Indirect fire, the best way to fight a war.
ReplyDeleteOn the rare times in the rear I used to like to watch the 105 guys. Nothing like that training film. They damn near made them things semi automatic. They were fast and all business. I would know one going over my head even today. A sound you don't forget.
ReplyDeleteSnagged a couple of 105 casings when I worked at Ft. Knox back in the 70's. Used one of them to hide my bong. Somehow it survived all the moves and is in the garage.
ReplyDeleteI had too much fun with direct fire on my M110, and on a 109.
