re: #65 Decatur Deb
Yeah, but you got to cruise around on boats. I had to do math for two years.
I think that I had the best of both worlds - seeing good sized chunks of Europe and making things go boom with a 105mm rifle. Even the idjits on the autobahn only argue with a tank once. Then as a scout in the Guard we always had demolitions training annually. 40 kg cratering charges are, IYWPTE, a blast.
