April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines.

Mickey Rooney excellently played a Navy helicopter pilot in the Bridges at Toko-Ri.

Superb flick and yes, he was great in his role. Got to get that on DVD.



Now, this flick? ehhhhh, I'll wait. The premise sounds a bit outlandish, to me.

Single Sherman, Firefly or not, roaming behind the lines?

Dead.

Armored Fighting Vehicles Preserved in the United States of America

This is V3.0 - there is a v3.1 by Keeper of the AFV Keys Neil Baumgartner.

List of US armored fighting vehicles and their locations (think: the tank in front of the VFW hall).

Great for when you travel.

If you'd like to see a really awesome WW2 video Google ‘’Tank Duel at The Cathedral, Cologne, Germany'' A Panther tank knocks out a Sherman and then is knocked out bt a newly deployed Pershing tank with a 90mm. gun.

Looks like a great movie, but I’ve lost some of the zeal for this genre that I used to have:

There’s no doubt that THEN we held a much more honorable value set than the enemy, there, so I used to be totally unconflicted about the violence I saw; we were better than them.

Now we monitor the commo of every single person in the country —we can even permanently store the commo of entire countries. Veterans put in a lifetime of sacrifice but are cheated out of basic care. We arm narcos to generate murder headlines cuz the Constitution is the enemy.

Yeah, it’s our leadership, not us.

But then there’s THAT also; a lot of our people follow their orders simply cuz they’re that —orders.

WHO does that sound like, eh…? See…?

The men who died at Normandy, did they die to safeguard THIS?

I’m pretty sure they didn’t.

I read Tigers in the Mud many years ago. Was surprised to learn that Otto Carius is still alive.

I think the Canadians got Wittman.
