Specific to @Wheels example, I believe Poland has an additional excise tax on imported vehicles. Ranging from 3%-18%, small car vs truck. That would be additional to the fees above. Marginal at 3%, but substantial at 18%. I don't believe Poland is known for their Truck manufacturing, but...

I don't disagree with that at all. I can only speak for myself and if I were ever introduced into a situation where more is at stake than my self Interests, upto and including national security issues, I would have opt for a different position than what was taken. A collective good is...

Not sure how close you are, but I would check with Hyatt's in Charlotte.

I think that's the measure of the man one chooses to be. Some would say, "post it", "Freedom of the press". Others would simply acknowledge the mistake (if truly a mistake and not nefarious in nature) and understand its magnitude and not propel it further. No shortage of 'Gotcha'...

He asked to be removed after receiving the messages, reading them, screen shotting or copying them, discussing the issue with colleagues, and then made it known? Very poor on his part as well as the entire team. Both parties failed at being due diligent with national interests at stake. Both...

I'm equally bothered as to why this journalist didn't make it known to the group that he was included obviously in error at the start. I can't count the times I've been added to the wrong email chain and I find my name which is already a bit rarer, but I always make it known to the sender to...

Just read about that. 2700 fps with a 270gr out of a 17.5" barrel. That's impressive. Will be curious to see where you end up with your loadings.

Welcome aboard! Another resident from Northern IL here.

My nephews who are older than my kids have begun asking my father for some stories. He has a plethora of funny stories from his tours he likes to tell. I do hope he continues to open up to us and maybe tell more mature more stories to my brother and I first. My grandfather who was a WWII...

Thank you @Hunter-Habib for your kind words and post. I highlighted your last sentence as it should be reread by all. Boys and girls need a good father as much as a nurturing mother. Mine became the better father in my later years with no doubt due to what he witnessed and did for his...

I certainly will. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you. Certainly lots of pride in our family and happy to share one of his stories. His silver star was awarded from his efforts during Lang Vei and the march to Khe Sanh with the Laotians and Montagnards after he was hit while on a bunker with a Katyusha rocket. Blew him off the bunker...

I've written here that my hunting partner for my Africa hunts is my father. He always dreamed of going to Africa and spoke of it highly in my youth and I was ecstatic to take him these past 3 trips. I'm 38 now and planning our 4th trip over now. I've always know my father is a Vietnam...

Pretty sure @edward can give some tips. He's taken a few big and nasties with his handguns. @terry weick best of luck and do let us know how the hunt goes. Vast majority here love reading tales such as the one you are hopefully about to embark on.

I expect a small amount of malicious compliance at play, but overall some AI being used to auto remove a keyword database as well as a larger project that is doing a larger reorganization project. Sec Hegseth has been very open to the press about other aspects and entries that were removed and...
