I think I was wrong, this guy looks better than the real Vinegar Joe!!

Although Joe was a fine man and a credit to the USA!!!

Look back, Iraq used them too. They had armor like you said but they put waves of people in front of them to protect them from the waves from Iran. It was a trench war where the Iraq tanks couldn't get through the obstructions in their path. They had to have these waves to clear a path and to protect the tanks.

Thanks. I recognize him now.

Negative perspiration.

Thanks for the Ping. My grandfather was John D Molett, Private, 3rd Battalion. Always a good read.

[SAMWolf]

I thank your grandfather, John, for his service.

Intelligence indicates 'high risk' of Iraqi chemical weapons use, Pentagon says

"I can still pull the lanyard with my right arm!"
Sounds like artillery alright.

"Battery 100" Gotta love it, wish I could've heard that one.
'Course my unit got told to do "Battery 12" and "Battery 24" missions.
And when they wanted us to clear a bunch of trees in the impact zone, they'd say, "Expend all ammo".

[SAMWolf]

Thanks for the link.

Evening Darksheare.

[Darksheare]

Evening.
Still wandering the halls here like a ghost.

[SAMWolf]

The "Ghost of Darksheare", sounds like a bad grade B movie.

The Poetry Branch is my Ffoxhole away from the Foxhole. :-)

Thanks, SamWolf. Excellent post. God bless those men.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks gitmo. God Bless them and those that are carrying on in their name.

[Darksheare]

Hmmm...
"The Haunting of FR's Foxhole"
"Ghosts of Marsbars"
"13 Darksheares"

Oh no, now I'm started on odd movie titles...

[gitmo]

Amen.

[SAMWolf]

I'm always amazed at how young and yet how old they look.
