I do not know if the story is accurate but I do know from persoanl experience we were not allowed to keep a round in the chamber in Viet Nam.
As I mentioned on another thread, some regulations are stupid. I figured I would rather be punished for having a round in the chamber while on patrol then be dead. I always kept a round in the chamber.
I’m sure the guy in front of you appreciated that.
When and where you in Vietnam that you weren’t allowed to have a round in the chamber? Don’t try to tell me you were on patrol in that condition.
but I do know from persoanl experience we were not allowed to keep a round in the chamber in Viet Nam.
And you ignored it, I hope.
