Zombie apocalypse training, 3
Two exercises today with the SCAR-17 at 100 yards: in the first, I drew a couple of blue rectangles on the hostage taker so that I can start trying to get tighter groupings on the kill shots, mostly in between the eyes up a bit on the forehead and around the mouth.

Birds of a feather [Darleen Click]
How often is it claimed by Leftists that they have nothing in common with Nazis? In 1962, then President of Cuba, Fidel Castro recruited two former Nazi SS soldiers to help train his military at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, according to declassified documents released by Germany’s secret intelligence agency, the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst). Castro invited four SS officers to Havana, where he offered them quadruple the average salary
