MG Al-Samarae and a kewl new shirt

Hey all, sorry we've fallen way behind again. The two of us have been busy as any ten doorkickers on bring-your-qat-to-work-day in Khartoum during the hottest afternoon of the year. Things have really been hopping. We've got one minion that put on Gunny, one doing some cool stuff at Ft. Polk, one who's been working controlled grows in the midwest (though the Forestry Service will not openly admit they are cartel-run due to political expediency), one going to Europe as part of a Wounded Warrior long-distance bike ride and another that moved from patrol to the local DTF...makes it hard to get any of the clowns to update with any regularity but we will start cracking the whip!

Anyway two thing real quick. One of our minions visited a different minion at Ft. Polk during the Darley Defense Day at Ft. Polk (well, it was supposed to be on Ft. Polk, but a highly paid marplot with a lot of stroke in the garrison ranks there got his jockeys twisted up at the last minute...more on that later) so we spent a couple days in the dubious metropolis of Leesville. That was interesting to say the least. Luckily all our shots are current and we had plenty of DEET, so all was well. In any case, while we were there we got to meet Major General Mohammed al-Samarae (whom discerning readers may remember from the rescue of Australian engineer Douglas Woods), who now lives in the USA. He works as an OPFOR adviser on Ft. Polk and appears to be well-liked by the troops we met (which hopefully chafes the Australian politicians that denied his request for asylum after the better part of his unit and several of his family members were murdered by AQI in retribution for his assistance to coalition forces). We'll write more up on that later, but here's the picture. We know, it's not a very good picture, but our minion had a hangover after trying to keep up with some guys he never should have tried to keep up with. (The screams of GERONIMO! during one ill-advised round of tequila shots will echo hauntingly in his dreams for years to come...)




















In other news, the guys at Going Loud Tactical Outfitters are now apparently working out of Missouri (PCS? Not sure.) They've got someone new running the day to day workings of the business, shipping their stuff, and are apparently still in the business of teaching pro-bono courses. We are attending a tracking course with them outside of Kansas City if all goes well, but it really depends on whether we get back from a sniper course with Angry Dave of AmericanSnipers.org fame in time. The shirt is an updated take on their popular "Valor/Plutarch" shirt, which has apparently been their biggest seller. Speaking with us via Skype from San Antonio, one of Slim's handlers' friends assured us the new shirts were "moto as hell and spoke a good message". We assume that means they are sewn and printed with quality in mind, but who knows.















These shirts are available at Going Loud Tactical Outfitters while supplies last.

More to follow on MG Al-Samarae, please check back in! (And make sure to hit us up on Facebook.)

Grunts, Gyrenes, Devil Dogs and others of the USMC

The last motivation poster we shared went over pretty well. Hopefully this will too.






















Let us know what you think.

Officer involved shooting (UDA suspect)

We here at BreachBangClear.com would like to point this out to the bleeding hearts, or the close-minded jackasses that want to tell us we're evil or mean or malicious because we support border control, the Arizona law or anything else relating to Undocumented Aliens.

http://blutube.policeone.com/media/4115-Dashcam-footage-of-officer-being-shot/


One of our friends was shot twice last year in Tulsa by an illegal (thankfully he survived too, though it was close), and there a host of other crimes perpetrated by the criminal element in the UDA population. Does that mean all illegal aliens are evil? No. That doesn't change the fact that we should be controlling our borders. Oh, and before anyone responds with anything negative about the Arizona law, DO NOT do so before you actually read the law...since if you did bother to read the law you'd agree with us. Thank God this officer lived.

If you're a cop, learn from this video to improve your chances of surviving. Anyone that watches, ask yourself what the liberals would tell this Trooper's family if he hadn't survived? "Sorry, but some of those illegals are just nice people trying to work." Yeah, no shit. Some of them are. Some of them AREN'T, and the government's job is to protect its citizens.

How about we see less hyperbole and more action to keep things like this from happening again to anyone else? We're sorry it sucks in Mexico and elsewhere, we really do. We just don't think American citizens, American families, or LEGAL immigrants should suffer because of some misguided charitable tendency on the part of people that have probably never been shot at, stabbed, robbed, assaulted or raped by someone in this country illegal (those crimes being far more noticeable than the economic impact).

Females in uniform (cops or military).

At the risk of sounding sexist, we like 'em. (Hey, we dig pretty, confident, competent chicks that can wear lip gloss and still stomp the hell out of some assclown that needs a tune-up, so sue us.) Since we like 'em, we figured we'd share this poster. If you want the high rez version, e-mail us at BreachBangClear@gmail.com.

























Oh, and for those of you that haven't joined us on Facebook, please do. Facebook.com/madduo. Again, we'd like to talk tactics, politics, whatever, but not if you're way left, you fly your flag upside down, you don't put your hand over your heart during the national anthem, if you support Miranda rights for EPWs or honestly even if you're just a damn sissy. If you are any of those, then don't bother. Otherwise come on with it (especially, as I mentioned before, if you are a female in uniform and you want to engage in intelligent if occasionally hyperbolic discourse).

PS Females "on the job" as they say where we're from, have you seen this? http://soldiersystems.net/2010/07/28/ladies-choice-uniform-pants-for-female-le-officers/

Correcting poor flag etiquette...

We like this. We like this guy. We like the fact that he took the flags down. Now, it could be argued that he should have folded the Mexican flag up so as to not compound a wrong with a wrong...but that may be more open-minded than we are personally. Seriously? Flying a Mexican flag about the U.S. flag on a non-embassy location here in our country? That's bullshit. That's way past bullshit. Same as that asinine protest the Mexicans were waging after the Cinco de Mayo celebration, where they were complaining on national television because some of the students chose to wear shirts with American flags that day...said it was disrespectful. Disprespectful? Are you kidding us? Listen, if you want to come to this country then bring yourself. Come work and make a better life for yourself. Do it speaking English, though, and don't hyphenate your nationality. Please also feel free to fly the flag of your country of origin UNDERNEATH the one of your new home. Otherwise get the hell out, there are others just as deserving that will show some respect. How long do you suppose an American flag flown above a Mexican flag would last south of the border anyway? Assuming the Americans in question weren't murdered or kidnapped before the actually got it up on a flagpole in the first place.

Common sense is an uncommon virtue, and this border control/illegal immigration ridiculosity has gone beyond the pale. Somebody ought to give this guy a medal for helping those poor misguided souls correct their flag etiquette.

Rope Rescue Course Coming in October

We got an e-mail from a couple of the guys we work with on occasion to let us know about a course Oklahoma State University is running in NE Oklahoma. RPD (Rescue Programs Division, we think) is going to be running "Rope Rescue Operations" in all three levels (1, 2 and Technician) this October at Osage Hills State Park, which is between Bartlesville OK and Pawhuska OK. It's for emergency services personnel (LE, fire, EMS or military as best we can tell) and is worth 48 hours of continuing education credit through Oklahoma's CLEET (Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training, like California's POST or Texas' TCLEOSE). It's going to run October 31st through November 5th (pretty sure you won't need to wear a Halloween costume that first night, but we'll find out for sure). The class is $350 for in-state personnel, $500 for out of state personnel. Lodging will be provided there at the group camp for no additional cost (though you will want to bring an extra wooby or two, and some longjohns, cuz it gets cold there that time of year...it's like some freak meteorological area that is always ten to fifteen degrees colder than wherever we are NOT training). They're going to be covering anchor ID, knots, raising/lowering operations, highline operations, team evolutions and similar topics relating to current rope rescue TTPs (individual and team). This would be good for the individual, in our view, GREAT for a team. To enroll or for additional information, contact the OSU Fire Services folks at www.osufst.org or 800-304-5727. Deadline or enrollment is 16 OCT 10/1700L CST.

It's okay to be afraid of heights or to be apprehensive about learning a new skillset. It's not okay to be a SISSY about it! Hope to see you there.
