Happy New Year! We're in the Roaring 20's again. Break out the bathtub gin and do The Charleston. :P They might not have had any rock music, but the 20's was a pretty wild decade, that's for sure. I always found it interesting, anyway.

I suppose you'll know for sure when the time is right to do so, if at all. You could try to play around with both some more, if possible, and do a final debate. It's actually a good idea to take time to figure things out like that, I think.

Society does seem to go through changes (?) shall we say? In or around the time of a war. There was a TV show on ABC from 1960-1962. I remember watching it when I was a kid in Miramar, Florida. It was ok. TV changed things a lot faster with Vietnam. We watched live coverage more, and more from the battlefields at the dinner hour. In previous conflicts, there was a time delay before people back home got the news from it.

Yeah, I don't have a big hurry on it, but I may move on it soon though. It's just my way once I like, or don't like something.

Vietnam was the first war to be televised, I suppose. My girlfriend remembers when she was really little (she was born in 1967) watching cartoons, and have them being interrupted by news reports from Vietnam, and being scared by seeing all of that. There's even actual combat footage from there on YouTube, that I've come across.

Of course, watching something on TV, or on the computer these days, is a hell of a lot different than actually living that crap, as I'm sure you'd know. At least watching it on TV, you can shut it off, or change the channel, and you might not get that luxury having to live that stuff, which is where PTSD kicks in. Unfortunately, I have a friend that went to Iraq and Afghanistan and is now really screwed up over that. He wasn't in Vietnam, but war is war, and the same crap happens, just the people and places change. :roll:

So, they have the amp there, ready to go, if you want it, or not?

The Mel Gibson movie, "We Were Soldiers", can get a bit intense at times. But I feel drawn to it, too watch it. The Hartke HD75 is how you say in America, TOAST!

Please refer too, Fender Rumble 100.

Have you ever seen the movie, "We Were Soldiers"? Pretty good film.

Yeah, I have a recording of it from when I had a free preview to those movie channels like HBO, Cinemax, Stars, or whatever one it was, and they played it on there, and it was uncut. I did also see it before that, but it might have been on regular TV, I'm not sure. It was a good movie, and pretty intense, especially when they dropped the napalm on them. That would have to be a really horrific way to die, I imagine.

That did happen. They went to prop planes for most of the napalm drops. The jets came in to faster when the napalm was dropped, and over shot the ground target zone sometimes. Ground markers couldn't always be set for the pilots to see friendlies, from Charlie. Things look different in the air, and that was back to the problems of F4 Phantoms coming in on their drop runs fast.

Did you ever get a close call with that stuff? I imagine that is the one bad thing about any air support, especially with everyone being in close proximity to each other. Bombs are going to go off wherever they land, and it doesn't matter who's standing nearby.

No, the couple of times we were hand to hand, it was even too close for Apache gunships to help. One time we had a puff the magic dragon clear an area for us.

I've read about that thing. It had all of the miniguns on it. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that.

The Westinghouse Electric gun I think it was. Those things didn't leave too much un hit areas.

Was it something like 6000 rounds per minute, or something like that?

It's something around there. I've seen one of those used once. Everything was over, almost before it started.

I can only imagine what that thing was like. I've seen videos of it, but nothing in real life. It must be loud as hell going off, isn't it?
