Incredible compilation of 100 combat videos from Afghanistan, Iraq in 3 minutes​


 
Apparently the Baby-Boomers all have motorcycles.
Generation X is only buying a few, and the next generation isn't buying any at all.
A recent study was done to find out why.
Here are 25 reasons why Millennials don't ride Harleys:
1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.
2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while driving.
4. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.
5. Don't have enough strength to hold the bike up when stopped.
6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency medical care or extensive psychological counseling.
7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.
8. They can't afford one because they spent 1 2 years in college working on a degree in Humanities, Art History, or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.
9. They are allergic to fresh air.
10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
12. The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen or voice commands.
13. You have to shift manually and use something called a clutch.
14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.
15. They don't come with training wheels like their bicycles did.
16. Harleys don't have power steering or power brakes.
17. Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.
18. They would have to use leg muscles to back up.
19. When stopped, a light breeze might blow exhaust fumes in their face and cause nearly instantaneous cancer.
20. It could rain on them and expose them to non-softened water.
21. Harleys burn gasoline and that supports the big oil companies.
22. Can't use both thumbs for texting while riding.
23. Can't use a Harley to earn extra money driving for Uber or Lyft.
24. Harleys don't provide enough sun protection for those spending most of their time playing video games in their Mom's basement.

25. The Harley roar would scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would need therapy.

The SKS Rifle


Grenada was the last time American servicemen were allowed to bring back battlefield capture weapons. The US Marine Corps organized a lottery of suitable captured weapons. Excluded were grenades, rockets, machine guns, and full-auto firearms. The most prized Grenada trophy wasn’t any of the WWII weapons, but rather the Czechoslovak-made vz.52 rifles. Nobody thought that the Cold War would be over at the end of the decade, and these were viewed as an ultra-rare opportunity for an American to own a rifle from behind the Iron Curtain. Political pressure afterwards ended the military’s war trophy program, and Grenada was the end of an American military tradition that stretched back to George Washington’s army.
