The United States has around 433,000 in the combined active duty and reserve Navy.

But, according to these dudes, there are over 49 MILLION anglers in the United States.

With a number that vast, any country considering a naval assault against the United States better beware. An angler behind every reed.

The deer hunters alone in Minnesota on the first day of deer season is something like the 2nd or 3rd largest group of people under arms in the world.

Put all the deer hunters together and I think you have the second largest standing "army" behind only the Chinese.

Further, to put this in perspective: On ice fishing opener, Lake Mille Lacs is the third largest city in Minnesota.

Well, if an army can utilize foragers, than a navy can have Lootie.

Yeah, something about "Drunks in boats."  I can't remember the exact phrase.  



As for my part, I'll be defending the creeks and farm ponds of Flyover Land.  But I'm not carrying my rifle because that would be too much weight when you already have a cooler to wrassle.

If we put a couple 5 gallon buckets of tannerite on the front of each one, we could have the largest fleet of kamikaze bass boats in existence.

There is no such thing as Chinese chicken. It's definitely cat.

We could readapt FARC improvised landmines back to sea mines. The FARC uses improvised landmine detonators made from syringes filled with sulfuric acid. When pressed the acid is squirted onto some smokeless powder that becomes unstable and detonates setting off the main charge of AnFo in bottles or jars.

It isn't that different than WW2 contact sea mines except they used sulfuric acid in glass vials contained in lead projections that when hit by a ship deformed crushing the vials initiating a similar explosive train.
" />

Take one of these septic tanks, mount pipes in it that stick out and go down to a charge of smokeless powder in the center, and then on the outer ends screw on cast pure lead chambers holding acid in glass vials. Once filled with a cheap explosive that the smokeless charges sets off we'd have contact mines to stop the Best Korean invasion.

Beer was Heineken, not Natty Light.  Used a bulk carrying device, not his bare hands.  No USMC tats, t-shirt, bumper sticker.  Do I need to mention hair length?

I still say Coast Guard.
