I remember the early days where Shek was telling war stories of his Stryker company kicking doors and using hooligan bars to pop them open. He then posted a photo like this.

I had to correct him on that it was called a Haligan bar, named for the FDNY guy who invented it. Firemen use it to gain entry into buildings. And then a bunch of asshats jumped in telling me how wrong I was!
Never mind that upon his retirement from the Boston Fire Department after 50 years my grandfather was given an engraved Haligan Tool from his buddies and it sat on the mantle in his house until after he died.
