The GCA Journal is preparing a great story after interviewing Dale Dye... he was the arms advisor for the series and actually played the part of Col. Sink. The draft is excellent!
I'm convinced the country and the planet will never see men of such caliber again. They were forged, hardened, and toughened by the Great Depression. They could do great things with little but their courage and toughness. It is a huge loss for humanity.
