World War II by J Malan Heslop : 105th Infantry
I remember when my outfit was practicing Airborne-Armor linkup at Ft Campbell we would ride on the tanks and when they started across fields at 20-25 mph it wasn't uncommon to lose some guys who were'nt paying attention and not hanging on real tight
Guy on the right has a german holster on his hip.
NEVER WALK when you can RIDE, NEVER RIDE when you can FLY.
That's the argument the recruiter used to convince me to go Airborne. I bought it and ended up flying. jumping out of the plane and _then_ walking.
