The unobservable are the widows, children, family members, fiances, girl friends and buddies who still grieve the lose of their soldiers of every branch of service. When we lost a buddy or a troop in the unit I accepted it as part of the deal, but I always grieved for those back home. The worse...

Like many posts I saw this sub and did the interior tour of the vessel as a kid. Even then I was amazed at how small the interior living quarters were, short 'hot' bunks and all. But it was outside when I saw it. I grew up in Chicago and would visit the Museum of Science and Industry often as...

HAHAHA! Stick to your guns! Resolve is a good thing.

Great article. My dad was a gunner on a B24 and I am sure if he was still on the planet he could tell me some more stories of his adventure. He did earn 4 Air Medals and I never knew that until he passed and I was going through his military records. RIP Warrior!

I think you are remembering an A1E Skyraider, the Spad. Look similar to the Jug. But I could be wrong. Maybe the French had them and some RVN pilots flew them when the US started in that theater.

RIP Honorable warrior.

Good read. Have read about this before and read an account from the German side. I guess the Allied forces believed they were relatively safe while eating mutton in the UK with little if any contact with the German forces. It got real, real fast for them, troops and leaders alike. Security for...

It is true, nobody needs to own an armory is what the clown stated.

Yep, Jimmy the Peanut was. a disaster as POTUS and we have had a few since they come close or surpass his incompetence.

Don't own too many guns but definitely own too many guitars! The guns I have I am intimately familiar with. Out of the large inventory of guitars I am intimately familiar with only three, the others just sit in their cases in storage. Those three and the guns are always within arms reach.

What ever you train with is good enough

500AGL or lower at 700 MPH. HA! took big nads to handle that.

I'm thinking this A/C is featured in the movie FAIL-SAFE. When I was a kid this was the model airplane to build that was the heat.

At one time people like Frank would never be allowed to roam free. I believe it was during the 80s that Congress, including President Reagan said it was cruel to keep people like Frank off the streets and in mental institutions. So the law that kept 'them' in was changed and 'they' let 'them'...

'The Citizens of London'. Excellent account of the major personalities living and working in London just prior to and during WWII till the wars end.

'I've been nursing along a batch of pasta sauce that seems to be perpetual, and it has only gotten better.' When I cook spaghetti sauce it is a two hour event. It is killer. I started making this sauce with the recipe that was in the Chicago Tribune newspaper when Joe Valachi...

Worked with a Kuwaiti armor unit for a few years. They had Yugoslav M84 MBTs and BMPs for the mech guys. It should be noted this purchase of the equipment came with Serb maintenance crews as part of the deal. The M84 is a T72, and it is a POS. The bimps also garbage death traps as the fuel cells...

Enjoyable read on a subject you don't see very often. I did see one of these A/C at the Pima Air Museum.

You are being sarcastic and it is appreciated if you are.

Been using them since the first issue we received. Retired now and still use them except now I have to buy them. Worth every penny.
