I agree, I've walked the ground several times and been an Infantry Platoon second in command for years...I don't believe if he had todays weapons with front line load, he'd have changed things. There was a human wave dedicated to his destruction. Even the women were involved...
I see only three men's kit there...you guys really did jump heavy Gil?
Well one thing is for sure, he wouldn't have been "worse off"!
Jim,
I think it was Fathers Day for these two:lol:, or they drew the short straw. 3 PARA always were greedy when it came to weapons.:rolleyes:
Better greedy then short handed I should think.Quote:

Ray,
Absolutely right, epecially if the whiteman had had his way. Can't understand why they didn't give them the Gatling Gun and be done with it, the gunrunners gave them the Winchester:madsmile:
I think you miss my point Ray.Quote:
