Quick shot of stuff for Saturday

Today is busy, what with dogs to the Vet, SWWBO getting her hair done, and a forest's worth of leaves to rake before the snow hits.

Defense Tech has an interesting discussion on the new SMAW thermobaric round - I don't really buy the author's rhetoric, but the comments are instructive - and show that you can maintain a thread even with idjits in it. I prefer to leave out the idjits.

The Heartless Libertarian, who pointed it out to me - discusses his take on it here.

CAPT H sends along the source for the picture of the soldier in the Bogus Poster.

Stop the ACLU on a little movement from the FEC on the status of bloggers viz CFR.

Just to be mean - stuff in da basement:

I read about the new themobaric weapon last week. I didn't know it used aluminum. Boy, when those metals burn, they burn hot, don't they?
 
*mutter mutter mutter* Godzilla's eyes are green, just for today....
 
Yumm, I always wanted a Bren to go with my SMLEs. But that is a definite non-starter here in Oz. I just hope you don't have a Lewis as well, as that would really upset me! (unless it is in a woossy calibre like 30-06!)
 
You're safe, Geoff - I don't have a Lewis, but I *do* have two Brens (I & II) and two Vickers (corrugated and smooth), and three STENS, a Lanchester, a PIAT, a 2 inch mortar, a 3 inch mortar, and that's before we get to rifles and pistols.
