1969 Apollo 10 (Stafford/Cernan/Young) launched toward lunar orbit 
Ground-level view at sunset of the Apollo 10 (Spacecraft 106/Lunar Module 4/Saturn 505) space vehicle at Pad B, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center. The Apollo 10 stack had just been positioned after being rolled out from the Vehicle Assemble Building (VAB) (34318); View of the Apollo 10 space vehicle (through palm trees and across water) on the way from the VAB to Pad B, Launch Complex 39. The Saturn V and its mobile launch tower are atop a crawler-transporter (34319).
The Apollo 10 spacecraft approaches touchdown in the South Pacific recovery area to conclude an eight-day lunar orbit mission. Splashdown occurred at 11:53 a.m., May 26, 1969, about 400 miles east of American Samoa. Note that in this photo the capsules parachutes are fully deployed.

Yeah, but who would you rather look at Thalia or Dobie? :-)You mean there's someone else, besides the girl, in the picture?

Many considered it too lightly armed and armored. Our current Pentagon brain trust would call that "transformational."
I hope everyone in the Foxhole has a pleasant Treadhead Tuesday.

Dobie Gillis was cool. He had his own bicyclespankentruppen corps.

Morning CT.
Our current Pentagon brain trust would call that "transformational."I noticed they already had to put extra protection on the Strykers, must just be "transformational".

Morning, Sam. I've never heard a treadhead tanker complain about a tank being overarmored or overgunned, but think tankers say that kinda stuff all the time. From what I've heard so far, the future combat vehicle will carry far less armor and will have a smaller gun than the M-1.

"I'd love to buy these guys a round of Guinness."
Don't know if Scots Highlanders would take Guiness over good whiskey! Maybe a few cases of Johnny Walker Black!!
Seriously, though, there are several modern successful bayonet attacks. I think the bayonet is a wonderful weapon (the modern ones are too short, though), helps the wielder have the right attitude, and the enemy is scared sh!tless. Like the Kukri for the Gurhkas.
