OK, I get you. I expect that feeling is nearly universal around here.
I saw that video of Glenn Beck. One of the best responses to all this I've seen from any pundit and I've watched quite a few.
You worked for DOD and never heard of MACVSOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observation Group). You worked for DOD? When?
Why not look up the darn truth. It is big tech.
6 US Corporations own 90% of MSM.
Sickening, isn’t it??
Yes.
TACOM 2001 thru 2014. Sealy, Tx.
At BAE Systems’ facility. Helped
develope the FMTV and AMRAP.
I was joking with you on the
spelling out of acronyms.
Look up DAI INC. My BIL sold it for 6-8 million. He has a BSAE. MSAE and PHS ENG MGT. You are not in his LEAGUE.
you got banned punk.
PHD
We need to get out of krautland. We have been there since the 40’s. F Germany.
Never said I was. I did get an
award from a general, though.
Our guys were getting blown up
in the sandbox. We went from
concept to full production on
the AMRAP in 6 months.
Very interesting if true.
If true, whom do we hang?
MRAP? AMRAP? What u referring to? If you were in on riding down MSR’s you got troops killed. This Mech BS was why I left the Army. Punk 0-5 and 0-6’s in APC’s etc. Mech Infantry is BS. Helicopters would have saved many lives vs riding over IED’s.
Our Military is not like your Vietnam, Korea, or WWI and II was. I saw a photo of two fag officers getting married outside the main chapel at FT Bragg, NC. Our military was trashed by Clinton through Obama. That photo was a disgrace to God.
Please excuse me for mis-spelling
an acronym. Choppers had many
problems in Iraq, which is why
they weren’t deployed in greater
numbers. High maintenance (lots
of downtime), and dust obscured
landings made using them in Iraq,
difficult. Small arms fire and
RPG’s brought down 375. I will
agree with you that IED’s took
many lives, but improvements made
to military vehicles also saved
many lives.
We lost over 5,600 helicopters in Vietnam vs. your 375. We rarely had men blown up so bad they lost both legs and/ or arms. There was no reason to drive supplies by truck up and down roads nor by any so called armored vehicle. We used AF cargo planes plus even choppers on occasion. We damn sure did not ride up and down roads.

Big difference between Viet Nam
and Iraq, as far as operating
conditions. (Thanks for your
service by the way).
combat vehicles were confined to
established roads in Viet Nam.
Combat vehicles in Iraq didn’t need
established roads.
My son served three tours in Iraq.
(701st CSB and special attachment
combat support for the 94th).
Kind of an extra incentive there
to see that the vehicles we
designed, would aid in saving a
soldiers life.
