I remember my Dad teaching me how to use one of these when I was 5. Ah the good ole P-38. Somewhere with my vintage mess gear, I have a few of these - new in-wrapper from the Vietnam era. And of course one I opened and used. Still works to this day. Somehow, it's still sharp! And hasn't rusted...

Holy crap...I hope that guy never tries to teach her marksmanship.

P-38 opener. Also called a “John Wayne”
Simple, small, folds flat; —- always works. I always carry one. Comes in handy quite often.

I remember those things. We got one in every rat pack during exercises. Didn't know it had a name other than "tin opener".

There is a slightly larger version called ... wait for it .....
a P-51
The designation came from the body length in millimeters. 38 and 51.
The endless parade of odd information you pickup during a career in the military.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I don't know about child abuse, but certainly a failure to mentor, which was becoming all too common even when I was a kid. but hell Crane.. maybe these little snot noses need a little hardship nowadays LOL

(if she was she would have told him to GF himself, and make some toast or cereal) Allowing a kid to be hungry, and struggle for 6 hours is brutal parenting. There are better ways to teach your children, especially if you love them.

that video is near 3.5 minutes. The can opener I use will open the can in 22 seconds like it's shown in the first 30 seconds of this video I didn't watch the video and I never timed myself, but you can go pretty fast with a P38. And like I said, you could keep it with you on a key chain and it was good for a lot more than opening cans.
SALUTE TO ALL!

Also, even if she got it open, unsupervised at a stove at nine? My nine year old son can use a stove just fine.

I used to cook family meals a few times a week, as did my older brother. Same here, Mon to Fri, when both parents were working as did my younger brothers.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
