I wish you a good morning Damian. May I ask you a second time, when did you serve in Korea? Does the "85" in your name refer to the year of your birth or when you served there?
I keep a very cynical mind when using the Internet, but when I find a preponderance of websites describing extended ranges, then it must be considered in light of advances in propellants and BB/RAP technology, especially when using dumb munitions for bombardment of an area.
i served in korea from may 99 to may 00. i then pcs'd to germany after spending some well deserved time in australia. the 85 in my name came from being the 85th damian in hotmail. i've kept it since then and thats who i am on the internet. i was born in 79. as far as technology goes you have to remember there exists a difference between what is true and what the US government will admit. what would happen if everybody in the world could get ranges and firing data as easily on the internet as you have? also we have to admit to ourselves that our government isn't different from other governments of the world. if you go to panmujon right now you'll see and hear the propaganda that NK has been spilling out for years. they are so scared of th US war machine that they are trying to entice defectors to come across. whats to say they haven't embellished their reports of equipment inventory or technology? wouldn't you if there was a big dog on the other side of the fence? anyway! don't believe what you see on the internet because i'm telling you it's not true. guess you're just gonna have to trust me on this one. i wish i could tell you everything cause then it would all make since and there wouldn't be an argument but secrets are secret for a reason. oh! and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask. i don't know who i last responded to but i kinda snapped at him or her. for that i apologize. shouldn't mix my love of the artillery with typing.
