RE: Slow period for list
The
BAR magazines were a pound apiece, but I don't remember how heavy the BAR was. I
only remember they used to give it to the shortest guy in the
squad.

hi Ed: don't mean to offend ya but,what
happened to good ole " Merry Christmas" as
we used to say some time
back? Now it is "Happy Holidays." What happened? I
ain't too sharp ( never
was,even when I was a young upstart ) but I smell a rat !
Somebody
who is for "diversity" and all that garbage is getting their way ! I don't
like
it! By the way,somebody said in this List some time ago that as
we got older we
could not do what we could do in the early
fifties. Like the typical jerk I am, I disa
greed! But I found out,the hard
way that even lifting a 40 pound bag of yard trash
is hard work. By
the way,not important,but how heavy was a B .A.R and a mortar
back
then? Oh yeh,while I am at it, I remember 30 caliber WATER COOLED
machi
ne guns were used during training. But, were they used in combat
?
I promise I won't ask any more dumb questions or comments! Chico
