Yep, this one would be sized just right for a feature length film.

It'll never happen though, not in today's PC America.

That film will only run in the Theater of the Mind.

Maybe there is another John Milieus around. I think “Foreign Enemies” would probably lend itself more to a movie.

I took the small cards of the first book and scanned them, then printed them at 8”X10” after resizing them in photoshop.

I used glossy paper and they looked professional so I took them to several local gun shops and explained the story and how pro gun the book was. They all said they would place them where they could be seen.

After a month or two, I visited all of them and couldn’t find any of them displayed. It sort of made me mad as it appeared that anything which didn’t help them sell guns was not going to be displayed.

The fact that I had been broke and had not bought any guns from them recently may have influenced them. Then again, maybe some customer wanted them and took it home with them.

Anyway I was hoping to get some sales for you but probably didn’t do much good.

Dadgum, I wrote out a long post and must have hit the
wrong button, will try and reconstruct it later.
Enjoyed the first 100. Wish I could type well
enough to try writing. Have you read any Fenimore
Cooper? Not Last of the Mohicans or deerslayer but
his sea stories? My favorites are The Crater and
Miles Wallingford. American seamen in the early
1800s. Great stories which display American individuality
and idealism, with enough plot twists and adventure
to keep you interested.

Keep up the great work.

America is not the only place where movies are made nowadays. Consider folms such as 9ya Rota or Long Tan

Director Tom Jeffrey comes immediately to mind, as does Velko Milosovich.
