"Kerry isn't worthy of kissing the ass of our real heroes."

I agree, and I'm enthused to hear that some of his Navy buddies are going to be coming out with some worthwhile questions regarding his three Purple Hearts. How can one man get three injuries worthy of Purple Hearts and never miss a day of work?! And is any man who uses those Purple Hearts to cut a year-long stint to four months really a hero at all?!

We've got seven months to get the the bottom of that mystery...MUD

Is Abigail's room all ready?

Getting there. It will look like a flower garden when we're done.

Here's the beginning point.

After the "sky" has added.

The "Green Hills of Earth" have been added.

The above emplacement is a 2nd Infantry Division position during the Korean War. Note the covered trenches and ammo pits, the empty charge propellant canisters and lids on the left and the stack of canisters on the right. The crates are likely containers for fuzes.

Lt Cliff Powell, 4.2 mortar, Hvy Mortar, 14th, 10/52

81mm Mortar Position, Kumsong.Korea 1952

M4 traverses icy Donner Pass to relieve Freeman and the 23rd RCT at Chipyong-ni

February, 1951, Korea. M-16 half track. Four .50 caliber machine guns are mounted in a revolving turret.

The 23rd RCTs M-16 fired 10,000 rounds, one for every three chicoms coming at them.

"Attention! Attention! Comrades! We have not enough bullets for each of you to get his own! Please to line up in files of three for close order charge! Thanking you!"

February, 1951, Korea. M-19 full-track (dual 40). Dual 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns mounted in a revolving turret.

Vickers, 303in Mark 1 Water-Cooled Machine Gun.

M1919A4 .30 Caliber Air Cooled Machine Gun

Napalm mines and fougasse were first used in Korea in 1951. Napalm fougasse used metal tanks of 200-250 liters-filled with napalm mixtures and buried in the ground. Each tank was fitted with a white phosphorous hand grenade fitted with detonator cord or on occasion an 81 mm white phosphorous mortar bomb. A wire attached to the grenade detonator led from the tank across the ground. These tanks were set off by either pulling on the wire or by electric current sent over the wires by a detonator machine.

Here is a John Kerry for Glorious Leader poster in Pyongyang

Here is Jong Kerry with one of the foreign leaders who has endorsed his candidacy:

After Kerry is buried in a landslide in November, he will be outsourced as plant manager at the Pyongyang Heinz Bark Soup Factory.

Wow that's exciting!! Google. Woo Hoo Sam and snippy.

Thanks Phil, for a great post. Lots of info here.

If that's what they're showing, I wonder what they've got under wraps?
I read somewhere a while ago that the military technology was large and growing larger all the time.
(and that's a good thing!...no make that a VERY good thing!)

Re: the last picture,
I'm glad to see you have proper supervision. As this is the key to an operation such as this.

Great job Phil, thanks for finding this plane for us.

[snippy_about_it]

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

Excellent read. What a mind.

His personal exploits as the 23rd RCT commander during the battle of Chipyong-ni are an epic of organizational leadership worthy of detailed study by all officers who seek to command battalions and brigades.

Yup.

Goodnight!

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks Phil. A Donner Pass in Korea too! Thanks for the links and great pics and comments. ;-)

[SAMWolf]

I'd sure like to see those citations that came with the medals.

[SAMWolf]

I see your dog is already checking for trees on the "green Hills". ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

Hi w over w. Love the tagline and ain't it the truth. If you have a pick up everyone expects you to help them move.

Hey! We're famous now!! ;-) LOL! on the Sherman in the Donner Pass, I bet Snippy would have prefered driving one of those over her Explorer.

We used Fougasse on our perimeter. Quite impressive show when it was detonated.

Evening w_over_w.

I'm sure we'll be reading about commanders and men coming out of the Irag War in the future.

[snippy_about_it]

I bet Snippy would have prefered driving one of those over her Explorer.

Oh sure, like you would have let me drive if we had a tank. LOL.

[SAMWolf]

Sure you could drive, I'd be in the turret clearer the road for you. :-)

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Silly me, of course you'd be in control of the gun. ;-)
