We may not be in the best shape, but we would be the Best Armed. 😂

Why you gotta disparage the GBGD Community like that Mark? 🤔
A Platoon/Co. Size Element of GBGD Members, pissed off - in a bad mood due to various ailments, over the hill, age, not inclined to give another inch. What's not to love? Suicide Squad. (Dirty Dozen)
We can call it the "Expendables," X 4.
The "Old Heavily Armed Geezer Platoon."
Don't make us run. It will not turn out really well for you. 😂
Heck I could still equip a unit of 100 members with a military surplus rifle or carbine and two sidearms (one revolver and one pistol)
Each would be issued a bayonet and at least 120 rounds of ammo for the primary long arm...
10 proper military sniper rifles are available - a good force multiplier for irregular troops...
Call me Centurion - pick one senior NCO per decade of troops (platoon or ten) we would make a decent rear guard or sacrificial holding force in defensive position - especially an urban environment...
Heck I bet we have easily 100 qualified snipers who could bring their own MIL spec equipment including several .50 bmg rifles or machine guns as heavy weapons section troops or anti vehicle troops...
Perhaps we have a handful of cohern mortars or reproduction Civil war era light field pieces and off-road capable technical support vehicles to transport them and the ammo and support staff...
Each sniper would get a spotter and a loader - effective 3 man teams.
Mark Christian with twenty garand armed troops.
A canine Corp and sappers or ied mine specialists.
Tractors available and useable in the toe???
A gunclub member in town has a restored half track and an M113 APC circa 1980 national guard set up...
Air assets might be doable.

Maybe call it the "BA OG Light Infantry Unit."
Pretty sure our Combined Arms, would be formidable, behind the experience behind it.
Personally, I would no like to go up against us. 😥
Perhaps our Knowledge and Arms are better widely dispersed. Such as it exists now.
We can call ourselves, the OGSRRU.
The Old Geezer Somewhat Ready Response Unit.
I have whatever it would take to equip. a couple squads with whatever they need, as I am sure most on here could do that as well.
Again, "The Old Geezer Somewhat Ready Response Unit." OGSRRU.
Pretty sure the BLM, Antifa contingient has nothing like that, (let alone experience) to counteract that which is ready to come "on line" if necessary. I really hate that for them.
"Well, it looks like I'm now a rifleman. Can some moderator/NCO explain to me why I can't be a sniper?"

Or a Modern Remington. 😂😂😂
My little stalker.
My little Remington basher. I sold my Sig SSG 3000. Profits off of it purchased this 300 Win Mag. I have no doubt it will shoot great after I break it in. Now since Remington's aren't no good come on and take the challenge. Since the 25/06 is a tack driver I really look forward to something that will reach out to 1300 yd. Now if you have a SSG Steyr, Sig 3000 or custom I might need a handicap. But remember it is the guy behind the gun that makes it perform.... and I have been shooting long range for a very long time. Mr. Sharpshooter says send it.
Good call.
Truth.
😈😉
Thanks!!!! He can carry the ammo.
Mark are you suggesting that several troops be fragged lest they do more damage to unit integrity and combat efficiency then a foreign invasion force???
Or that some troops need to be picked to be on point until our internal issues resolved themselves???
Red Dawn original cut people - Wolverines!!!
Or like the resistance in "V" the TV series...
The enemy's gate is down - we are the Kwisatz Haderach???
Okay maybe more of a mchales navy or Gomer Pyle or f-troop or Hogan's Hero's type of force rather than what I proposed...
I am not fomenting rebellion against our government - this is not Ruby ridge or Waco - humorous talk about a science fiction novel alien invasion or an 80's movie fictional red dawn foreign invasion hypothetical literary mental exercise...
Certainly not rioting or looting or protesting or vandalizing or police defending or toppling the opposition like antifa or blm or acorn are doing now for real - just funny fantasy talk.

No pancake or waffle emoji - sorry.

Their first meeting would be a hoot, with most of them wanting to be "in charge".
Damn. I appear to have whacked the Hornets Nest.
Muster at 0500.

I will bring you my copy of " the anarchists cookbook" and you can make plastique for dinner (I prefer det blocks / compound B)...
I have had all of those anarchist series books from paladin press since the 1980's - anybody remember those books???
We have several great and one noted professional chefs on the board - I expect miracles from MRE's and drive through take out (no taco bell - like Mr. Grenade once the pin has been pulled Mr. dysentery is not your friend)...
Tannerite and tidepods into fuel air mines and napalm???
Unit patch logo suggestions???
Unit standard logo and flag design???
Mods and admin earn 1.5X their GB base salary when deployed.
