Very coooool looking fighter, plus being very fast. Looking cool is half the battle!🤣

Informative article on a subject not often addressed, WWII Japanese weapon systems. Have a Japanese rifle and bayonet my uncle liberated on Guadalcanal during his visit with the USMC. Same type of bayonet as depicted in the cover photo.

Browning HP and the 1911 are my Faves'. If you are not familiar with SOG during the RVN war there are some great books by some SOG Green Berets. 'We Few' by Nick Brokhousen is a good start.

Great combat rifle, one of the best. I like it simple without all the gadgets and add-ons. The KISS method during high stress and extended away from base ops is always preferred. The iron sites on these puppies is dead on once the weapon is zeroed, also keeps the weapon slick and not having the...

I carried and still have a Randall model 14. Used it in Africa and the desert. Even used it once to help dig a deuce and half out of a muddy track in Africa. Sharpened right back up when finished! Even used it to chop down 4 to 5 inch trees once. Skinned deer with it also. Great knife but on...

-The Rangers had lost a gun Jeep and crew to an ambush just east of the airfield. That action was followed up by a squad of 82D troopers detailed to recover the Rangers bodies. A very good friend and team mate of mine was the squad leader. Jeff is no longer with us so I will give a...

Two of these puppies saved our bacon one day in a place called Dak To at the fire support base located there.

You are spot on about Dugout Doug. Un-revised history shows he was asleep at the wheel at very critical moments during the big one and Korea. Definitely asleep when Pearl took it also.

Major Harold Mors planned the operation but Skorzeny got the laurels. Most accounts of this raid give the impression it was all Skorzeny but the article puts a different and accurate light on the operation. I wonder how many times they rehearsed the op before they executed the mission.

Great story and written with just the right amount of humor.

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.
