    Terrible aftermath

    Very interesting article. I knew somewhat generally about this, but it was not as in depth as this article. I'll have to look for this book as well. Thanks.

    The legacy of General Westmoreland

    The problem with reaching upper levels in military is that it is not always the best and brightest, but the best brass polisher. And often one is going to move up because he agrees with the guy above him. One of the problems Westermoreland had, which certainly wasn't unique to him, was that...

    The legacy of General Westmoreland

    Read a "Bright Shining Lie" about John Paul Vann, a military advisor in Viet Nam. (There was a film done maybe 10 years ago. Don't bother to watch it, but the book is excellent.) He was colonel who became a 'civilian general' and died when his plane (helo? I don't recall now) was shot down...

    Barzso Battle of Lexington and Concord - first look at one of the figures

    I hope we don't get caught up in the small details of figures and uniforms or equipment and instead enjoy what people put out. This is supposed to be for fun, and quibbling over all the details can take the joy out of things. It doesn't matter all that much if a guy is shooting with his left...

    Britains Ltd New Plastic ranges

    Richard Walker was with Conte when they first went into business but they parted ways fairly early on. I'm thinking he may have been there about a year, give or take a month or two. I have never heard why they parted ways.

    A Dana Delany figure? I'd sell my mother to the Martians for a shot at Dana Delany.

    How do the Hat figures compare to Airfix 1/32?

    Conte has announced a Western range.

    If I recall, there was more blanket and less undergarment.

    Oreilly's book thrown out of Ford's theater because of mistakes.

    So...... my guess is the book about Lincoln killing vampires might not be availalbe at Ford's book store also? Seriously, it's a shame how history is taught in schools, and I don't mean politically. The history teacher in high school is more often than not the foot-ball coach or basketball...
