The pride of the Paratrooper comes not from knowing that he’s doing a job that others can’t, but that he’s doing a job that others simply won’t. Some Paratroopers haven’t seen a lot of combat. While that may sound ideal to the civilian or non-paratrooper soldier, it pains the Paratrooper. We signed up to spit in the face of danger. To walk the line between life and death and live to do it again – or not. To come to terms with our own mortality and let others try to take our life instead of yours. We have raised our hands and said, “Take me, America. I am willing to kill for you. I am willing to sacrifice my limbs for you. I will come back to America scarred and disfigured for you. I will be the first to die for you.”

comment: *entire career ...deployed on a moment's notice and never knowing if we'd ever return home, we thrive when surrounded, landing zones chosen behind enemy lines for a good reason, training frequently results in horrendous death, or costs of blood and bone*

I NEVER VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT MY WHOLE LIFE until Donald Trump was President. This election I already voted mail-in, straight Democrat, and received confirmation from election board they received my ballot. Obviously I am not even slightly afraid of MAGA MORONS! Their MOB MENTALITY and good-ole-boy network won't send an intelligent spokesman to challenge truth... being cowards, they gang up to intimidate others only via propaganda and Trumps agenda. MAGA is in no way, shape or form, Conservative Republican! It's a lawless Cult founded on misinformation and flat out lies. I'm so ashamed that so many Americans are literally Stupid enough to have joined a propaganda Cult led by a CONVICT of many felonies who's been indited on many more felonies and will probably spend the rest of his life in prison, unless he becomes POTUS and Pardons himself! TRUMP is the greatest threat to US Constitution in my life, which I swore an oath to defend!

began intensive training in '76, 7 days a week... ...transferred to Bujinkan '86... ...no one but Soke has promoted me since '92... ...1st Godan made at Atl Taikai '96 after teaching thousands in my Shugendo Shibu 7 days a week at Fort Bragg. Several times soldiers returned from deployments to say what I'd taught saved their lives in mortal combat. Front lines for 36 years in F&P and Army Airborne Infantry Tng NCO (WWII Occupational Forces behind Iron curtain) and awarded CID Spc Agent (1 of 2 in region on Jump Status). In all that time arresting the worst of society who tried to harm me, no one Ever got a strike in on me! Having taught combat MA for decades, Jan 6th changed that as I could be training future Alt Right Insurrectionist / Terrorist.

news caster says to stop allowing people to legally carry guns: how would that stop a child from stealing an AR and shooting classmates?... from criminals carrying guns? and, without lots of good people carrying EDC guns, who's going to immediately stop an active shooter,... police arrive after most damage is done, mop up, EMS, make reports, PIO, notifications & coordination, security, forensics, ...reiterate: most of those wounded happened to get wounded Before the first COP enters the building of the active shooter!... there's way too many guns in homes now, stopping sales won't stop a committed attacker from obtaining one, but it would reduce the number of prudent legal EDC therefore reducing the potential to stop an active shooter!

Bud, Stephan, Brin, & Jack told us Kihon Happo is just the basic moves and the number 8 was like Americans say 1001, and that there wasn't a specific 8 waza... Ralph taught me that Kihon Happo were the first 8 kata Shoden, Gyokko Ryu. Hatsumi said over and over: "Taijutsu begins and ends with Kihon Happo"... Therefore, Taijutsu is based on Gyokko Ryu.

PLEASE HUMOR ME AND HEAR FROM ME "Listen, I shall say this only once": The only way to stop mass shootings is 1] for there to be a greater number of guns in that place of violence that are pointing at the active shooter, than there are pointing at innocent victims... 2] The "Protectors" should have and maintain better training especially in weapons, civil liabilities, and shooter psychology ... a- The "Protectors" being a new kind of Reserve Law Enforcement branch (Meter-Maid/Parking Enforcement/Process Server/Security Guard/Park Ranger/Evidence/Jail/Bailiffs are other examples most jurisdictions already have those) after training at local LE Academy, may be authorized to carry and use a firearm they qualified with wherever not permitted to general public such as in schools/malls/stadiums/concerts/church?... b- everyday people / veterans / teachers go on with their lives until needed to "Protect"!
