The man's very casual.. what's with the low quarter pantlegs?
Yeah, but I bet he could kill a man with a styrofoam cup!
Probably one of those guys that did the whole thing in Korea. From Inchon to Chosin, frozen feet and all. By the by, notice the leather sling?
No ammo in the ammobelt?????
What would he need ammo for? He's got a styrofoam cup! :madsmile::D
If this Marine was selected for Camp David duty there is no doubt he is capable of protecting the President with or without ammo, just hope this "cup" isn't an issue?:beerchug: when he gets off duty. :lol:
I wonder what his history was? As was pointed out he would be special select; IE silver star DSC MOH or who knows. And by the way, he probably has only one clip and it's in the M1. I've done my share of duty with only enough ammo to get things started...because that was the policy.
That is very good Gunsmith II!Quote:
