"The Washing of the Spears," standard text on the Zulu War, says that Lt. Bromhead was stone deaf ... that's why his company was sitting in the rear! If they'd had that in the movie, it would have looked like "Monty Python and the Zulus!"

OH, what a cutie! Is this your first girl? One of my college friends is having a girl next month; I'm looking forward to shopping for her, since my last two were boys.

LOL. She's so cute. We figured it would take awhile to grow into the clothes but we couldn't find any Foxhole gear any smaller. Can't wait to see her in her camo a few months from now. Or a year. Whatever it takes we'll be waiting. :-)

He's probably wandering around FR on other threads. We have a "help yourself" policy at the Foxhole.

AWWWWW! That Oregon bib looks just right on her. Based on the Hat size I guess the shorts can be used as a blanket right now.

My husband just mentioned that he met one of the Ploesti pilots when we were sightseeing in Guthrie, OK. They were having a WW2 reunion of some sort, and he visited with the guys while I was in the Territorial Museum with the older kids. (But in my teens, I sat at the kitchen table with one of the Dam Busters!)
If anyone is ever by there, lots to see in Guthrie!

Looking over my shoulder, it's squarely stacked in the 'side tunnel' behind me.

Well, check in that plastic lined howitzer ammo crate over there, there should be some ice in there, and drinkable expendable in there.

Watched Geronimo last night ...this is such a great movie...
The grandeur of the Southwest...
Ry Coders soundtrack...the U.S. Calvary on the march.
Reflecting..
Thought to myself..."Thats what those treacherous Jihadi/death cultists in Iraq need.....A U.S. Divison of Full Blooded Apache's comming down on them"...
Hamdi would just $...!
Robert Duvall..[Al Seibert] in the movie comments...
"You get into a fight with the Apache......you save the last bullet for yourself"
To: Tax-chick

Only saw "Geronimo" once, when it first came out. IMHO the Cavalry uniforms of that time were the best uniforms the U.S. Military ever had.
