For a country so obsessed with firearms, a lot of US self-confessed gun enthusiasts are getting a lot of basic facts wrong
5.56mm bullets fired from AR-15/M-16- type rifles (or any rifle) do not โ€œtumbleโ€ in flight. If they didnโ€™t they wouldnโ€™t be accurate.
Many 5.56mm bullets have a tendency to tumble once theyโ€™ve hit a soft target, like a human body. But it takes several cm of material to do that, well more than an ear

I used to work for the USSS. I knew countersniper guys but worked in a different niche specialist role. A lot of the commentary right now ranges from unhelpful to actively harmful.
Contrary to popular legend, the USSS has finite resources. There will be a lot of probing, some of it necessary and some of it ridiculous or hopelessly biased.
Please donโ€™t call it โ€œthe SSโ€ or โ€œSS agentsโ€. If you must abbreviate, use the actual abbreviation USSS.

@davedisasterman @DrFrancisYoung Ok. My Lithuanian forebears have this moonshine/poteen stuff distilled from mead. Itโ€™s called ลฝalgiris. Itโ€™s 75% alcohol Image
@davedisasterman @DrFrancisYoung Iโ€™d spent 2 weeks on a White House/USSS advanced party, having used my pidgin Lithuanian and ancestry to ease no end of minor liaison frictions.
@davedisasterman @DrFrancisYoung Various police snipers, bomb squad guys, secret policemen, and the burnout who runs the impound lot for towed cars all declared that I was the glory of the emigration

Occasionally, when I'm doing research for my next book, I discover a villain or a hero. Today's hero is Doctor Balys Matulionis. Image
Dr. Matulionis was a physician in Lithuania, and spent 20 years in the Lithuanian army as a medical doctor. The Soviets put him in prison in 1940, and he got let out when they retreated in 1941. He did a lot to keep the Lithuanian medical sector functional under Nazi occupation.
Importantly, he managed to keep 30 Lithuanian doctors and 500 nursing staff from being sent to Russia to support the German army. He kept the TB hospital running despite shortages of everything. But his bravest act happened in 1944.

Historically, the Russian/Soviet state oppressed and killed allies with nearly as much vigor as it did enemies.
When the Soviets re-occupied the Baltic States in 1944-1945, they arrested the people who had been opposing the Nazis on the basis that such people are troublesome
The Estonian writer Jaan Kross was imprisoned by the Soviets for the crime of being arrested by the Nazis

Nazi Germany was the first nation to develop and mass production nerve agents as a weapon. However, as with anything to do with Hitler and Nazis, a bunch of ill-informed people have been pronouncing nonsense. Some of it out of ignorance, some from malice.

A thread
First problematic thing- the use of the phrase "Nerve gas". The nerve agents we are talking about are not gases. They are, in fact, liquids. Using the phrase "nerve gas" kind of marks you out as not knowing the basic concepts.
Nerve agents were not used in world war one. Some people seem to thing that the phrase "nerve agent" means the same thing as "chemical weapons". This is not correct. Nerve agents are a specific category of chemical warfare agent.
