Saw trailer, read reviews, gonna pass.

First off, Texas and California vs the rest of the US.

“Apolitical” with a Trump like President in the White House.

They’re trying to get from NYC to DC.

The Director is a Brit.

Steely-eyed female reporter is the hero.

I got no use for this movie.

He's not fit to patrol an ant farm. What an a s s h o l e.

I've never been a fan of the 284 case. I don't like the related rim and it's too long to work well in a short action with high bc bullets.

I have a 3" mag box on my 7-08 fieldcraft and it's great feeding and has enough mag box for me to run 180 eldms at 2550 fps with 1/2 moa accuracy from its 18.5" barrel. They just fit and feed well. Not too fat to get 5 rounds in and you never miss hitting the rim to pick up another round.

As much as I like it I'm still looking at the Creedmoor case thinking it could do the same thing better.

For a short action it's 7-08, for a standard long action like ruger or mauser it's 7x57, and for a rem 3.6" length long action its 280 rem for me. All with 7 twist barrels please. Although I'm currently using 280 AI when I build again I'm going to go plain 280. I had a 700 KS stainless in 280 and it was as close to perfect for me as I've had. I should have kept it and rebarreled it in a dup contour 8 twist at 22".

For 7 mags my favorite is still the 7 wsm but I'm really liking my 7 prc and have high hopes for my latest element in 28 nosler. It'll break 3000 fps with 180s from its 22" tube with moderate loads that cycle easy and are easy on brass. I've typically been one to always run things just a hair under max but brass life is good on moderate loads. I still run enough pressure for a clean consistent load.

Yes, advertising works on me. While I seldom watch commercial television, when I do, I try to be very "DEI" aware. Specifically "I" - Inclusion. I make mental notes to NOT BUY anything represented in a commercial that does not include a straight white male in a non-subservient role... "Inclusion" cuts both ways...

Feeds perfect from standard long action plastic mags. Just ask those that have actually done it.

Chichijima incident

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chichijima incident (also known as the Ogasawara incident) occurred in late 1944. Japanese soldiers killed eight American airmen on Chichi Jima, in the Bonin Islands, and cannibalized five of them.

Incident
Nine American pilots escaped from their planes after being shot down during bombing raids on Chichijima, a tiny island 700 miles (1,100 km) south of Tokyo, in September 1944. Eight of the airmen, Lloyd Woellhof, Grady York, James "Jimmy" Dye, Glenn Frazier Jr., Marvell "Marve" Mershon, Floyd Hall, Warren Earl Vaughn, and Warren Hindenlang were captured and eventually executed. The ninth, and only one to evade capture, was future U.S. President George H. W. Bush, also a 20-year-old pilot.[1]

After the war, it was discovered that the captured airmen had been beaten and tortured before being executed. The airmen were beheaded on the orders of Lt Gen. Yoshio Tachibana.[2] Japanese officers then ate parts of the bodies of four of the men.[3][4]

Trials
Tachibana, alongside 11 other Japanese personnel, were tried in August 1946 in relation to the execution of U.S. Navy airmen, and the cannibalism of at least one of them, during August 1944. Because military and international law did not specifically deal with cannibalism, they were tried for murder and "prevention of honorable burial".[5]: 86 

This case was investigated in 1947 in a war crimes trial, and of the 30 Japanese soldiers prosecuted, four officers (including Lieutenant General Tachibana,[5][6] Major Matoba, and Captain Yoshii) were found guilty and hanged. All enlisted men and Probationary Medical Officer Tadashi Teraki were released within eight years.[6]

Vice Admiral Mori Kunizo, who commanded Chichi-Jima air base at the time of the incident, was of the belief that consumption of human liver had medical benefits. He was initially sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in the incident. However, after his subordinates were convicted of slaughtering prisoners during their time on the Southern Front, he was sentenced to death and subsequently hanged in a separate trial organized by the Netherlands for war crimes committed in the Dutch East Indies.[7]

Book
Main article: Flyboys: A True Story of Courage
In the best-selling book Flyboys: A True Story of Courage, American author James Bradley details several instances of cannibalism of World War II Allied prisoners by their Japanese captors.[8] Bradley claims that this included not only ritual cannibalization of the livers of freshly killed prisoners, but also the cannibalization-for-sustenance of living prisoners over the course of several days, amputating limbs only as needed to keep the meat fresh.[9]
