   Ok military guys and gals who are ‘avid readers’ of Feral Jundi, now is your chance. If you want to win a portion of that $30,000 prize, then you would be foolish not to submit Feral Jundi as a mobile app for this contest. lol  Just kidding.  But hey, if this blog counts as […]

Weapons Stuff: The Marines To Use MK 318 MOD 0 Ammo In Afghanistan

   Cool beans.  It’s always interesting to see what new ammo the guys are using out there.  It sounds like this MK 318 round is just a military version of a similar hunting round called the Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, which is great.  I have never shot this round, so I really can’t comment on […]

   Wow.  What a catch, and I certainly hope they are able to get all the information they can out of this guy in order for us to get closer to Usama Bin Laden or Mullah Omar.  We can only hope, and this is some outstanding war news. -Matt

Iraq: U.S. Military Rushes Bomb Dogs To Iraq

     Now if we can actually get the Iraqis to play nicely with the puppies, we can really celebrate.  But somehow I have this vision of the dogs being neglected or ‘accidently’ dying or running away under the control of the Iraqis.  Maybe not, and I certainly hope they can man up and make […]

Afghanistan: Tribe To Fight Taliban In Return For Aid From U.S.

   This is good news, if in fact these guys want to oppose the Taliban.  Boy, a 400,000 strong tribe is impressive, and 1 million dollars in aid for their loyalty is a good deal in my book.  Now will they actually produce and truly run the Taliban out of town is the big question? […]

Military News: Marines’ Iraq Command Ends–Job Well Done!!!

   Well to make up for Avatar, or the lack of coverage by the media, I hope I can at least spread the good word here on FJ. Seven years of blood, guts and tears, fighting their way through the insurgent infested towns of western Iraq, and getting the job done with some authority.  That […]

Film: Cameron Says Avatar Not A Slam On Corps? Oh Really?

   Why is it that most of the characters in the movie, to include the main character, are former Marines?  You have laced the fabric of your movie with everything Marine, and then you put a PMC bow on top of it and say ‘oh, we aren’t slamming the Marines’. Oh really?
   Not to mention […]

Weapons Stuff: Bible Versus On Trijicon Scopes? Who Cares….

   I am ashamed at the reaction the military ‘PC police’ is having towards this.  So I guess the dollars that we spent on purchasing these scopes should have the ‘In God We Trust’ part removed as well? Also, get rid of all of those chaplains and the thousands of bibles that are handed out […]
