Yep! Right off the top of the old noggin! When I die from smoking, drinking and chasing women too much, I plan on having an open skull service...

Yes, he knew more useless movie crap than any human I ever knew!

Anything with M-24 Chaffee's scooting around.
Bridge at Remagen is best,.....Battle of the Bulge is next.

A Bridge too far is also good if one likes armor.

Siege of Firebase Gloria is my fav war movie.
R Lee Ermey walking the perimmeter with heads of G.I.s who got zapped ,
V.C.commander comenting that his mortar platoon could not hit his grandmothers ass.

If I had a million or so dollars to burn,....would do Dewey Canyon II [Lam Son 719] from 1971.
Hundreds of U.S. helicopters and gunships got smacked as they flew into quadrant anti air batteries over Laos.
Charlie overrunning Firebases,.....downed aircrews from U.S. helo's and Jets making there way thru the Jungle while Charlie hunts them.
ARVN Mechanised divisions stopped near firebases ,....smoking cigs and looking at Playboy while buddies get the chop on the adjacent hill.

Alot of heroism and drama to be found in this operation.
