The Minuteman (circa 1774–1783)
The original American quick reaction force.
Farmers, blacksmiths, and shopkeepers who could be ready to fight in under 60 seconds.
Weapon: Smoothbore muskets, tomahawks, and guts.
Wars: American Revolution.
Notable Battles: Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill.
Uniform: Whatever they wore to church the day before.
Doctrine: Hit fast, melt into the trees. Repeat.
They weren’t professionals. They were citizens who decided tyranny had overstayed its welcome.
They didn’t wait for orders—they were the orders.
And if they lived long enough to run out of ammo, they just beat you with the musket.
Happy 250th, @USArmy . We started with dudes who smelled like pipe smoke and righteous anger.
This will be the first of every type of Soldier in the Army's history I post today. You'll see one every hour on the hour, all the way until midnight.
Isn't it funny how the very people who accuse someone else of something are really doing that and worse themselves . The lies are catching up with them
Happening now: working class natives are outraged after someone who looks like their daughter, brother etc is stalked and killed by a foreigner for the millionth time but like clockwork a bunch of university students and migrants come out to counter protest them.
Can't tell you how many times I got offered to go skydiving, bungee jumping, or parasailing in Brazil by street peddlers. Every instinct told me something like would happen if I did.
@Styx666Official I watch a Styx video evey now and then just to make sure you're alive. Hope things improve for you and we can all get the old chirpy, full set of teeth sticks back.
Every civilization gets the heroes it rewards. When the loudest cheers belong to those who entertain and the quietest gratitude belongs to those who defend, the nation begins consuming the inheritance of greater men. The crowd grows larger. The character grows smaller. Eventually the bill arrives.
.@proud_diplomat A peace settlement for Ukraine will only land when its future NATO aspiration is taken decisively off of the table. Anyone who still believes that Russia will give up on this clearest of redlines is dangerously misguided.

And not many people got a 30% pay increase over those years. Contrary to the paid shills and bots telling you its your fault you're poor because you bought coffee at Starbucks or lunch at McDonald's the problem is structural rather then personal.
Civilians will have difficulty understanding what I’m about to say.
But all we ever wanted in GWOT was to be as far away from the “flagpole” as possible.
To be off on our own in the hinterlands.
Getting shot at every day was preferable to the insufferable helicopter parenting the large bases were famous for.
So yes. We would rather be placed in a higher risk situation for our personal safety than suffer through some idiot yelling at us for not wearing a PT belt on a FOB.
It was these same people who would turn us away from the chow hall because we were too dirty after battle.
We would rather risk death on our own than be ruled by risk averse midwits.
No wonder Russia felt threatened by NATO in Ukraine. They probably watched what happened at Wuhan and thought that government control over a virus outbreak could very well happen on their border.
1 BIOLAB in Ukraine would be one thing, BUT 40? — Ex CIA analyst Larry Johnson speaks to RT about Gabbard release
'A script writer's darkest fantasy wouldn't be this perverse or this evil'
Laura Loomer continues to be mentally unstable. This posting commends Tulsi Gabbard for exposing US financing of bio labs long denied by the Biden and Obama administrations
Laura Loomer will not be in any future presidential campaign or Administration because one trusts her.
Laura has been has institutionalized twice for mental instability, and once told me she was considering killing herself by hanging when she couldn't get her social media platforms restored.
Remember the Mississippi couple Billy and Virginia Blair who were murdered in their home by 17 year old Cordarius Hobbs last week?
Turns out his two older brothers Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs were just caught after shooting a Covington County deputy during a traffic stop.
That deputy will never walk again.
Three brothers. One family. Two separate violent crimes in five days. This is the story the national media doesn't want to talk about?
