I watched Full Metal Jacket last night for the um-teenth time.


One of the best Vietnam movies for sure.

I wasn't in it, so that counts me out too!


However i would have liked to have worked the range with an M-14,
though.

We used M-14s when I went through basic in 1967 (Ft Jackson, SC).
Great rifle, deadly accurate on man sized targets at 300 yards with
only iron sights, and very reliable.
