Nope, no kidding. It just came to my head.

I just made that up! :lol:

Patton isnt overrated. Eisenhower and Montgomery are. The problem is that they were both too much of politicians rather than soldiers. Patton got the job done and if they had let Patton fully surround the Falaise Gap the war would've ended sooner in Europe sparing the lives of more than 1...

I agree too. He was a great military leader and a general by heart. But Patton will always be my hero and favorite military leader. Ive been doing some reasearch on him and have discovered many great things.

Im not a huge fan of the grease gun. The only reason it was made was to produce in larger numbers than the Thompson and make the cost a lot less. I do think though provided it was cheap and all it was a good smg especially for paratroopers and armored. Its rate of fire also made it easier to...

Haha. Your a real stand-up comedian...And I did read somewhere that the Canadians influenced us with the beret. And yeah, "LUCY, IM HOME!!" Are you kidding? The beret looks a hell of a lot better than a garrison cap. I wish our battalion would issue us berets.

Are you sure? I read somewhere that the Canadian Army had an influence with the beret on the US military. Aw well. My Cadet Battalion Commander who is in the Army Reserves is allowed to wear his beret during uniform inspection. To me the beret looks better with the Class A and B than with...

My vote goes to the Thompson. It was reliable, hard-hitting, and a good submachine gun for intense combat. The Thompson will always to me the sub-machine gun of choice for WWII. (And if I recall, the Thompson was even used by the British in numerous of campaigns like N. Africa.)

Thats amazing.

I do like that the Rangers, Special Forces, and Airborne have their own distinct berets anyway.

Now I see why the army doesent want it. Thanks. It is! I love it. Ive been a Cadet Sergeant for some time now and I am the 1st Squad leader, of 1st Platoon, Alpha Company.

He's got a point. It was the Canadian military who first introduced the Beret to us. Man, now I want a beret. All I have is a Garrison Cap...:(

I know Alder. Its just ive never seen the word "idjit" before. Its foreign...

Hey Redal! You were in the 3rd Infantry? Thats pretty cool.

By the looks of it, it doesent look like a good aircraft. (Looks almost like a toy.) But looks can be decieving!
