Preparing For WAR | Self Reliance | At The Range Podcast 

Can we stop pretending a kid on the internet who has zero experience has a clue on anything? Vets are a small number. They cannot withstand a large force nor does the word veteran mean weapon specialist. Most can’t even load a firearm kiddo.

@frogmantactical sounds like "frogman" is butthurt. Explain the besandled goat fuckers who sent us home humiliated in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. You have a very naive point of view. Surely, someone with a moniker like "frogman" should have some idea about the effectiveness of determined insurgencies.

Hey, froggy, use your infinite depth of experience to explain why we are consistently being humiliated by besandled civilians. For someone with a moniker like "frogman" you seem painfully uninformed about asymmetrical warfare.

@@frogmantactical I read a lot of history, have no military experience myself, and have relatives overseas in the IDF. So keep that in mind as you read my comment. From what I have read, ammunition supply and logistics are going to be more important in any long-term engagement between a civilian populace and their government. If you run out of bullets or have no way of getting more to the areas where they are needed all the firearms in the world become no better than a baseball bat. In 1775, the patriots surrounded Boston for 11 months but had no way to capture Boston and force them to leave even after Washington was appointed general in July of 1775. It took Henry Knox traveling 180 miles in the dead of winter to bring 60 tons of cannon and much-needed gunpowder from Fort Tiochndra which finally enabled the patriots to force the redcoats out of Bostin in March of 1776. When Israel declared independence they were invaded by 7 countries. They had been able to acquire many surplus Eastern Bloc rifles but had a shortage of ammunition for many of them. They built a secret underground ammunition facility and created the logistics needed to get the ammunition where it needed to go. If the United States devolves into a civil war in my lifetime, I would envision that nearly every retail gun store is going to run out of ammo really quick. The US Army's Lake City Ammunition plant can produce 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition a year. Of what calibers I have no idea but they have 9 of those plants and then 5 more storage facilities. Anyway, you are a trained military expert, so I would appreciate your opinion on this topic and possible solutions. Either via a written response or by making a video to address it. Thank you for your time. Love your videos.

They definitely had their fighting down to an art form.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the knowledge

Great comment and recollection of history Also a great tactic

Thank you I did not know that but it makes perfect sense

They were also pdf files - young boys by their "mentors." Cum grano salis

Amen to that

@@woolywil10 The people of Palestine included

@@daniel8728 the people of Palestine is not the problem. It the murderous Hamas that targets civilians because they cannot control their emotions or fight soldier to soldier

@@woolywil10 The problem is Apartheid state of Israel that oppresses the Palestinian people. While Hamas attack was terrorist, Israel worked to get Hamas recognised because they knew Hamas opposed the two state solution. Now Israel committing war crimes by indiscriminately killing civilians.

Spot on, Shalom

I don’t understand how anyone American or any human for that matter would be offended by “non-military” having equal tools to the government. Unless of course there are ulterior motives. Remember, when tyranny comes knocking it comes in a uniform. There was a time (long long ago) when we could assume with 90% certainty that a military guy would be on the side of freedom. We cannot assume that anymore. This was taught to me by my father who was career military. He taught me that just because someone is part of some “good guy group” doesn’t me they are trustworthy. Individual character is king. Period.

Thank you for saying this, sir! Seriously. I am not former military nor LE but, I can and WILL fight along side with you other Americans! The only thing I ask is that, if we have to go there, you guys give us direction. THANK YOU!

@@thefreedomwarriorAbsolutely!

Military always considers themselves elite and superior to the general populous. And time and time again the body bags are filled by trained troops killed by civilians who take up arms. The US started that way. And the US has buried thousands of soldiers, Vietnam, Iraq, recent.

People being mad normal citizens want to protect themselves and be prepared for battle is the dumbest shit on the face of the earth. Just because ur not military forfeits you your right to protect and learn how to defend yourself ? Only a real bitch of a human would oppose that.

Maybe this is what will change minds

The spirit is there in many but lost in the masses. I believe you are correct and strong communities will survive but the road is bumpy.

more like they punish anyone who does protect themselves.

I kind of disagree and the reason is 9-11.I truely think that if we were getting invaded that day and NY was their landing zone everyone in this country would walk there if they had to. The enemy wouldn't have a chance.Even if they hit us from 5 different points they would be run over by pure POWER!!! Now if we stay on the same path and let the left have their way we will be a nation of fools.But I think we still have time.PLEASE vote!!!

2nd amendment is fine but we have many other laws.

Is there another amendment you folks know other than the 2nd????

It really is that simple

​@@victormedellin4428without the 2A , the rest become privileges the government can take away. Just like the constitution was supposed to be a guide of what the fed gov can and can't do, was supposed to be.

Most , nearly all people in America are complacent. They simply don’t think it can happen here . They’re wrong .

🖕 izz-rye-ill

You know who was also unarmed and mainly kids under the age of 18, the thousands of Palestinians Israel has been killing and imprisoning for over 23 years in the west bank alone leading up October 7th. What happened on October 7th was wrong we can all agree on that. But we can’t seem to accept the fact that it was retaliation for years of oppression

@@deanhamed8450 The answer to that is simple. Keep your kids at home and don't let them throw rocks at police or stab old ladies at the bus stop.

@@raifclusterreally? Throwing rocks at military jeeps that come into your village is an excuse to kill people? I was thinking the better answer would be ending an internationally recognized occupation would be the solution. But I guess we live in two different realities

@@raifclusterthe answer to that is NOT simple at all. You have to understand WHY they have been rebelling for so long. When you learn history, you start to see the complexity of regional conflict and have a better understanding.

Kill, you say? The Marines await.

Do you want to see the world young man?! Does 3 hots and a cot sound tempting?! If thats a yes! Come on the winning side!? Go Army! Boo Navy! 😂

I would much rather know that you were a man of God who fought to protect what God has given you. At least then, I'd know that you are with The Lord Jesus Christ.

​@@JesusistheonetrueGodfake Christian lol

@@JesusistheonetrueGod nahhhh you

@@Spicydeluxecombo what gave you that idea?

Ego ruins everything. Humility opens many doors including one of the most important ones "wisdom" It is so valuable to watch content of people that are not breathing superiority or they think too high of themselves, is easy to digest without the annoying distractions of the boasters. survival Patriots I like it !

In the civil war literally SLAVES fought for both sides and were some of the most hardened fighters. Im a black guy from the north....i have armor, battle rifles and i train. I'll be damned if somebody tries to shame me out of protecting my family

Each man is in charge of the security of his family. Anyone standing in the way is the enemy.

And in fact the regular civilian can become a very good soldier

And you, sir, are a Dad! The absolute highest honor along with being a Mom. God bless you and your family.

Same here in Canada. It’s done and dead, not many are aware either.

The US is still alive, but on life support. Don't give up, we are the last stand for freedom in this world. If we are lost, the world is lost

Thats America. Protection of family and love of brother. The part that you speak of is the part that is required to die in order for the other to thrive.

It’s not dead. That’s part of the lie you’ve been sold to demoralize the population from fighting back both figuratively and literally. I guarantee you, there is significantly more people out there willing to take stand than not, the media, social or mainstream, will not show you this because the media and social media play are DS and elite establishment funded and designed to keep the small percentage of the DS in power and everyone else begging for scraps, and too scarred to stand up.

Maybe what is coming will start to bring us back together. Might be a blessing in disguise?

Yes, look at Uvalde Texas. Anyone can wear a costume.

@@ciri1993 Yes, look at anywhere america. Anyone can wear a gun, nobody fucking uses them except against kids!

Moron

Broad statements like this are dangerous I think. Some cops suck but not as many as the news and internet would have us believe. They “retreated” because they didn’t have any backing. Imagine doing your job to the best of your ability and to protect others only to be thrown in jail and/or receive death threats to you and your family you now can’t protect.

Cops have no honor or duty to protect us.. they trample are rights every day they are the greatest threat to Americans

Agreed. Keep in mind, fitness is the most important thing.

Well said, very well said. If I most likely will be tortured and die not fighting back then common sense and probability says chance are better to fight back. If I go down at least they may lose some and my death will not be clear score for them.

@@markcarpenter7437 I agree

Absolutely! Everyone has worth! We are Americans! We MUST STAND TOGETHER AS ONE! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JLo2pYsOCSo.htmlsi=ulVKoX3HmXhzN3vN

@@raytrammell9452 Yes, sir, brother! And, it'll put a smile on my face just like apple pie, baseball and seeing Old Glory fly in the free wind!

I noticed you say handgun permit. Are they also able to acquire semi-auto rifles? Handgun is better than nothing but not really what you want as your primary weapon against the likes of Hamas.

@@gregaldr Hey dude. A rifle is a wishful thinking I guess in our case, don't push it haha

Your comment warms my heart. There are so many of us…

Israel should be no less than Switzerland where every able-bodied man has his service weapon at his home at all times with a combat load of ammunition and relevant equipment Every few households form a rifle squad This really shows us the bloody consequences of tolerating anti-self defense leftists in positions of power, all they do is make life easy for the enemy

The fact that you are still having to get government approval for a “tool” to defend your family is somewhat baffling.

Been 33 years since I’ve been to Israel. Back then the citizen neighborhood watches patrolled armed. When did the citizens disarm?

You never ever give up your ability to defend yourself to whatever extent you deem necessary

@@h.r.puffnstuff8705 yeah it’s depends where are you living, if you are near a border, usually the kibutz/city/town will have those guys, they are called the ‘Emergency squad’ they are performing ongoing task like patrol, stationary positions, drills once awhile, the army start neglecting them, As we progressed, the generals, went into the smart small army conception, which was a mistake, and we all know what happened in Oct 7 I arrived the army the same day, and i got a shity vest with with flask jacket beneath lol, not enough ceremic, i am talking about 300k soldiers arriving as reserve, the army preferred to invest in a brand new F35 but not a tactical vest with ceremic plates built in for its reserve We had to count on donations for this funny and sad the same time

Israel is a Police state.

Sounds like something g the USA would do. 🤔

I did some research about a year ago to see if an American could come over with their firearm/s or, if the israeli citizenry could even own guns themselves. They don't have a 2A and any resident that wants to own a firearm for protection, has to prove why they need one. Also, after going through their extensive process to actually own one, if they permit you to after the scrutiny you can only possess 50 rounds at a time. They need to look again at their idiotic policies.

Tat's why you don't ask for permission to protect yourself. You just do it. Lawful gun owner's man.

Should've just worn the stupid mask.

You probably do, you just aren’t acquainted with them.

Prepare for the worse, hope for the best. That's a better way to put it

Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you want peace, prepare for war)

@@morganh2800 also good

​@@AaaaandYerDhemwhere did you think the saying "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" derived from the Latin "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum” (If you want peace, prepare for war). The Latin saying became popular again from the movies "The Punisher" and was used in abbreviated form in John Wick 3.

​@Saintbow I've said: "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best." My entire life. The way the OP said it, it didn't make sense. I'm not preparing for peace, bro. Stop trying to be a know it all on the internet. Its annoying .

The average American is a moron. The thing with averages is the other half is even less Intelegence. Done trying to be nice anymore.

I still can't believe 9-11-2001 what happened 😢 where were the MEN ON THOSE FLIGHTS

@@danerickson1632That’s a pretty insulting thing to say especially considering a group of men on one plane overpowered the terrorists and sacrificed themselves to bring it down where it wouldn’t hurt others. The men on the other planes had no idea what was about to occur and were trying to stay calm and rational in what they thought was a hostage situation. Shame on you for badmouthing the dead like that.

What do you think the likelihood of something like Israel will happen in the USA? 50% ? 10%? Just wondering

100% I've told plenty of people around me that they need to buy an AR and train with it. Most all give me a look like I'm a nut. At this point I'm done saying anything to anyone about it, if you can't see by now what's going on then you are lost....

I agree completely with you on that comment,,, big picture here is this question??????? How in the world did Israel and America for that matter,,, NOT know this was coming?????? My guess is that they did know but did nothing to prevent it! Until it was too late!

I was under the impression that’s how it was there to begin with. Sure active personal Carried I did t know gen pop didn’t or sorta couldn’t 😢 here on out they should demand it. And rise up if someone elected is against it.

I’ve fought alongside of Israeli’s and have nothing but absolute respect for them as people and warriors. What I can’t understand is why when a country requires everyone to serve in their military that they would disarm them after serving. It makes no sense.

It is a very hard transition and then fully understanding what it means to act physically during a spiritual attack. It is an awesome process for sure. 🙏

Not going to happen. If ALL Americans felt that way we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. Having said that, history shows us it only takes about 3%.

To anyone that can’t afford professional training friend veterans. Helping you train can quite possibly be helping them by giving them a purpose.. One without an ego preferably..

@@lanejohnson7656 Ahhhh yes I never thought of it from that angle but I can see that. Thanks for that suggestion!

@@sincityguns3460 I couldn’t serve. Was fortunate to be a step son to a Nam Marine vet as well as friends with Marines and Rangers. No formal training but have had a ton of help with my training. Even having coffee at the convenience store with a WW2 vet just talking tactics and such can be beneficial. Watching his eyes light up and seeing him smile is worth it even more.

@@lanejohnson7656 I hear that. My uncle was a nam vet and we have had many great conversations about his time over there. Crazy crazy stuff.

Welcome aboard.

Kibbutz(im) means village. Thanks for that. I thought meant having a party. And yes, 1% service being bad news is makes sense.

Thank you for your services. I am a combat veteran, and I spend 17 years active duty. You are right to create a small defense combat community unit it will be hard. We veterans we can only do so much in an emergency situation.

Don’t forget only a small amount of the military actually trains up for battle on foot, and even fewer actually see any real combat. I read somewhere that like 80% of the military is support staff.

​@@Reviews4fun1just because a veterans (job) isn't infantry, doesn't mean they don't have combat training or experience. A soldier who wants to survive the worst situation is always preparing.

@@dwmaddawgs I’ve met a lot of military vets who can barely shoot and definitely weren’t taught how to hold a gun properly. Nothing is stopping them to take the initiative outside of the military, like me.

Don't be a drugged out edm freak: check.

No thank you, to me guns are terrifying. We do have two Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs however, besides for me it seems like if someone was to shoot a person in a self defense situation, it seems like the only person in trouble is the defender.

@@murphyrod4839 You are telling me that if a mass shooter enters the movie theater you are in and you and your family dive to the floor, and you hear the shooter calmly walk through the theater executing people, and as you hear the shooter's steps approach where you cower in fear...you mean to tell me you would say no thank you to being handed a gun at that moment?

​@@murphyrod4839why are you on a channel like this?

@@murphyrod4839 That's exactly the way they want you to feel.

​@@murphyrod4839I am a older woman 👵 and had never carried a gun but now they want you at home when they break in when it used to be the other way around. Please help defend yourself because what they are doing to older people is horrible 😞 😢

Hmmmm healthy dose of common sense right there.

Amen yes

Self-defense, with deadly force if necessary, is a moral obligation. You won't find that in the new testament because it doesn't exist (I searched for it). You find the parable of the guarded house by the strong man Luke 11 vs 21 (which is talking about guarding spiritual assets, not physical humans and assets), and selling your cloak to buy a sword (Luke 22 vs 36, that is not talking about a physical sword; it is talking about a spiritual sword to defend against the devil's work, the sword being a strong foundation in the "Word of God"). When Peter used his sword to defend the Jesus character in the story, Jesus chastised him and healed the servant of the high priest that tried to arrest him. "Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword" (Matt 26 vs 52) is what he said to him. The bible tells you to forgive enemies over and over again or else the Christian will not get into heaven and be forgiven. Even judging them in their actions to destroy you is verboten according to the bible. "Judge not lest ye be judged" (Matt 7 vs 1-3) Who are enemies? At least we get to determine who they are, because it is pretty obvious to me. They are Hamas, fitful violent communists, carjackers, rioters, armed robbers, home invaders, thieves, rapists, child molesters, murderers, muggers, and people that beat others up because they have the wrong skin color. Those are all my enemies. Nowhere and noway can forgiveness, compassion and mercy be coupled with potentially deadly self-defense. You don't destroy people you love, and those who love you back don't attempt to destroy you either. In fact, it tells you in two different verses (Matt 5 vs 44, and Luke 6 vs 27-35) to "Love your enemies." There is no enacted love in defending yourself from enemies. Even calling the cops would be off limits if the bible is to be used as instruction on how to deal with enemies. Love is an action verb, and it means to sacrifice some of your resources to someone you care about and to enact mercy. Mercy literally means to enact less justice than what the offender deserves and to give your enemies clemency (kindness and forgiveness). I have no care for enemies, no compassion and no love either; and it doesn't make sense to enact any kind of compassion for someone that is doing their best to destroy you or yours or take everything you have. I offer violent enemies zero clemency, because that move cannot withstand the slightest scrutiny. I don't hate enemies either. If hate is an action verb, then it would mean to enact some disproportionate cruelty to the enemy, like destroy or torture his innocent children because of his actions to you and your family or friends (kind of like how Hamas did to Israelis over religious hate compulsions) This is yet another clue to know how we can easily tell the bible is not a guide to morality. It is a guide to moral confusion and hesitancy when it comes to dealing with enemies. The Word only promises to enact violent, forever "justice" to those who question all the nonsensical claims (blasphemy) in the bible with no lessons learned. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy, not murder or even genocide. Lastly, all of these post-death justice and post death rewards claims are all unfalsifiable claims, so we can dismiss them without evidence. It's about time we as Americans start thinking in common sense instead of this bewitchment with confusing and nonsensical dogma.

Would love to hear the story behind that

“Right after the attacks…” and that says it all. Too little too late. The Israeli government would have benefited greatly by reading, “Left of Bang” by Patrick Van Horne and Jason A. Riley. Knowledge is power. They weren’t knowledgeable.

Your vacation doesn't count as overseas in this context. If that force is also well armed and well trained, chances are your fucked. They won't be matching in formation like the colonial days. They will be shooting and moving too. All you will do is give them a little pause. The fact that you think "shoot and move" will keep you alive in almost any fight tells me you're likely a poser.

That’s the drum I beat. 50yr old that was unable to serve but fortunate enough to be the step son of a Nam Marine vet as well as friends with Marines and Rangers. Not professionally trained but have a crap load of help training. Even got a huge smile and urgency to help me from a WW2 vet. Seek them out. Great chance you will be helping them out as well by giving them a purpose.

@@johnjames5842 only if it was

It should be 30,000 rounds and fully automatic rifles with a backup pistol. Seriously why would the Israeli government want to handicap it’s citizens after experiencing the most brutal massacre of Jews since Hitler’s gas chambers in Nazi Germany.

What is the Israeli government so worried about? So the stupid permits and ammo restrictions. Just arm the dam people already... Geez

Go play paint ball or airsoft? Its relatively cheap compared to actual ahooting and you will the get experience of force on force training. It may humble some people out there and reveal how out of shape they are and how we all arent rambo and that every movement and decision you make during a fire fight can be the difference between life and death.

​@@robertwallace4515 I agree, I play airsoft and tbh its the closest you can get to the real thing IF you treat it like actual training You learn A TON about human behaviour and your own behaviour in a firefight.

Can you carry where alcohol is served in Maine? In my state you can but your not allowed to drink at all. I doubt any was armed. Its all rumors until its official. Imagine the concussive effect of the shooter touching off .308 rounds in tight quarters. Takes a lot of focus and some luck to realize whats happening then where he is then engage quickly.

​@graywind4326 I actually live in Lewiston, Maine. The law here is pretty much the same. Your blood alcohol content cannot be 0.08% or higher. However, both places had "No Firearms Allowed" signs. Legally, if you have a Concealed Carry Permit in Maine and an establishment with a liquor license post's those signs, you are not allowed to carry inside. I'm not 100% sure, but to the best of my knowledge, no one was armed in either place.

So, they were unarmed. This is still a lesson for all of us as we do not know who continues to walk into the country unvetted. I would like to see residents fight those laws, as more results like this can occur.

Yesterday is not today mister. Get out there. LOL Damn it, now I'm thinking about loading my rifle bags and heading out. You suck, now I have to practice. LOL

Best thing you can do is get out while you can. You NEVER want to hunker down in a city. Escape if/when things start to heat up. Best prevention is to not be there

Yea , a paster and crew . Klipped 7 or 8 bad guys.

I had people I know in or near that area, Hamas we very well armed with RPG's , the bigger issue was they knew where the security was stationed and were able to take out the electronic eyes and ears. Spoke with a relative who got into the fight quick, said many of the Hamas were trained in some level of CQB and made house to house fighting difficult. Said community security teams were decimated in the first wave.

💯 my friend. Never let anyone convince you otherwise. 🙏

@@frogmantactical I wish you guys were here in upstate ny because I feel like I’m the only one that wants to protect my valley and little town. We have a lot of unusual activities going down in the Mohawk Valley area and sadly it’s getting worse. A lot of refugees are moving up here and pushing us out and now with what the government wants to push with us “3%ers” we can not do anything like this because we will get red flagged for doing militia activities but in my eyes I see it has us Americans citizens being ready for anything.
