Mate. The soldiers then were WORKING MEN mostly, in a time when work was mainly done without power tools. BEFORE their military training, any of them could have taken the head right off a guy with a single swing of a piece of 4x2.

A real man. Didn't ask for it. But he sure did deal with it.

Crazy times again, as I sit and watch as Iran hits Israel. Thank the greatest terrorist, Obama sent billions to Iran. When? 2023, on the very anniversary of 3/11. He send many millions to Iran when he was president. Just when will we realize that we have the greatest traitor in US history now ruling his 3rd term? He should be in prison.

Actually history often has to be "rewritten" to be accurate. It was only about 10 years ago researchers discovered German soldiers were given meth amphetamine to use when tired. No wonder the German blitzkrieg went so astonishingly fast!

We slept there for the night but we were in danger again by morning.
