SOF is/was like the Anarchist Cookbook. Cool when you're 12 years old, but pretty fucking useless.
I am the object of criticism around the world. But I think that since I am being discussed, then I am on the right track.

It was this one. You do know there was a time when magazines weren't on the internet, right?

Not sure why, but when in high school in the early 80s it was considered highly uncool to read SOF.

That's because schoolchildren have an advanced sense of smell regarding bullshitters. Adulthood tends to dull the senses.

Around that time in my High School it was regarded as the sort of periodical that short haired, over-weight, vaguely right-wing dullards read.
The sort who weren't prepared to give what it took to actually join the Forces and would struggle with the minimum requirements to join the Police.

SoF was ace, even the later copies which were just all articles about the US Mil. I would always buy it in the PX, only magazine I'd buy regularly in there. Well, that and this :

I am really upset I never got to read King.

I feel as if I have missed something important.

When I was in High School I used to get this Magazine called "PIstolero". It had an article called "The Thinking Paranoid" and was a 1980s magazine that combined Prepping, Survivalism, Biker Gangs, Guns, and End Times Religion with some light Neo-Nazism.

Dig that: Freeze Dried Foods or Cannibalism.

Before the internet when you actually had to seek out crazy rather than wait for it to find you...that was much more fun.

You see? You see? This is proof that people who mix with liberals get brian tumers and turn from righteous conversatives into lazy libtards! This is the proof!
This magazine and SoF would still be around of Alf Gore and his tyrannical libtard internet agenda hadn't taken over America.
DickPaw, I am convinced that you'd be the omega male of Mantown, you golden shower taking, meat-gazing dandified bitch-boy.
