I think we could use a moment of Zen. Gun Zen, that is. So, reflect on this.

They're not bad, they're just drawn that way from Practical Penumbra on May 3, 2004 11:54 AM

In my wanderings I can upon this statement:The killings of the Fallujah Four, I think, were retribution for something that hasn't come to light yet. Oh.My.God. Could there be a better example of the left's tendency to attribute the noblest of motives t... Read More

Yep, you're right. It looks like an ugly thing. As I've said elsewhere, we don't shoot enough generals. Hopefully this one will be, in the metaphorical sense. And maybe more than one, if we're lucky. And not just with a forced retirement, either. And if the military establishment doesn't go after these people with guns blazing - they will be deserving of the scorn and abuse thrown their way. I won't defend this, if it's what it appears to be. But one wonders what you are expecting of me? To don sackcloth and ashes? Call for the immediate withdrawal of all the soldiers? Declare that the actions of these soldiers is a stain upon the escutcheon of all other soldiers now serving and demand the disbandment of the DoD, restoration of Saddam to power, and a written apology to Bin Laden? Sorry. I'll be happy if the courtsmartial process works, and if they are found guilty, they come here to Leavenworth and take the long tour. There isn't a defense for what they appear to have done. I won't offer one. That's the job of their lawyers.

Getting back to the image at hand, I have a fondness, dating back to when I watched Mighty Mouse cartoons, for pan-fed automatic weapons. Very nice picture, and it shows clearly the design logic of the radial magazine.
