with new products.
>>29550539
>implying the joke wasn't in the filename
What's /k/'s opinion on the CAR?
>>29550458
i suppose it has its some merits in a handful of situations but its largely goofy tactiqueer shit
>>29550458
If you don't raise your elbow like the two retards side by side it's a fine grip, it's just holding the pistol closer to your face, I find it makes target shooting easier
>>29550458
works pretty well from vehicles and other small enclosed spaces. otherwise it's not all that useful.
The US military refuses to adapt its air-launched cruise missiles to an anti-ship role because the idea frightens Admirals since ships can be attacked well beyond a Carrier Strike Group defensive perimeter.
why the fuck would american admirals fear american missiles. its not like its isnt being done by other countries
>>29550270
How does this make sense when the Russians have been exactly doing that for decades?
>>29550270
Nice source, Gaylord McFagtron.
was this guy a great general or a piece of shit?
>>29550186
5 silver stars in WW1 by leading from the front...next question.
>>29550186
Bruce Willis?
Only dirty ungrateful flips talk shit about him.
Pass me the gun, Bro!
>>29550141
This triggers me more than the tinnitus threads

Why isn't DARPA pursuing this design instead of stupid humanoid shit?
Humanoids robots perform like this.
A humanoid design with fucking servos yields no performance benefit
>but humans are more efficient at walking
Humans aren't fucking robots
>>29550121
People already dont trust Human Cops, what makes you think they wont go full luddite mode on something that looks its from War of the Worlds.
>>>/r/shittyrobots
>>29550149
>something that looks its from War of the Worlds
People like backflips. If WotW tripods did backflips like the robot in the video, the common man would be more accepting as they patrolled the community. Not to mention, robots would be better used in high-crime, urban environs.
I'm looking for a pistol to use in Heavy Metal competition shooting.
any suggestions?
>>29549933
What exactly is heavy metal competition.
>>29549933
Makarov. It has shot more people in back of head than guns have shot people.
>>29549939
You try to shoot the remaining members of Pantera at a concert.
It's happening tomorrow guys.
