I watched the dumbest war flick 100 years ago…or part of it. It was set in WW1 and think I it was written by one of the retarded faggots or greasy old hippy/peaceniks that coagulate in their screenwriter’s dept. of the CBC…. Passchendale? I can’t remember what it was called. But…in one scene the hero of the show was squaring off against the Huns and gets into it with one in particular, and he vanquished the Jerry by ever-so-slowly shoving the bayonet on his .303 rifle…through the German’s head! It was supposed to be an emotional heart rending moment…but I just HAR HAR HARed myself silly! The German’s head must have had the consistency of a rotten cantaloupe? It’s just the usual flubdubbery that results when emoting women or liberal pacifists try to write about war and warriors. It’s like gerbils writing about what it is to be lions!
😂😆😂
I suppose I shouldn’t yap… I get squeamish at the thought of fighting with a blade. Id rather get shot than stabbed or sliced! JL has a great one up at his blog where ethnics culturally enrich each other at the mall…and someone gets punctured… I always used to think that if I had to do stupid things in close proximity to stupid people… I’d prefer to do it with a hawk or spontoon.
But the way those monkeys were bobbing and weaving…bantam roosters! Striking like snakes? Ya gotta swing one a these…and that takes time. Sure…it’s only fractions of a second… but wow… those violent monkeys were fast! I wouldn’t be at all surprised if all the perp had was one of those little quick-flipper Spyderco knives. Strop it to a razor…? And you are in business - if you can move fast enough.
Funny how things change, inninit? When I was a kid, the mall was a safe place for kids to hang out, play video games and relax.
I'd have to say that the way that guy is bleeding he isn't going to make it...
ReplyDeleteThat guy was DRT, dead right there. Hydraulic failure equals no oxygen to the noggin, equals DRT.
DeleteInadequate situational awareness can lead to no awareness.
Stay away from malls, crowds and joggers. RIP Ol' Remus.
Yup, bye bye.
DeletePeople underestimate the damage that can be done with a blade.
You DON’T generally “swing it like an axe” or a hatchet when fighting with a ‘hawk. As you point out, that takes time. Also, the winding up opens up your stance.
ReplyDeleteVery close up, you’re choked waaay up on the handle and punching with the head. At bad breath distance you might be jabbing with the ‘hawk. And a “miss” might not be. The outward stroke (jab) goes over his shoulder? Use the recurve of the head (the beard) to hook him on the BACK of the shoulder or upper arm, puncturing that part and pulling him off balance. A proper fighting ‘hawk will have a sharpened beard in addition to the “standard” edge,
Or so I’m told.

The lesson this old man learned from that video. Carry always. Shoot first and take your chances with a jury.
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't like 'Passchendaele', do yourself a favor and don't watch 'Hyena Road'.
ReplyDeletethey have more short muscle tissue in general whereas we all tend to long muscles
ReplyDeleteshort equals amazing speed
The trade-off is a lack of endurance.
DeleteThe bayonet-through-the-head scene is actually the entire reason that Paul Gross made "Passchendaele." It's based on an incident that Gross's grandfather would frequently talk about, where he (the grandfather) had come face to face with a young, unarmed(?) German soldier during the battle of Passchendaele, and then reflexively bayonetted him for reasons which he could never explain, but which seem to weigh heavily on the old man's conscience. Incidentally, I went to school with Gross's nephew. A very decent fellow. He was a reservist in the South Alberta Light Horse as an armour crewman, if I recall correctly.
