    ok,, now i’m curious.? how did last guy get good weapon.???
    they keep the good stuff for the elite,. an give the cheap
    expendable (AK) to the expendables… even in ODS, if a
    grunt “found” something, it was immediately sent to higher
    ups, if they were caught with it, they were shot on sight.

      He’s also the guy with sneakers in a swamp.
      Wet, rotting feet for sure.
      Maybe the guns are their own.

      That looks like a P90, they are NOT cheap! My son
      looked at getting one, changed his mind real quick…
      When I asked he just mumbled something that
      sounded like 12k.

        no, looks more like a FN-2000.
        the FN P-90’s trigger is closer to the front.
        now days the p90 is going for 15k,.
        and the fn2000 is going for $3,000+
        outside the US, AK’s go for 3 to 500…

          I was guessing, hand guns are all I mess with,
          and I don’t have a gun collection to stare lovingly at…
          (yes, he does that) My son shows me clips of YouTubers
          that run vids of them playing, sorry, testing out various
          guns, but I just never had any real interest in them.
          I was happier leaving ’em twitching rather than leakin’. 😉

          In the Empire, weapons are a lot cheaper, since they’re not regulated, banned, or
          taxed (except for the FT). That wheeled belt-fed Maxim replica in the toy shop
          sells for less than $1000. And it is fully functional.

    Don’t you love people that think with their skin.
    Is it too hard for them to use their head
    for something other than a hat rack?
    There are too many of them out there.

    I half expected others to join in on his side,
    but Karen put him in his place!
    Slavers depend on their customers, if no one’s buying,
    they have lost anything they had going.
    That’s what happened on Lamia, slavery was abolished,
    and no one was catching more, plus the ones they had
    was freed, so they had nothing to sell or to sell to.

    Mala would make a great strategist, getting the job
    done with as few troops as possible and nearly zero
    chance of any friendly losses. I would not want to
    play poker OR chess with that lady 😉

    I saw this in a comment on YouTube and checked it out. Pull up
    your favorite translation app, select Finnish and key in “Kamala”.
    I won’t spoil it in advance but I do hope you try it.

            a video of guys cutting off their junk, I never forgave
            him for that… The things on the web I swear… He thought
            it was funny.

                  I came up with a translation pretty easily. Since Finnish
                  is not in her background, I’m going to assume that it’s
                  just a coincidence. In fact, English only adopted one
                  common word from Finnish, and that’s “sauna.”

                    I’m not saying it means anything.
                    it’s just an interesting coincidence. 😉

    Question. Panel 8.
    Mala grabs the sand chigger and
    slices his throat.
    Never having been any kind of front
    line infantry or spec ops (I was the one
    in the rear with the gear, the pogue), I
    have to wonder….is it better to slice from
    the front, severing throat and jugular? Or…..
    better to stab and sever the spinal cord
    from the back of the neck?
    Asking for a friend……..

      She’s going for the spine,
      to shut him down quickly.
      It’s a more difficult cut, but…
      It is Mala, and it’s her knife!

        I did hear of some spec/black-ops were taught to drive the
        knife into the base of the skull and stir, instant rag-doll…
        I’d think that could cause the knife to jam in the bone.

          That’s what ice picks are for. No need to remove it,
          unless you’re trying to hide the damage.
          It leaves a tiny wound.

    I’ve always assumed the first since the spinal cord is
    protected by vertebrae. No problem for an axe or sword,
    but a knife at close range seems iffy.
    Never talked to an expert about it though.

      see that’s where you are incorrect. it was iffy for axe’s and swords.!
      that’s why they came out with the ‘guillotine’. (well sorta.)
      with a “regular” sword you had to be trained and strong enough.
      and why special axe’s and later swords were used..
      did you know,, last use of the guillotine was when Star Wars
      came out in 77…

      There are bone spikes that come out the back of the
      vertebra that do offer some protection, but it’s doubled-
      edged, if anything broke off them it could wind up in
      the cord and cause paralysis, that’s what happened to
      my back, only in my case it was frags from the vertebra
      itself. That and it was the lumbar area.

    I’d say it depended on the situation, I’ve dis-armed a few but
    I never out-right tried to knife anyone. I did have a punk managed
    to hold a knife at my throat, long story short, I took it from him
    and stuck it in his leg. whiny a-hole had the nerve to complain
    that I had knifed him! I was going to walk away but he got on
    my nerves so I went back, yanked it out, and offered to sheath
    it some where else. Changed his tune real quick like. Then I told
    him to hold pressure on it or bleed out. I did learn to check the
    ally-ways after that…

    Someone needs to explain to Jeffery that not everybody wants
    to wallow in victimhood and self-pity.. Unfortunately grifters
    are gonna grift. It’s their nature.

    Well, some people are not in a situation where they can
    help themselves for lack of opportunities or jobs.
    I think it is better to have a system rather than relying on
    good will of individual people giving charities.
    In my country we prefer to supply people in need to a basic standard.
    No luxuries but also no starving. There is always an envy discussion.
    there is the possibility for small jobs without taxation and nearly no
    bureaucracy. Minimum wage at 12,40Euro.
    People who use that are usually over 50 with a hard time to find a
    new job or young ones without a job or people who have to
    care for family members. Many people have a mini job besides
    a regular job because they want to work more hours than
    the limitations on normal jobs allow to provide from exploitation.
    Still no taxes on that mini job. Max 520 Euro for a mini job per month.
    There are always some few people who try to find ways around
    a system with getting support and same time full work on the
    black market. That was always the case and will always be the case.
    I remember a colleague in the army who told me he was a
    bricklayer who lost his job a year before he was drawn, got
    unemployment benefits and same time was working full time
    without taxation. If he was found out he would probably go
    to prison and the company owner too. Stop the programs for
    that reason? It is just some who exploit a system.
    Would you tell the police to stop trying to catch burglars
    because they never get all of them, so their work is useless?
    There are hardly any people who settled in with government
    benefits. Everybody tries to have more than the basics if
    they have the ability to.
    I myself am retired but found it boring. I found myself a
    half time job in delivering car parts and stuff to workshops
    and industry. Over minimum wage. There are lots of jobs
    here. It keeps my days structured and i stay fit while getting
    payed for it.
    I met one man though who has 6 children from 3 women and
    prefers to work an easy low payed job just enough to provide
    for him, since the government would seize all extra money
    for the children anyway. Quite shortsighted i say, since one
    day the children will be out of the support age.
    Some people are like that. I can live with that.
    Sorry for another wallpaper.

      Now imagine a country with 50 million
      people like your one man,
      and you know the problem in the U.S.

      That’s the value of WorkFare(tm). No one has to go hungry. All anyone need do is sign
      up, be available for work, and they get room and board and the equivalent of fifteen-
      twenty dollars a day.
      Yes, the people who run WorkFare are financially well off, because they provide a
      service that is valuable. And the people on WorkFare don’t stay for long, because
      they have a very skilled staff that is motivated to help them find the best-paying
      job that they are qualified for, as WorkFare gets a small percentage of their pay
      for the first year of their employment.
      As for throwing someone into prison for not paying taxes on their income, that’s
      pretty barbaric. That’s also one advantage of the Fair Tax. The only tax that
      anyone pays is on a retail purchase of a new item. No prison for non-payment,
      no huge bureaucracy filled with people who’s sole reason for existence is to
      keep track of you and take money from you at gunpoint if need be. Yes, guns
      aren’t commonly used to collect taxes, but the threat is always there.
      (Just stop paying and see how long it takes for the men with guns to show up.)
      People can avoid paying taxes entirely if they want, by only purchasing used stuff.
      Although that isn’t always practical. Used food still retains some nutritional
      value, but I wouldn’t want to throw it in a frying pan and eat it.
      As far as retirement goes, yes, I found it boring, too. Especially as I was limited
      by the injury that forced me into retirement. So I started a webcomic…
      And after that so-called repairman butchered my computer, it took me less than
      a year to learn how to build my own, to the point that I am now building very
      niche, specialized computers for a small market.
      I don’t make a lot of money at it… And of course, I have to pay taxes on what I
      earn. Even though the taxes I pay don’t even cover what the government spends
      to collect them. The Fair Tax gets rid of all that.
      Nobody sane wants the Police to stop arresting burglars because they can’t catch
      them all. What pisses rational people off is when the Police arrest a criminal and
      the Prosecutor lets them go, usually on some sort of “Restorative Justice” excuse,
      whatever that means.
      That only encourages criminals to continue being criminals and harming the innocent.
      Enough for now. I have a webcomic to write and two computers to finish.
