pzvg Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 Actually, troops didn't mind the "freighttrain" sound of heavy arty, since the shell preceded the sound by a second or so, if you could hear it, it wasn't heading for you. to quote my dad, (US army,'nam '63-'70) "It's not the bullet with my name on it I'm worried about, it's the one addressed 'To whom it may concern'" ------------------ Pzvg "Confucious say, it is better to remain silent, and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt" [This message has been edited by pzvg (edited 11-24-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
