As in your case the uncomfortable origin of the term leatherneck turned into a badge of honor. How's Chesty doing guarding those heavenly streets........
can you imagine what the nickname would have been if someone had noted the amount of perspiration build up in those collars?

just think about john wayne in "the flying sweatynecks"...  :lol

i heard rumor that Chesty was trying to organize a heavenly militia...not sure how far that has gotten though.

That's ok, if it were this easy, we wouldn't need lawyers to screw us on this rock, or rocket scientists to get us off this rock. More often I just see more connections relevant to the subject. I miss the PBS series "Connections".

So we got our modern hoe for gardening from a British lawyer and agriculturalist in the 1700's named "Jethro Tull". The modern pop band "Jethro Tull" often themed songs about old agrarian practices and myths. Song lyrics Gyrene need some kind of source or inspiration. Connections........nothing truly exists alone.

i can't find any source that says mr. tull achieved a degree in law. and i believe the greeks and romans used hoe's long before mr. tull "invented" them, unless you're talking about the horse drawn variety which is different.

Did you just use Chesty Puller's name in vain?  Seriously?  Chesty doesn't guard the heavenly streets Mr So-old-I-fart-dust because they dont need guarding.  Chesty guards God Almighty himself.  Carlos Hathcock has the Pearly Gates covered from 1500 meters with iron sites only,  Lt. Michael Murphy, PO2 Matt Axelson, and PO2 Danny Deitz recon the area between Heaven and Hell.

My flying started some time ago as a space pilot in the wireframe universe which was Elite on the BBC Model B, so AH looks brilliant to me.

You haven't ran into dr7, have ya? :lol  He's knocked out my KT with his KT, with both of us having our nose to each other.  He found the sweet spot before I did. :bhead

No I have not ran into him in TII. IIRC, I've only had one extended shooting battle in a TII, with Bruv in a TII and someone else shooting me. Bruv and the other killed my TII and then a friendly bombed him.

Now I'm going to have to up each of the three find a fixed point and refresh myself on the ballistics, will report back.

 Happy to see more tanks or in this case assault guns. The most produced German armored vehicle was assault guns and the Stug III was the most common. I personally would have rather saw the Stug III and Stug IV over the Jagdpanther but the Hetzer-38 is a good choice. However I will be using that new Jagdpanther as soon as it shows up. Great job HTC thanks.
