Thanks for the link to the commander’s story, devotion to duty and to his fellow soldiers.

May God continue to preserve and protect Israel.

Actually, the question is when Tom Friedman will get his head out of his arse….(if ever….)

“‘Dark Money Nightmare’: How Qatar Bought the Ivy League”—
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20265/qatar-bought-ivy-league
Cute graf:
“…Qatar makes it possible for Ivy League universities to claim that they receive no funds from the Qatari state, because the donations are funneled through the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, a not-for-profit organization established in 1995 by the Emir of Qatar. This ensures that the foundation can identify itself as a private organization, which enables Qatar to conceal its state funding as private donations….”

Hire education, indeed.

To be fair, the Qataris, real collectors they, are buying up all kinds of kewl stuff…

While the 12ga shotgun isn’t to be despised they’re not magic. I trained with them in the Navy. The issue weapon was the Mossberg M590. We, in the ship’s security reaction team, trained with a mix of weapons

I love that shotgun. Ditch that plastic safety. If you get the civilian version. It will fail you. Convert to the MILSPEC metal safety. It won’t freeze

It clouds the mind. I was rereading Saburo Sakai’s “Samurai!” They underestimated the Americans. It cost them.

May our enemies always be stupid.
