RPG Fishing

I see our soldiers have been exporting some redneck culture over to Afghanistan, as evidenced by this video of Afghanis using Soviet-made RPG's to blast some catfish out of the water.

Gawd, I hate the idea of nuance.  Years ago, before John Kerry made a mockery of himself and that smarmy word, nuance, what you describe here would have been called "Yankee Ingenuity."  Now it’s condescendingly known as "redneck culture?"

Take at good look at that video again.  Y’all see any pickup trucks… or doublewides… or Camaros up on blocks?   Just cause we don’t keep snowshovels in our garage, don’t mean we keep RPG’s instead.

We may be well armed down here, but I happen to know y’all got some damn fine bird huntin’ up there in the Dakotas too.  Lighten up on that redneck stuff, will ya?

You can give a man a fish or you can teach him to fire an RPG.

If you think about it, it’s a very conservative notion.

You get overkill and self-reliance in one package.

You assume that North Dakota doesn’t have rednecks, and that I used the term derisively.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Nope, I can’t figure out how to build my "independent street-red" in this thread.  It’s just too damn funny.

Did you notice that Bat typed - Y’all?  Classic!

We really should increase funding for our soldiers, if they have so little food that they’re forced to use RPGs to kill fish for their survival.

That, or those soldiers (at least) are all sadists.
