Last night,, I watched, Going to War, a documentary on PBS. Lots of Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan footage and personal accounts. I encourage you guys to see it. Maybe on Utube?

I think I stumbled upon this while channel surfing. Looked interesting, but didn't want to invest 5-hours watching it.

I noticed this thread has 5X more posts and views than "The Things I Really Like" thread. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Conte had something like that.

You can lobby Andy for Seminole Indians again.

I'll have to revisit TRL. Saw it once and didn't like it. I thought it was too artsy and short on action. Sometimes I don't like something and then like it when I watch it again. Btw, Platoon is my favorite movie.

No doubt its only a few power hungry people that makes the masses suffer. I believe most people on both sides just want to live in peace. We'll see what unfolds when Israel conducts its ground incursion. Frankly, this scares me more than the situation in Ukraine. It took a war to get ZBlang...

For the most part mankind is terrible. Greedy. We'll never get along. Sometimes I just want to be hermit. I'm reading this book about Comanches in Texas & Oklahoma. Brutal. On another note, I see the USA carrier group as a deterrent to prevent other groups in joining Hamas. Other than that...

Steve, you've probably read a lot of books about soldiers carrying wounded on stretchers on jungle trails and constantly dropping them. Rockets would be heavier and harder. Yet having determination counts for a lot. My friend said they would find these rocket sites with the area totally burnt...

Happy B-day Dave! Being a tanker, how do you think our Bradleys, Abrams and Leopards are doing in Ukraine?

Hang tough Brom.

My Vietnam combat vet friend mentioned these rockets as really loud and scary. I don't how these rockets have accuracy with no guidance. Also how does the NVA transport the rockets and get them place? Looks really heavy to carry.

At least your kids will inherit some wonderful toys.

Thanks Carlos. Great pics. I also like how you took pics of the customers and vendors of the show.

My Vietnam combat vet said in addition to carrying your own combat load, everyone in the squad carried ammo for the M60 machine-gun.

I wanted all those toys offered on the back of comic books, but couldn't afford the $1.75. Maybe that's why I buy soldiers for $50 each today. lol.

Thanks Carlos. Always appreciate your coverage.

You should dig around. There could be more artifacts. I can not imagine someone dropping that weight in travel. There might be a settlement in your yard.

Thanks for the pics. I would buy a lot of stuff if I was at this show.
