I never actually got to fire off a WP grenade, but I decided I was only going to throw it inside someplace I was not, like inside an enemy gun tube or P.C. or tank.

That was my thought too.
If it melted that engine block, I didn't want it anywhere near me.

What? Did you have to take the escape pod to keep President Billy Jeff away from your intern?

Maybe I got blast radius confused with danger area. There were days in basic when I wasn't paying all that much attention.

Well, with something that burns and explodes, what is the difference?
*chuckle*
But I did find it odd that they called it a grenade, and it didn't explode the way one expected a grenade to explode.

Guarnere sounded like a pretty interesting character in the book.

Excellent thread SAM and snippy!!!
I trotted out a special tagline for it.
Sgts Joe Toye and Bill Guarnere each lost a leg at Bastogne and Lt Buck Compton had a nervous breakdown. (according to the HBO version)I got the complete miniseries on DVD for Christmas.

Those were the days - when we could go blow things up for fun. (Oops, I've probably just been picked up by NSA)

Yup, those were the days.

HI CT.
I thought Damian Lewis did an excellent job of portraying Lt. Winters.

Never used a WP grenade. The 4.2 mortar would fire them though.

I don't know if he's "officially" up for the MOH, there is a movement to get it for him though.
