How is someone able to sell copies of the Army training manual - just because? Doesn't the military track this information?

Because it’s a ca-ca rip off.

You can buy those manuals here (http://www.military-info.com/MPHOTO/Manuallist/Fmarmy.htm), or simply download them, here (http://www.specialoperations.com/Literature/manuals.html)

For the most part, they contain information in the public domain, and they’ve never been classified.

And why exactly would anyone listen to what an LT 35D has to say about...anything? LT X:rolleyes:. Is that 2LT X, 1LT X:confused:. Pretty funny, though, how someone is going to buy into, then buy, this.

I'd also be interested in finding out how LT X is a 'former' MI officer...as only an LT.:eek:. And they work for Group? WTF?

Well, I did think they guy did a good sales pitch. Still curious asto what it is ...

The links above work but the downloads don't. The list is very long - #274 & #276 might be the ones to do with self-defence. Can anyone view them?

Interestingly, many military manuals are available to the public.

In fact, many government documents of all kinds are reprinted and sold by for-profit companies because the government can't copyright them.

Check out the list of documents available from the Government Printing Office for some interesting reading.

I saved a "government manual" from my father's basement library.

THE FAMILY FALLOUT SHELTER
Department of Defense
Office of Civil Defense
June 1959

"Adequate shielding is the only effective means of preventing radiation casualties."

Yep, duck & cover!
:laugh:

One day I'm going to get around to build it, right after I replace the roof, landscape the yard, and install new fences.

Actually, the way things are going with both foreign and domestic terrorists ramping up, revisiting the old Civil Defense manuals isn't a bad idea.

The advise they contain is also useful in the event of storms, major power failures, etc.

A reliable 'friend' of mine tells me never to get into the stuff places like paladin has to offer on i.e.d's and such because half of the recipes they have there will just blow up in your face.

Buyer beware.:D ;)
