Thanks for the reply. The S/Major had the right weapon for close in fighting. I share his opinion of the M-16 which is coming under renewed criticism.

Here's hoping VaBthang4 never has to experience the S/Major's nice day. Maybe there wan't enough red dirt in the film for him. I could smell fear and the cordite. I cursed 2/Lt. HENRY HERRICK all over again for charging off into the bush. The look on the Sergeant’s face was classic.

Oi...what a putz.

You have no idea what I have experienced so save the noncombat condescension.
