The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

[SuburbanFarmer]

I've always been told that it doesn't matter what anyone says or do. It's the person who first makes unwanted physical contact that commits assault. Sticks and stones and all that.
The idea that you are not responsible for hitting someone because of something they said or where they were or what they wore or something is wrong.
But leftists love freeing people from responsibility for their own actions. How someone calling themselves a libertarian can do so is a mystery. SubhumanFarmer strikes again.

Never did I support violence. It goes without saying that an assault is wrong (at least among intelligent adults).

I simply refuse to hear stories of the poor, helpless victim that created their own situation.

The fact that so many here can only accept a binary right/wrong left/right stance speaks volumes.

It's called restraint soy boy. Antifa doesn't have it.

LULZ.

Death to the tricksters' binary right/wrong deceptions brothers and front-holers!!

Christmas in August.

Authoritarianism would be incompatible with vigilante justice. Do put some effort in - it's Christmas.

No. The same vigilante preclusions you defend are those employed under totalitarianism.

I don't like what you have to say. I'll silence you with force.

It's too late to put that genie back in the bottle. You've already stated your support of it. Suck it.

Honestly, I think the world would be a much better place if people could be punched in the face for being assholes. We'd see a return of civility in our society, within days. In feudal Japan, the samurai would simply cut someone's head off for failing to bow properly. I'm not saying that's appropriate, but the Japanese remain the world's politest, and most civil people hundreds of years later.

Personal respect, backed up by threat of force. I think this might be a foundation of civilization.
I don't want anyone being killed or seriously hurt, but I really do think a few more street fights would clear things up pretty quickly.

A musical interlude for new nicknames?

Like I said - it would probably be better if our society accepted personal confrontations. It doesn’t work that way. We haul people to jail for that.

Does that somehow equate to mob violence in your head?

Again, not the same thing as “supporting Antifa”. But thanks for showing your ass.

[Okeefenokee]

right round, baby. right round.

God dammit.

Is there one thread here he hasn't been shitting stupid all over tonight?

The Equipment of Taliban "Special Forces" in their 2018 & 2017 Propaganda

An important note at the beginning of this piece: The images that are discussed and referred to below are official Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban) propaganda images. Hence, assumptions about actual Taliban equipment and capabilities shouldn't be made from these images. The reality on the ground is likely to be very different to the impression generated from what the Taliban have released here, with some elements being somewhat accurate.

Firstly, some background. In April 2018, the Taliban started their spring offensive (An annual event), dismissing peace offers from the President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani. This offensive was given the name "Al Khandaq". Their forces have had a renewed inputus amongst the maelstrom of the current Afghanistan conflict, in which Afghan Forces and their Western counterparts (In particular American Forces) have been put under renewed pressure. This stems from the new-found confidence of the militants- who have gained control over large pieces of territory and made concerning inroads in cities such as Ghazni and Farah. In this enviroment presenting an external image of professionalism and parity with their foes is valuable for the Taliban, especially as they fight multiple enemies on multiple fronts, including the Islamic State, the Afghan Government, and Western Forces.

Much has been written about the Taliban "Special Forces"- also known as Red Unit, Blood Unit or variations of the term. These forces were first announced in 2016. Since then they have played an important role in fighting against both ISIS-KP and the Afghan Government's forces- Provincial officials in Helmand describing the outfit as "very dangerous and very successful". These forces do not carry out traditional western special operations missions but are closer to being used as shock troops or as a quickly deploying/attacking force, closer to IS-style Inghimasi.
