John Joe Gray assaulted a police officer after he tried to arrest him for carrying a pistol without a license. John refused to show up in court and armed himself in his home. He told abc news“ If they come after us, bring extra body bags. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. He never left his 47 acres and had friends and family patrol the property line with rifles and pistols.

Charges were dropped in 2014.

When the Army rolls into Poland next month to take positions near the Russian border, however, the creature comforts will stay behind. No Whoppers. No foot-long Subway sandwiches. No Pizza Hut pies or caramel lattes at the Army’s version of Starbucks, Green Beans.

In 2010, when Gen. Stanley McChrystal was the top commander in Afghanistan, he ordered the closing of Burger King at bases in that country to put the military more on a war footing.

The ban lasted about a year. After Gen. McChrystal was forced to resign after his staff was quoted anonymously speaking derisively about the Obama administration, his replacement, Gen. David Petraeus, decided an Army moves on its stomach. He brought back Burger King.
