Objective Burma.........1945

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I noticed some the other night in Good Morning Vietnam. They were on the shoulders of soldiers marching in formatation at Tan Son Nunt air base. Thinking had more of those avaliable in Thiland where it was filmed. Thought none would notice or is it plausable?

Good Morning Vietnam was sat in 1965, so it's very plausible to see carbines. I think they actually had too many M16's.

Good Morning Vietnam is on the posted list, 1987.

Carbines were around there at least through 1968. Had one on my boat.
