Amphibious Combat Vehicle testing on MCB Camp Lejeune

That recon/counter recon & eyes of the joint force is ringing more hollow than ever. The US Army is getting its logistics together for the Pacific fight. The Army plans, the USMC shouts the failed Force Design 2030 bullshit!

This irks me to no end. The USMC went all in on Force Design 2030, the advocates continue to push it and we see our biggest rival (lets face it, the enemy is nothing...the US Army is our biggest rival) continues to push forward into every void we created and even onto land that we supposedly staked out (or should I say maritime terrain?).

THIS IS WHY I FUCKING HATE TRANSFORMATIONALIST!

They believe they're the smartest fuckers in the room and end up screwing it all up.  Instead of adding to an already winning formula those bastards have to tear everything down, fail mightily and then whine while the work of cleaning up their mess is left to the real men in the room that are willing to roll up their sleeves and work the problem instead of looking for an easy way out.

Berger and his clowns will face judgement.  Not in the present.  They're too well entrenched.  They'll face judgment from Marine Corps history and how one little man almost fucked up the entire enterprise.

Large-Scale, Long-Range Air Assault (L2A2) allows the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to rapidly concentrate highly lethal, low-signature, and cohesive combat forces from dispersed locations to overwhelm adversaries at a place and time of our choosing.

 

Sounds like Force Design 2030 but without the concentration on one foe, one region...with the added benefit of not focusing on the capabilities found in other services. A highly lethal, low signature operating from dispersed locations? Organic tactical mobility by aircraft and tactical vehicles (note that the Infantry Squad Vehicle is already in service) along with insertion into an area of their choosing WITH the capability to carry on the attack at a time of their choosing (presumably able to defend as well)? The US Army is drinking the Marine Corps milkshake and laughing in our faces. From the 82nd to the 101st on over to the 11th Airborne we're seeing a real deal competition for what was once our mission set. If they have any officers still in the ranks that attended our staff colleges then they have the building blocks of rolling into amphibious assault business. I left out the 25th ID but if you start seeing them moving troops and vehicles from island to island on ARMY WATERCRAFT then the square is circled. The Marine Corps has about 4 years max to get its head out of its ass and reclaim the amphibious assault mission (not fucking amphibious raids...SOCOM is blocking that route) or the Army will take it.

Sometimes the economy fucks over you. Sometimes you're just a fucking fool for buying that shit!

 


Talk about a bad decision!

Can't lie.  Those big SUV's Chevy is putting out are downright awesome.

100K awesome?  FUCK NO!

Can't blame this on anything but a bad decision.  I now see that things are definitely lined up against the next gen, but to do this kinda shit?

Walking into a financial suicide booth would make more sense but then again that's exactly what this chic did.

Some interesting news on the Biden admin's effort to win re-election

 

First up is the shock poll that CNN ran. Biden has work to do. I've suspected that his wife and close advisors are running the nation. I also believe that they're so removed from the REAL people of this country that they have no idea how to correct course. Next up is the Press Sec. She's been a lightning rod since the beginning and it appears that she is no longer useful. I actually believe this report and think that they'll use her for outreach to gay black lesbians in particular and the minority community in general. It won't work. This chic is not loved. I leave it with this. This guy has been treated badly just because he asked some tough questions and didn't toe the line. While you might think that this is just an individual issue between the White House and a journalist I tell you its not. The US is losing Africa not because of our economic interests but because of our "social policy". Africa is more conservative than the US and pushing social agendas there has put us on our backfoot and made things easier for Russia and China to make ground and overtake us.

So weird to see police retreating in front of protesters...something is off with this whole drama

 

I don't know what I'm seeing with these protests. Something is off.

The only people that seem to be doing it right is Florida.  You decide you want to buck and push a LEO and you're getting served up on a dinner plate.  Your camp?  Destroyed.  You throw a bottle? Properly applied face plant into the ground and a quick cuff.

But this?

Retreating?

I just don't get it.

Where are the intel dudes to identify the leaders and the plain clothes bubbas to snatch them up?

Where are the folks behind the line to snatch up people when they get close to thin the herd?

This is wild.

More on those Ukrainian drone operators that got overrun...

 Remember the post from yesterday about the Ukrainian drone operators that got overrun?

It got me thinking.

Everyone (myself included) thought that being a drone operator was a geek job.  They don't do the work that the gun bunnies do to get shells loaded and get rounds on target that they do.

Naw.  You don't see those guys sweating in the burning sun, living in mud or enduring so much rain you can barely see in front of you.

Drone operators were seen as living in luxury, working in climate controlled portable offices looking thru screens thousands of miles away.

Now?

Now that shit has gone tactical.  Now they do live in the bad stuff.  Now they do have to endure like everyone else.

But the Ukrainian dudes did something to add fuel to an already burning fire.  Think about it.  You can't reach out and touch them. They kill with impunity and the best you can do is hopefully knock down the drone before it could kill you.

They started posting those battlefield snuff videos.  Soldiers waving goodbye or begging for mercy or committing suicide to stop the pain (there is a vid up of a soldier waving goodbye to his mother before sticking a hand grenade inside his body armor and killing himself...don't know the details but that was the caption...I'll try and find it).

This war has made drone operators the most hated.

They better send those bubbas to the best SERE schools possible and they better make the current ones MUCH better.

That MOS just got off the ground and they're at the top of the food chain for getting kills on.

Drone operators started off as the geek squad.  They better morph into Rambo real quick or they're gonna get got.

When drone operators become the hunted. It ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun....

Remember all those drone camera footage of them chasing soldiers and then bombing them? Remember how in the comments there was nothing but cheering? Remember reading all the captions where the drone operators were salivating at the thought?

The tables got turned in a big way in this vid.

It ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun.

Drone operators are the new snipers on the modern battlefield.  The enemy will expend an entire day's worth of munitions to erase them off the face of the earth.  Whole grid squares will be obliterated to get one drone operator.

The Russia/Ukraine war made them famous.  With fame comes consequences.

The consequences of how Ukraine has handled this drone war is that there will be absolutely NO mercy for those folks captured on the battlefield.

Ukraine just don't get it and their handlers have lost the audience. Less kill vids showing drones killing soldiers and more of this and they'd get more sympathy...

Kharkiv, Ukraine. Kid in a bulletproof vest is waiting for KFC order
byu/tohich-tohich inukraine
One thing irks me. All these groups fighting worldwide (except the Israelis) tend to focus on their battlefield kills. Hamas in the fight of their lives (finally) don't show the suffering that normal people are going thru (but are they all normal people when they're all Hamas?) but they make music videos of ambushing IDF troops. Ukraine in the fight of their lives shows everything but the thing that would cause people like me to at least pause in their hatred of wasting more money in that country.

The above pic pulls heartstrings (only a little though...I could show many American children that should be dressed the same way as they dodge criminals and drug heads on the way to school).

Zelensky is caught up in his role as "wartime" leader.  Any hints of democracy surrounding his regime are over.

The only thing he SHOULD do is to push images like this.  His constant whining and begging for weapon systems to meet the latest challenge that the Russians are putting forward is pathetic.

He lost the offensive (poorly timed) and he's lost the battlefield initiative.

He's put his country in the position of responding to the Russians, not dictating.  His strategy of carrying out deeper and deeper strikes into Russia is obvious.  Its to illicit a response by Russia that pushes European countries to engage (the US administration wouldn't dare...they have an election to lose and Biden is mentally handicapped due to disease).

In short the Ukrainians have mismanaged the war AND THE propaganda campaign.

They're just awful at this stuff.

China uses biometrics for payment....revolutionary or the mark?

 

This one has me twisted. Biometrics to pay for goods might seem revolutionary on the surface but it shows (at least to me) total control of a population. This means that anytime you buy a soda, the govt has information on your location. It extends if (and I don't know if they do this or not), you use biometrics to unlock your doors at home or enter buildings. On the spirtual side of things this has the feel of the mark of the beast. Modern tech is an amazing thing but even at its best it can used for evil. For every "convience" you pay a price. Nothing is free.

The US Army is restructing its Aviation Brigades. When the V-280 hits they will take over amphibious assault ships that the Marine Corps has abandoned, forcible entry will reside only in the Army

When your rival is making mistakes you get out the way and let them. The US Army has/is watching the idiocy of Force Design 2030 and its one region/one foe strategy and they're setting themselves up to fill the numerous voids this fucked concept has created.

via Defense News.
The Army is returning to what it did prior to years of operations in the Middle East and will design division-based formations that do not look the same.

For example, McCurry said, “a light infantry division is more reliant on mobility than a heavy division is from the air, those soldiers have to move, rapidly reposition. We’re putting more [UH-60] Black Hawk [utility helicopters] into the light divisions and taking some of those Black Hawks out of the heavy divisions and heavy divisions remain focused on lethality.”

For the 101st Airborne Division, the Army is building an extra battalion of 32 CH-47F Chinook cargo helicopters to enable air assault. “That helps with the mobility and the ability to do air assault in that division,” he said.

Here 

This restructuring isn't simply about making their light infantry more mobile.  Its about flexing into new roles.

Once the V-280 hits its gonna be hell on wheels.

The V-280 will enable a unit like the 101st (that already does the ship thing on the regular) to conduct long range assault from the sea onto targets on land.  The Black Hawk will be a nice interim step but full realization will come with the V-280.

Too many Force Design advocates remain in the upper echelon of the Marine Corps.  They've buried their fangs into the floor boards and will not look at the world and realize that their concept is fucked beyond recognition.

They will continue to push the concept behind closed doors while the Commandant does a little window dressing to keep critics at bay.

Decisions have consequences. 

Force Design 2030 has succeeded in doing only one thing.

Force Design 2030 is on track to make the Marine Corps a service that only provides ship board security, participates in small inconsequential raids and provides the Congress/President awesome parades in DC.

I give it 20 years and the Marine Corps could/should lose its separate service status.

Perspective is everything. Impressions can be misleading. I think 6x6 and I think a smaller vehicle than an 8x8. In this age that's totally wrong. Perspective is everything but looking at this beast its not as small as I imagined. Its big. This thing makes an LAV-25 look like a jeep.

Wanna be a true Grey Man? Don't drive fancy cars in the age of out of control crime!

This isn't the first time I've seen stuff like this. Guy has a nice sports car. Maybe even his dream car. Some goon decides he wants what isn't his and follows him home. The end result this time? A happy ending (relatively). The bad guy is apparently seriously injured but the car is smashed, depending on the jurisdiction and how the DA acts/believes he MIGHT be facing criminal charges himself.

The sad reality?

Its America 2024.

You got to live low.  

No fancy jewelry you're flashing in the world.  No fancy cars that grab attention.  Expensive suits...whatever your infatuation is has to be over.

The reality sucks.  People work hard for nice things I get it.  But there be monsters lurking the streets and instead of working for things they'd rather take it.

As a matter of fact how about you rejoin the EU and bring the band back together before lecturing the very hand that feeds your country's delusions of grandeur. Europe might be special to the elite but its just another big ass burden to the most of the US.

All the Ukraine supporters state that Russia will invade the Baltics if Ukraine loses. How can they know? Why aren't they being challenged on that assertion?

 

Sen Graham was on Fox News Sunday and was talking about Ukraine. With damn near foam flying out his mouth he stated that the Baltics would be invaded if Ukraine fell. He's not the first to make that statement. What I don't understand is how they could know. Why aren't they being challenged on that assertion?

Why would Russia, after a grueling fight in Ukraine, suddenly pivot and attack NATO?

Hell he's already fighting NATO intel, battlefield ISR, contractors and supply lines.

This war would already be over if it was simply Ukraine vs Russia.

So I ask again.  Why are they so confident that Russia would attack a 32 member alliance after their fight with Ukraine?

Make it make sense!

US Army takes delivery of the M10 Booker. Drinks the USMC's milkshake and laughs ....

 

Are you watching what the US Army is doing?

Are you making note of how they're evolving their Airborne/Light Infantry force?

They are upgrading them to a point where they're not only flexing FULLY into the forcible entry/rapid deployment realm (that they already were fully part of) but they're making them flexible enough to fight UP and DOWN the spectrum of combat.

They've achieved nirvana.  

They've finally out Marine Corps'ed the Marine Corps!

The USMC went out on a tangent, decided to chance ghosts/transformation or whatever you want to call the abomination known as Force Design 2030, foolishly decided to abandon its role as America's 911 force and the US Army is happily stepping into the void.

They're drinking our milkshake, laughing in our face and about to make a serious run at Congress in a year or two talking about their expanded roles and how they need more funding in order to meet the looming threat.

Because the so called brains and the arrogance of those that pushed Force Design 2030 so hard birthed and because of how they've fractured the Marine Corps family (only those that have skin in the game count), the traditional rally around the Marine Corps flag is over with (many will forgive them....I can't).

They touted Force Design 2030 as guaranteeing the Marine Corps future.

They were wrong.

They risked the future chasing a fantasy.  They fucked up bad and it will take serious dose of humility, acknowledgement of how off track they were and a campaign of repairing the damage they did (both materially and morale wise) to have a chance for survival.

Things are bad in Marine land.

The ask was simple.

Before you spend another dollar on your pet war, you must get us border security.

It didn't happen.  That promise to Republican voters was forgotten in microseconds after they said it.

Do they really believe that this will be forgotten?

Republicans just passed the Democrat Presidents agenda, have mounted no credible pushback against his agenda and have in essence proven that we are under one party rule.

Future USMC Artillery. JLTV (ROGUE Fires) based, robotic (x-box controller) and still vulnerable (hacking and enemy fires)...

Ya know what has me so mind fucked with this push by transformationalist? They've thrown away another one of the calling cards of the Marine Corps. AFFORDABILITY and VALUE to the taxpayer.

One of the bragging points of the Marines and one of the major talking points to the Congress was how affordable the Marine Corps was and how much tremendous value the service brought to the nation.

That is no longer the case.

You can look at the aviation side.

Instead of getting hand me downs from the Navy and Army we have a whole fleet of exotic aircraft that underperform.  From the F-35 (you might make a case for the B model if you were talking expeditionary base ops in support of Marines on the ground but buying the C version instead of Super Hornets along with the Navy made NO SENSE!) to the MV-22 that has shown me no advantages except for speed over the UH-60 and onto the CH-53K.

There are aircraft that we could have bought piggyback that would have saved the taxpayer money, brought us damn near the same capability and would highlight our value.

The ground side?

It held true to its roots longer but its followed the same path in the end.

Rogue Fires?  Don't understand it.  If you can credibly stretch the JLTV to carry MLRS pods, keep it manned well ok, but this thing in this way?

Why?

What are they seeing in those briefs that would have them taking these nonsensical future leaps?  Robotic vehicles have been tested since 2000!  Remember the TerraMax?


We've been dealing with this dream for a long time.  Maybe wait for the tech instead of pushing for the dream.  Maybe wake up.

Battle Order (X page) shows how the US Army's 1st Multi-Domain Task Force out Force Design's the USMC's Force Design 2030. Its not unique, not special and its capabilities already duplicated

The US Marine Corps leadership DESTROYED USMC capabilities in order to build Force Design 2030. The US Army simply added to their capabilities. So what do we have? The Marine Corps is NOW BUILT to fight one foe, in one place under one scenario and the advocates of that clusterfuck that has caused a rift in the family are begging for everyone to support it? FUCK THEM FOREVER. They were stupid and need to be told that shit repeatedly. If the Commandant had even one nutt sack he'd be pushing hard to get back to our TRUE ROOTS! An amphibious force that is ready to fight anywhere at anytime against any foe. Not this shit that Berger birthed. Confidence is not high though. I don't think enough tren exists in the world to get this dude to develop a hardon without a penis pump.

Chowder II is working and the Force Design freaks are losing bad...

 via Real Clear Defense...

First, Chowder II’s actions in the media either intentionally or inadvertently undermine the legitimacy of active Marine Corps leaders, particularly in their efforts to implement Force Design. These retired members leverage their considerable status and influence within the organization, directly challenging Commandant Smith and impairing his ability to lead effectively. This form of "helicopter grandparenting" creates significant discord and uncertainty within the active and reserve ranks of the Marine Corps, compromising the integrity and execution of the Corps' strategic vision.


Second, the public dissent from Chowder II potentially discourages innovation across the organization. General Charles Krulak, a purported member of Chowder II, emphasized the importance of taking innovative risks, noting that “The Marine Corps has never been unwilling to look foolish to the crowd.” However, when the Marine Corps attempts to overhaul its forces through modernization efforts, Chowder II openly criticizes the move. Under these circumstances, what motivates members and leaders to pursue innovative ideas? Ostensibly, Chowder II members exert their positions to maintain and leverage influence over the organization that they previously led. This criticism creates a bottleneck effect. Innovators fear public backlash for their ideas and actions, institutionalizing doubt toward innovative concepts. As a result, innovators chose to hold their ideas in rather than share them. This public opposition not only demotivates members from proposing new ideas but also casts a shadow of doubt over their endeavors, fostering a conservative atmosphere that deters risk-taking. Such a climate severely limits the Marine Corps' ability to adapt to new challenges and diminishes its overall effectiveness and agility.


Finally, the outspoken opposition from the group further exacerbates recruitment challenges for the Marine Corps. Military services are increasingly struggling to recruit and retain service members. A significant factor contributing to this decline is the eroding public trust in the military, which is only worsened by public disputes like those involving Chowder II. Such conflicts, aired openly on the internet, portray the perception of the Marine Corps as disjointed and unstable. These actions potentially deter prospective recruits from joining an organization seemingly mired in internal discord.

Here 

I take issue with many things said in this puff piece for Force Design 2030 and the idiots that proposed it.

1.  They did it in secret and they did it without output from those outside the room.  They didn't get buy in which is change agent one oh one.  They had an idea and thought that they could ram it thru.  They were wrong and now try and guilt trip everyone into supporting their bullshit.

2.  Force Design 2030 was over the top.  It stripped the Marine Corps of vital capabilities.  They talk about a second land army? They talk about being eclipsed by Army capabilities?  ITS HAPPENING WITH FORCE DESIGN 2030!  The Marine Corps makes its chops by being an Amphibious Force.  By being a Force In Readiness.  By being able and willing to fight anywhere, anyplace at anytime.  Force Design 2030 threw that away and concentrated on one region, against one foe and focused on one scenario.  They were fools and now they know that.

3.  They talk about the tarnished relationship.  THEY DID THAT WITH THEIR OVER RIDING ARROGANCE.  They arrogantly spout about "those with skin in the game"?  Are you fucking kidding me?  What happened to once a Marine always a Marine?

Long story short?  

Berger and the Force Design 2030 advocates broke the bond.  They were secretive in their planning for this, demanding in their roll out to such an extent that they made those that were briefed on it sign non-disclosure statements, so restrictive that even at Command & Staff Schools the Commandant shows up and says to his Majors that since he's paying for their schooling they OWE HIM THEIR SUPPORT IN FORCE DESIGN 2030????

They broke the bond.

They acted like bandits in the night.

They tried to push forward a flawed concept because one man had a command in the Pacific and forgot the rest of the world existed.

Now they want peace when they started the war?  They want "family" when they turned their backs on the very people that WANT to support them when they're right but have the love of Corps to tell them when they're WRONG????

Fuck those bastards forever.

They can all eat shit and die.

Oh and here's a screen shot of one of the proponents of this clusterfuck in all his arrogant glory.

Once a Marine always a Marine don't apply for this sorry fuck. We don't have skin in the game today so we don't count?

Yeah bitch.  EAT SHIT AND DIE.

I did not know they had an insurgency going on over there. Just wow. Say things kick off between the US and China. Exactly where are we gonna setup in that region that doesn't have some type of insurgency raging? In the nations that don't they're not gonna let us in. That would be just perfect. China can arm the insurgents and send them to hit us and the home govt and we'll find ourselves in a two way fight. Trying to keep the Chinese off Taiwan while at the same time trying to keep the insurgents off our backs. Not cool.

Ukraine demands more Patriot Missile Systems. This "modern" war is simply a return to "industrial warfare"

 

Quantity has a quality all its own.

We're seeing that now with the fighting in Ukraine.  Its high tech no doubt but its also at its heart an industrial fight.

All assumptions by US planners of short sharp fights MUST BE RETHOUGHT!

Our magazine depth is borderline pathetic.  Our allies?  Non-existent.

How we balance this thing is beyond me but some "brain" somewhere needs to be crunching the numbers.

This will affect everything in a true fight between superpowers.  I'm not talking about proxy fights we're seeing pop up but a true battle royal.

If just one US Armored Division is committed to action along with air and naval support how long could we keep them in the fight with our current stockpiles if they're in a high kinetic fight?

Artillery alone would probably run out in days.  Our anti-air missiles would probably last minutes.  Our airpower flying non-stop sorties would probably last as long as our artillery supply.

Note this is with us stripping down to the bare bones in every other theater.

Its a tough pill to swallow but add in dispersed units and things get even trickier because that last mile under fire to deliver the goods is gonna be hell on earth.

My worry is that the theorists got it all wrong but they're so invested in the work they've done that they can't adjust to obvious changes that are happening right before their eyes.

Their theories were fucked up.  The concepts they developed and maybe even their warplanes do not stand up to the test of time and an evolving battlefield.

Our playbook has been read and the enemy will not allow us to do another Desert Storm, Thunder Run, SOCOM raids etc....

The next one is gonna be a long, drawn out slog fest and we ain't ready.

The world is upside down. We're expecting Iran to be the rational actors and not strike back against Israel!

 How fucked up have things become?

We're expecting IRAN to be the rational actors and not strike back against Israel after the strike tonight!

Do you get the irony  of this shit?

Iran.  The home of the motherfucking Ayatollah is our hope to prevent this shit from turning into a regional war.

Not Israel but fucking IRAN?????

I don't understand this shit anymore.  Damn near the entire Western World to include SEVERAL ARAB states stepped up and shot down Iranian drones/cruise & ballistic missiles, we not only showed Israel that we had them but ACTED forcefully for them (and I don't doubt that there was back channel communications from the Iranians) and Israel still decided to launch a limited attack and now we're depending on the Persians to save the day.

Fuck me!  Shit is all jacked up.

Israel or rather Bibi is making a huge mistake by conducting a retaliatory strike on Iran...

 I don't get the Israeli rational on striking Iran.

They had European countries AND the US sending fighters and warships to knock down Iranian missiles.

The Iranians conducted what I consider a limited strike.

Bibi is stating that they have to retaliate because of (paraphrasing) that showing weakness by not striking would be provocative.

I disagree.

They've lost the public relations war.  Correction, they lost the manufactured anti-Israel public relations war.  Being pro Hamas is a new reason for being for the elite left and their camp followers.

A retaliatory strike risks expanding the war.

So why do it?

I think because Bibi needs the war to continue.  The second there is a pause in fighting the Israeli public will return to investigating him.  His govt will certainly fall.  His return to power will be doubtful.

This is his legacy moment and he's in it to set his place in history.

Self over country is always dangerous.  Israel is in danger right now with its current leadership...just like the US, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Brazil, and a few other modern societies I forget at the moment.

Amphibious Assault School hosts Amphibious Combat Vehicle Operator New Equipment Course 1-24....Video by Cpl. Hunter Wagner

 

The vids of this thing look awesome. The 30mm variant is gonna be nice. Still don't know how this fits in with Force Design 2030 (no rebranding for the FD freaks). Plus I remember the landing in Spain in that soft sand. Totally different than what you see at Pendleton. That soft, fluffy, get your ass stuck sand. Never forget seeing Marines trying to push a Humvee off the beach. Wonder if this vehicle will suffer the same fate. They claim it has the mobility to keep up with an M1 Abrams in broken terrain but I've never seen a video of it actually doing that. In short I have questions of its mobility in rough conditions. Video proof from BAE or the Marine Corps would be appreciated. Don't get me wrong. We won't see it but it would be nice. I wonder if I'm the only one that has doubts about this?

I am stunned and amazed (yeah I'm stupid) at how easily Washington, DC turned Louisiana native House Speaker Johnson into a puppet...

 


This fucker is a complete sellout.  All the promises about securing the border are forgotten and its all about Ukraine with just a side mention about Israel to try and get the Bible Belt to support this bitch ass supplemental.

The two party system is a joke.

I never REALLY understood the power of the Military Industrial Complex.

They own our govt which is a major part of why the US is continuously at war.

Its bad enough that we have enemies trying to fuck us, but now we have to add the govt to that list?

Fuck!

We're in a hurt locker.  We can't give up but FUCK!

To put it in street terms, how did the US go from being a certified, will fuck you up in a heartbeat shot caller to becoming the world's bitch?  The pussification of America is accelerating.

The tide continues to turn against Biden...

 

Antonio Brown is batshit crazy.  But even the crazy can get it right (having said that who is actually normal these days...we're all fucked up to a certain extent..).

AB isn't leading on this issue.  It isn't a great revelation on his part. He's simply following the lead.

Black working males have turned on the Democrat party.

I fear its too late but its about fucking time.

The Draco Polaris XPEDITION

I've seen some crazy ATV builds. Seen them with tires taller than me (i'm 6'2")...seen them with sound systems that made no sense...seen them over powered and modded to hell with freaking 5.8L engines somehow bootstrapped onto them.

But I've never seen an off road princess like this thing.  Check it out and the price tag that goes with it here.
