I just got this link in my email from PA https://www.pyramydair.com/video-details/diana-mauser-k98-air-rifle/477;trk_contact=B3D9D36DU9SLSAKERCFTDHJTF0&trk_sid=QVUCA2FTROM5PH5S4THMFABDOK&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Outsyder+review+of+the+Diana+Mauser+K98+airgun&utm_campaign=Let%27s+take+this+outside!+I totally agree with you. On another note I contacted PA regarding St Patrick's Day because the insistent on celebration St Pattys Day who ever she is. Yes we are too sensitive , but ,we are correct and PA is just plain wrong! Rant over Sorry, but I'm offended to see Rossi all dressed up in a U.S. Marine uniform (fortunately stripped of any insignia) to show us a replica of a German rifle responsible for untold American deaths. I find it in VERY bad taste. How about a M1 Garand or M1 carbine replica? What short memories we have. Maybe they should have put him in a German SS uniform.Had to vent!EdProud Vietnam Marine
That's the way of the world these days. We aren't even out of Afghanistan or that far removed from the major fighting in Iraq, and I can go play a video game as a Taliban insurgent and kill American soldiers or Marines in the same locations I was just conducting real world patrols in the last 5 years.That being said, lighten up, some day we'll both be dead and gone and both of our wars will get a blurb in some kind of textbook of some sort, in a school somewhere in the next 200 years, and no one will know our names. It's all small stuff.

Reminds me of the Punk server at McDonald's on Halloween in Air Force Blues... I was not kind.Then just this week I was driving and saw a fireworks stand being set up in a local strip mall. Along the highway were 5 US Flags, 3 flying and 2 of them laying on the ground. I pulled in and went to the door."Hey guy's , excuse me but do you know you have 2 United States Flags lying on the ground out front?"Of the 5 Employees the young lady says "What?" so I repeated myself.An older Gent say's "I'm Sorry, we will take care of it" And at the same instant a young guy says "What's the Problem?" as if he is in charge..The Young lady told him what I had said."Oh yea, I know ... The Manager went to go get some more supplies to finish putting them up."I said to him "Wrong Answer!" then looked over him and told the Older Gent "Thank YOU"The kid wanted to then get confrontational and asked "What do you mean by that?"I then told him "You knew they were on the ground and chose to LEAVE them there?The Old guy says to him "Go pick them up Billy""But the Manager will be back soon." Billy saysI said, "Look, I will go out there and pick them up myself" and I walked out.This time the Older Gent repeated to him sternly "Go pick them up Billy!"I watched the kid stomp out and go pick them off the ground and take them inside. Only then did I get in my truck and drive away.I don't know if he ever did "get it" but I wasn't about to drive by leaving them there.Yep, I made yet another "friend" this week.

Yep, it's small stuff but seeing that clown in the uniform I was proud to wear with a replica of an enemy weapon set me off. He's clueless like most of the rest of the folks taking a free ride. You ain't one of 'em. I'm off my soapbox now.....EdOh, I just noticed we're delegated to the back room now. I suppose I understand it but I don't have to like it. Done.
