What is the mark or logo on the back of the shirts of the two Marines pulling the POW out of his hole?
I reckon he is lucky to be coming out of that spider hole alive........

Also looks to be an "M" in the half circle. Imagine if this scenario were on the other foot. An American Marine would not have fared as well.
Perhaps "Mike" coy of whatever... The conjecture here of where the muzzles are pointing during combat is always silly. People applying range rules. If it's on safe I'm fine with it. Been there, done that.Quote:

A scene in SPR always struck me as odd when they're walking and pvt Opum (SP) is demonstrating horrible muzzle control and the medic comments as such. That just didn't fit in and I rather doubt it would have been a big deal back then.
That one's always been a thorn when I watch that movie.
I hated the guy.
Me too!!!
At camp Perry if one of our group is lagging behind a hearty Upham hussle up!
will get the job done
Exactly. That is my point. As I stated before when muzzle awareness has been discussed in the past, those blokes were handling the same weapons 24/7 for months gone into years and the weapons had become simply a part of them as much as their hand was.Quote:
