One Marine

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a
voice call from behind a sand-dune say, "One Marine is better than ten
Taliban."

The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune
whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then
silence.

The voice then calls out, "One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban
soldiers."

Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune
and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle,
again silence.

The Marine voice calls out, "One Marine is better than one thousand
Taliban."

The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them
over the dune. Cannon, rocket, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge
battle is fought..

Then silence. Finally one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the
dune and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men,
it's a trap. There are two of them."

God bless our military!

If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.

If we could only teach the Taliban to Fly Fish, they wouldn't have time to fight.
I believe that the solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be."

In this instance, I would hope the fly fishing community is a little more elitist...
I'll fish for anything I tell ya!!!

Darwinism seems to have become a politically protected sacred cow, and I've never seen a sacred cow I haven't wanted to roast - the fact that you are not supposed to criticize it is just too irresistible to me.
