house to houseOne of the goal of VAF is insure that the reality of combat, war, and understanding the current enemy is accepted within the academic environment. Departments such as political science and humanities, must include the facts and truths of the world that our armed forces are facing.

The video below of Silver Star winner SSgt. Bellavia is critical in understanding the warfare faced in Iraq and exactly who the enemy is and how he fights.

  • Proof positive that .223 is not a battle round…Go back to .308's and .45's, n-o-w!

    • You are absolutely right. I was in Force Recon, we kept the .45, and a friend of mine Recon from Vietnam gave up the .45 and went to the .357 mag because even the .45 generally requires two rounds to put someone down. However, for the average troop the .45 auto is outstanding, it killed a lot of Nazi's and commies, and it will kill terrorists just as well.

      Part of the reason for VAF is apply pressure to the not only academia and it prejudices against veterans, but also to apply pressure to the military who will risk the lives of it soldiers for political reasons.

        I was a Navy Corpsman(E-5) when the change over between 45. & 9mm. I was non-plus. I did like the accuracy of the 9 but, specially on multi shot engagements. Something abt the Colt, that was nice. Maybe the familiarity of the weapon. Like a Bic ligter. It just feels right. I digress, I nipped a guy durin DS/DS. G+1 He went down w/ GSW RT Tib/Fib Open. On the hold it was a shitty day, but I made it thru, again. I was 30 yrs old, and that was 19 yrs ago. You gotta luv life, beats the hell out of the alternative.

  • The .45 is real weapon for combat, the 9mm is good for cops but not for combat troops. Glad you made it Doc.
