Shot a medium sized dog about three years ago which had somehow got over the "no climb" fence and killed our ram and wounded a ewe. Once I got in it realized it was cornered and turned to face me teeth bared. One shot from my M1911A1 solved the problem. The owner was down the road and had 14...
Early Bond movies did a real good job of dubbing certain characters. In Thunderball Largo was dubbed by Robert Rietty who also dubbed many other characters in Bond movies and other films. Domino was dubbed also because of Claudine Auger's thick French accent.
I've been a fan of Wild Geese...
There were no controversies as far as American armor goes in WWII. The Sherman has been dissected forwards and backwards and not found wanting even with the 75mm, which had one of the most effective HE rounds of the war. However, IMO there were two things which are controversial.
1. The HVAP...
My mental acuity has degraded also, perhaps not as bad as yours. I can still function in the classroom likely because of the teaching the same subjects though with slight differences from year to year.
Five years ago I likely caught it from a student whose father died from it. I almost followed suit. In the hospital for nine days and had respiratory failure and a heart attack. What's changed is although I am still active if I am working on chores around the property I don't necessarily...
In the Gulf War we had a few GPS but mainly used Loran with a small MGRS converter computer. You still need paper maps. Even today, you still need paper maps and a compass given many hostiles have GPS jammers.
Also the 100 hour ground war moniker was a political propaganda effort. It was a war from the start of Desert Shield in 1990 to the cease fire. Coalition service members in ground and aviation units were conducting recon, shaping ops early on. Lives were lost and outside of a few historians...
Gen. Joseph Hoar, USMC took over from Schwarzkopf, not Pagonis. Pagonis was Schwarzkopf's J-4 logistician who was hired by Sears where his "just in time logistics" concept failed miserably.
Hamms on tap was pretty good actually. My Dad sold that too. I had a fair amount of Hamms gear.
Btw, If you have ever driven by the Oly brewery note that they did have natural spring water running under an archway of the building itself. The problem was that water was "filtered" through the...
I was there when I was 9. It was a great time. The picture of the double Ferris Wheel brought back memories. It was the only amusement ride that scared the crap out of me. One time I went with my Grandma who could speak six languages so she was able to converse with several of the exhibitors...
2014 RAM Tradesman, 5.7 Hemi, 8 foot bed, 186,000 miles, manual windows and still going strong. It would be nice if Hi-Lux for a small pick up were legal here in the states. Just $10,000 new I think.
The only place I would order WWII gear is from At the Front. The gear is thoroughly researched and reproduced according to the original contract. They are true reproductions, not a replicas. Save yourself some grief by not ordering from overseas.
