I think that’s my cousin humping that tube. I’ll have to check with his uncle on what unit he is in right now, but if that isn’t him, it’s his doppelganger.
Jeez, they look just like we used to, when we were young and indestructable. Of course, we found out that we weren’t. Papa Ray West Texas USA
Loaded for bear? You must mean the mortar. And the biggest f*cking bear you ever saw.
GL: How about this bear?
MO, gd that’s funny. Well, if anyone could take that varmint down it would be a Marine unit. I dunno though…60mm might not even get through that thing’s fat layer.
At least the Corps is not trying to reintroduce the Howtar.
