THANKS. I enjoyed that movie—”Heartbreak Ridge.”

Though AK-47’s can be used to confuse the enemy, firing the weapon might also confuse nearby friendly troops and draw their fire.

A point that we both made brilliantly. Great minds think alike.

My former boss at Edwards AFB, was an Army Ranger Capt. We saw that movie when it first came out. His only comment was its amazing how the Marine’s single handedly took the island. No Rangers were involved.

He was a little bitter at the end of the movie, so I bought him a beer and he felt better!
