Very interesting, the Hetzer has always been one of my favorites in that it never seems to get any respect in diecast. I can fully understand...
jdbuk, I am the single most reactionary member of these forums ....
Underrated: Sherman-never quite lived down the weaknesses of the early versions Churchill- a bugger to...
I'm not a ".45 nut" myself, but during WW II nothing that I'm aware of could hold a candle to it, unless somewhere they used .45 revolvers (better...
The prison was run by Army Reservists (with a woman general in charge), not by USMC. I can't say, after dealing with these crazed nuts...
The Grant still looked better, as compared to the Lee. The Lee turret looked like a cardboard cake holder sitting atop the hull. Not that the...
Let's not forget how FDR would be blamed for the near-disaster at Omaha. Lack of good planning and all that. No, never-mind, FDR was always an...
I'm an NFL fan, but haven't cared about the Bears since their magical 1985 season. When that team broke up (it's a shame) and Ditka left, it...
That's too pretty to shoot down, or even at!
Never bring a knife to a gun fight. The kind of pistol can be debated, but the modern multi-shot pistol must surely win.
And speaking of the Escort Carriers, who can forget the Taffy Task Forces, covering the Leyte Landings, fighting so intensely that the Japanese...

A well-written article, definitely not the typical knee-jerk reactions the media usually likes to print. My guess is Lugar and some other...
Offense: Surround the area with snipers. Anybody carrying a weapon becomes a casualty. Use infantry, backed with tanks, helos, and jets, to...
The problem is a media that blows things out of proportion (assault weapons, SUVs, dangerous trucks, Alar on apples, etc.) followed by politicians...
If you research into the Federalist Papers and check the thoughts of most of the framers of the Constitution you'll find that they just didn't...
Looking at that video would make you think twice about wanting to be in a tank crew, or at least a T-72.
The mantlet is fully on the exterior, which means it should have had a 50mm gun and not a 37mm. I get the feeling the original gun may well have...
Manstein became the commander of the West German Army when it was reformed in the 50s. Quite a compliment from the Western Allies, considering...
