Homestead (film)

[JohnyMac]

I am almost finished Black Autumn written by Jeff Kirkham & Jason Ross. I started it soon after it came and then I put it down not interested. Not interested because the authors willingly have presented bad information about amateur radio. Every time I read ham radio disinformation in the book, I would just put the book down.

With Kirkham, being a retired Green Beret (29-year veteran) I just do not get it. After all, the roll of the 18E, Communications Sergeant, is probably one of the most crucial parts of any SFOD-A detachment.

Since, Kirkham was a SF guy, he would have cross trained with all members of the detachment. He should know the differences between UHF, VHF, HF and the use of the equipment.

I have about 15-pages to go BUT, just had to express my 2 cents worth.

I will do a sperate review on Black Autumn later.

Late review. Saw the movie in theatres. Really too wholesome for my tastes. The tv show Jerecho was a grittier take and seemed more realistic

Yeah, I liked the Jericho TV series. Haven't seen the movie Homestead yet and will probably wait till it streams on TV.

MrsMac isn't getting around well and the ice & snow is making it a bit more of a challenge.

The book and the movie bring home the time line of events post a SHITF scenario. It might make sense to reread Selco's account from Bosnia. I think D_F put the link up the other day. Here it is again of I am wrong.

I suspect in urban areas things would breakdown quicker than rural. I also suspect that suburbia will act like leftist/HOA area's on steroids with ones neighbors demanding everyone share what they gotz.

Rural area's will be the last to come apart. The drama there will be caused probably by the resident junkies at first then the influx of displaced folks from the cities.

Anyway, interesting to speculate on.

Hey, it might be sooner than later too with the left moaning & groaning about the D.O.G.E. cut backs and the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Stay tuned,
