[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 642388, member: 25383"] It's kinda like Fords and Chevys with somebody else passing them by while they duke it out. In the Vietnam issue we hear all sorts of stories about this and that. The numbers I gave all of you are well known facts, and may well be slightly conservative. I saw both brands of rifles used by some folks over there, but stayed my distance from them most of the time as there were good reasons. The S.F. folks and others on up the food chain rolled thru several base camps I operated out of, and like I said they could have had most anything they wanted short of a nuke. I had a mint M1D that I removed from a guy that took pot shots at me everyday from 850 yards. Had the scope been zeroed in properly I certain I wouldn't be punching keys on this PC right now (let alone good ammo). I witnessed at least one 900+ yard shot with a N.M. M14 with peep sights. Yet in the killing fields; 100 yards is about it most all the time (I don't care what some guy in the Military Channel has to say). Hathcock was **** near killed at the fork in the road that goes from Baldy to Ross. Had he done the correct thing he'd have came out on unscathed (we all forget from time to time). I've often wondered if he was the real intended target, and not the Amtrac (command detonated dud round). That road was a bad one on a good day, and I hated to make a trip down it. But when we did I got out and walked a good part of it. But there were a lot worse places to step foot in or on. Kam Duc, Ashau, Hiep Duc Ridge A.O. in general, and last but probably the worst place on earth was the Pineapple Forest. All these garden spots with the exception of Kam Duc lead right into the Que Son Valley (some refer to it as death valley). A fairly tough AO on a good afternoon gary [/QUOTE]
