Greetings from the Great American Redoubt!

   Hello from North Idaho! Bit of a backstory here... I've been intrigued by WW2 and its militaria since I was just a little guy. I know there have been a lot of dark periods in man's history, but that of the Second World War seems most palpable-- perhaps because it occured only just a mere 80 years ago. It's so fascinating to me that one (mad)man was able to brainwash and manipulate his countrymen into committing such atrocities. It's incredible to think about "what might have been", and how different our world might look today had the Nazis succeeded in their quest for world domination.
Anyway, I've been a longtime lover of firearms and have owned more than I could ever possibly hope to recount, but just recently acquired my first WW2-era weapon: a 1944 Remington Rand. Shortly thereafter, on the 1911 Forum, someone mentioned Midway USA's upcoming sale of M1 Carbines. Long story short... within the course of about a week I've purchased two National Postal Meter carbines and a Garand from the CMP. These guns have totally got their claws in me; I'm hooked!

	He didn't have to brain-wash them. They wanted an answer. Germans were losing their children because they couldn't eat due to bankster's hyper-inflation. Globalist invaders from out of the country were buying up blocks of buildings and putting them out on the street. Debauched sexual perversion was rampant in the Wiemar Republic. Communists were violently attacking ethnic Germans in the streets in order to cause revolution. Doesn't sound so unfamiliar to the West today, eh? I love the Carbines, but WWII will prove to be the death nail for our culture. WWI was horrendous as how many of our culture were killed? Forty million?. WWII will mark the beginning of the end. If interested, read what Patton, Eisenhower and especially what Churchill wrote about these atrocities. Churchill wrote 5500 words in 6 volumes. Edited by tenOCEE - Jun 20 2021 at 2:32pm

	There's a theory that, "All wars are banker's wars." It makes sense to me. Done by Mike Rivero (he's part Jewish). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfEBupAeo4 Edited by tenOCEE - Jun 20 2021 at 2:33pm

	Sorry for my tardiness but...Welcome to the forum. I like shooting the carbine more but I do like the ping of my Garand. Good luck on your "addiction". We all have it.
