The War Wagon

[el caminero]

The one I've noticed as of late is the sound of the hammer on a Glock being cocked when either the cop or bad guy pulls it.
Wife and I are kind of bing watching "Murder in the Mountains on PBS passport... male cop shoots a bad guy who had a Glock 17 pointed at the female cop... in the inquiry later they are asking him if the safety was on on the gun? I'm commenting to my wife that there is no safety on that pistol and why would that matter even if there was? Of course we know what her answer was....

Fool's Gold, everytime bagg bunny fired his silver 1911, it went Pank!

As bad as gun guys can be, try watching a movie with a medical professional.

My wife is in imaging she is brutal at finding mistakes.

I feel your pain... Mine is a retired RN and loves to tear apart medical shows

My wife is addicted to Lifetime/Hallmark or some goofy channel like that which shows Christmas romance crap all year round and other silly stuff that often includes military members in the story.....it's such a joke to see the errors in the uniforms, grooming standards and etiquette. But I laugh it off if I happen to be in the room she's watching them. which results in a stare and my removal...

Thanks! I'll have to remember that technique when my wife starts watching one of those.

while in college, a while back, I worked third shift in a cotton mill. You got two 10 minute breaks as well as 30 at 'lunch'. ... unless you smoked ...they had special chairs in the corners of the mill with an ash tray for those that needed a smoke break.

My wife and I have been watching "Homeland" recently. Meh. I've seen better and worse. In a recent episode, an ex Marine sniper was supposedly planning to assassinate the president from a distance of a mile away.. He was, in the story line, the best of the best. It showed him sighting in his rifle at what appeared to be about 25 yards, with the bipod resting on a log and the butt supported only by his shoulder.

He didn't have to. He'd just wallop them with a big fist.

Chuck Norris and Superman got into a fight. The loser had to wear his underwear on the outside. Maybe Superman was not interested in fighting John Wayne.

I ve hear cops coming into a building all is quiet looking for the bad guy and you hear a slide racking.

My grandmother smoked unfiltered Camels. One day she decided to quit, so she did. She was probably in her 60s maybe. She lived to be 102.
MY great grandmother lived to be 99 1/2. They all said, I guess that snuff finally got her.

I remember in basic training there were little 4 packs of Camels on the tables in the mess hall. Those of us that smoked, grabbed what we could. You couldn't have 'pogey bait' but did get a 'smoke break' occasionally.

Take a break smoke em if you got em. Basic training Fort Bliss

In '93 we weren't allowed to smoke in Basic.... I had to take my smoke breaks in the shower where the vent would expel it out of the roof..... Ft. Benning.

I know people who started smoking just for the extra breaks. I started taking the same smoke breaks and eating sunflower seeds instead of smoking.

Management always was threatening me, but they never pushed the issue.

One thing I noticed about smokers is they usually work hard in between their smoke breaks to make up for it.

Watching a British show "Spooks" and a guy's Beretta magically became a Glock when he handed it to another guy.

I really like how cops on TV yell "Lock and Load!" before they burst through a door. In retrospect, I haven't seen that in a while.

As others have said, TV writers screw everything up. Spies have magical USB drives that can download a terabyte in less than five minutes. People driving cars with standard transmissions shift into high gear and then a minute later shift again and again and again.

Used to smoke years ago. The reason why I started was because when we were on work detail in the Navy occasionally they would call for a smoke break for those that had them. So all the smokers would fallout and spend 10-15 minutes laid up against a rock or a tree smoking a cigarette while the rest of us had to keep working. That’s when I decided I needed to start smoking.
Years later i decided to stop smoking. It was when my 2 1/2 year-old granddaughter came up to me and asked me why I smoked and I told her — she said pawpaw. I would like you to quit smoking so you’ll be around for my graduation from school. I quit that day.

Years ago I worked for a state DOT. The smokers took smoke breaks about every hour while the rest had to keep working. My secretary and I got a bunch of candy cigarettes and started taking smoke breaks. The smokers didn’t like that and ratted on us. They lost their smoke breaks…

The best part of The War Wagon is the opening montage with Ed Ames singing the theme song.
