It was fine ,I atoldem , "NOW LOOKIE HERE YOUS GUYS !"
....I wish after they stole my BBQ sauce !
The Alamo uses UPS !
7 -10 days ,,,,, soon . I'll have to buy a sacrifical watermelon ! Poor melon .
In our eternal 'whos right' go arounds Mike and Tracy have both offered opines that the blade should be as issued ....dull blunt . This is so if/when you fall off your horse you dont cut your leg off by accendent .....?
So the point must be used .
AND that Nathen Bedford Forrest (who is Forrest Gumps Great ,Great.......Grandfather .
Was gittin run down by some blue belly sword type guy on horse back who wanted to cut him in half ....or so .
Nothing ! Nathen later said that the greatcoat saved him ,and only had some bad stripes !
Apparently Nathen got tied of his striping and shot the Blue belly off his horse . He also said apparently
"all he had to do was poke me a good one "
IF I was calvery guy my sword WOULD HAVE HAD AN EDGE BIG TIME . Now then MT say "Oh these swords were not made to be used .......... so they are knuckle breakers ,wrist breakers ..... unfit for use ....blah and more blah"
Uuum....hummm , so was the bayonet on the end of my M-16 ......... but it would work just peachy in a pinch ...and after all isnt bayo fighting a pinch at best ?
I bet Custer would have given both bags of nutts for his sabers ..... and Gattling guns .
An unsharpened 'not for use sword' could proly have helped a little .... They say the NCO Marine Sword is not made to be used .......... silly boys .
The 'officer sword' Malmaduke IIRC is no good either ......... something would be better than nothing .
I think I head Mike say I can wack him on the back because it is no good . ... errr Stripe ONE !
