Well, the way I look at it is that if they are gearing up for a fight we might as well train the way they do so that we will not be taken by surprise. Much of their stuff is available online for free if you kick over stones and don't mind getting your hands a little dirty. ;)

Yeah, "Mr H" has some interesting ideas that if ever were taken beyond the 'informational purposes' state would make the news.

Ah Paladin Press, the publishers of the worst things I read through my adolescence. Worse than all the John Rechy and Larry Townsend and Anton LaVey and Alastair Crowley and Emma Goldman and even worse than Anais Nin and Henry Miller. Then again, I do still vividly remember those first pictures of the AK74 and 5.45x39 to come out of Afghanistan in SOF.

Why are you describing my adolescence?

Funny, I had a similar thought. :lol:

I still enjoy Anais Nin's thoughts from time to time. It wasn't all erotica. She was a rather intriguingly complex character.

Eh, LaVey and Crowley were nutcases for whom my interest was short-lived. Same for Paladin Press. Most folks are better off studying wild foods in their respective area than buying their bullshit.

^^^^This for me. I think I bought one issue of SOF, laughed my ass off at it & never bothered again.

Got my military fix from board games and making "what if" sims for things like Antietam.

I started reading SOF when the USSR invaded Afghanistan, I was fascinated by their tactics and weaponry including the use of tiny anti-personnel mines dropped from Hind helicopters. In addition to reading whatever I thought was subversive (Burroughs, Miller, Thompson, Kerouac, Ginsberg), I also checked out of the library and held on to as many Foxfire books as I possibly could. I had a really weird world view.

We had Foxfire books around our house, too, back in the 70's, thanks to my father. And SOF was eminently more worldly, as well as readable, than LaVey and Crowley. They were sending people into Afghanistan to report on the war a year or two before Dan Rather made his debut there wearing a pakol on his head. Robert Brown was their editor and Afghan correspondent. Didn't hurt they featured Marilyn Chambers at their Las Vegas conventions.

I thought to myself, "golly, it would be nice to have a copy of FM 21-26 Map Reading and Land Navigation." Then I went and downloaded the .pdf. Won't go in my ALICE, though. Have to find paper eventually--right now I have my old Boy Scout Orienteering Merit Badge book and my Scout compass in there.
