Sounds like a swell guy.

The guys at reddit/usmc dug up some info on him.

Got relieved for having an “inappropriate relationship” with a female captain, according to a Marine Corps spokesman.

Hates the nra and the thought of us common folk owning an AR15

They can say whatever they want and their subjects will eat it up

Kind of funny read. I had a friend that was shot between the eyes with a M-16 in Vietnam. It was during a firefight and the Cong had a captured M-16. When the fight was over his comrades told him to lie down a copter was on its way to evacuate him. He didn't know why as he did not realize he had even been shot. He did have a scar between his eyebrows and another at one of his temples and a steel plate in the back of his head, but no real damage. He became a local politician. The big joke was to ask Fred how much brain damage he suffered. His reply was, "it depends if you are asking a Democrat or a Republican.

How far away was the shooter from him when he was shot? At 400 yards, a 5.56 NATO round hits about like a close range shot from a .22 LR.

GI's have much harder heads than the average wanker so that will have to be factored in. Plus, they wore steel helmets w/liners that tended to slow down or stop errant pieces of metal flying thru the sky. Scar on the side of that fella's head makes me think it wasn't a direct zero deflection impact.

Fred never mentioned that. When asked if he liked or hated the M-16 he said it nearly killed him and also saved his life. The Cong that was shooting at him got a jam with his M-16 and stood up to clear the jam. The last thing he ever did. To make matters worse for Fred, on his return flight home while in a wheelchair in the San Fran airport, an antiwar protester stabbed him in the chest with a 6" fixed blade knife. Fred was apparently either too dumb to die or too tough to die. After knowing him for years I can't entirely rule out either option.

The Military is the only way.

Colonel Sanders isn’t wrong:

Obviously, a self-proclaimed expert.

Liberals in congress will be using this picture as proof positive the 223 will saw a man in half.

That and hiring JohnnyLoco to testify about how it can decapitate. 😂😂😂😂

as a high level trained combat medic....among other medical training Uncle Sam gave me when I served in uniform...

I was around in the early days of Vietnam.. I was a military dependent in the 60s... and being a military family, much of my old man's world revolved around about anything over Vietnam, especially from 1966 on....He went on to spend 49 months over there straight.

I got to read all the stuff, that he got on what the 223 round would do and why.. how it was designed to hit and tumble... designed more to incapacitate enemy troops than kill them... it could hit you in your shoulder and come out your ass...and messing up all the organs in your body in its path in and out.... Most of Vietnam was all short range fighting in the jungle vs longer range in Iraq, Afghanistan more in the open...

From personal experience, I can tell you that tumbling was from the bullet hitting certain mass at its velocity, within a short range .... yet you slow that bullet down, it will punch thru a lot of mass without ever tumbling... 91 Charlie training, taught us about that in teaching us how to take care of wounds...The Soviets later went down to 22 caliber bullets in the AKs, for the exact same reason... even learned more later on the Soviet design, which is contrary to the Geneva Convention... they aren't signers of it.. nor are the Chinks...etc.

If this guy is claiming it can cut a body in half, with one round, he is lying or being misleading for political purposes...

A high volume of fire tho, about any round can cut a body in half... hit with enough bullets....

hell over time I cut down a couple of pine trees over time, but single shooting a 223, one shot at a time into it as a back stop....

There is a big difference in a 223 in a AR 15, vs a full auto M16... but then we are talking short range and high volume of fire...

just because you see something on the internet, don't believe it all like you are some blind democRAT following the party's propaganda...

I wouldnt question the good Colonels credentials but I do accuse him of being a liar.

People are too eager to sell their souls these days. I wonder how much he got for his?
