Thank you tax payers

#1

Post by E.Marquez »

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all those tax payers from 1985 to 2014

Over those years I fired tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition that you paid for never once given it much of a thought until I had to buy some of my own 5.56 today

So thank you I had a blast

Well at least when they were not shooting back at me anyway.

And thank you for being willing to shoot all that "free" ammo. I suspect your investment was sincere and more than balanced a few rounds of 5.56.

Yes. Thank you. I'm glad to pay for your ammunition so I can continue enjoying shooting mine. I think it's more than a fair trade.

Yep, glad and proud to support those willing to serve... I wish they would have given you your service rifle as a going away gift!

Yeah, and thanks for all the 105MM APFSDS rounds as well. Those were lots of fun!

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I have fired 1,000's of 80mm and 120mm mortar rounds. Honestly I never crossed my mind how much they cost either! (But thank you)
