Good idea. I love to discuss military history. I met an old guy (not THE Oldguy) last week that fought in the Pacific. I was fortunate enough to hear his stories about the war for about an hour. Among the many stories was one about how he was issued a carbine but after the first time it took three shots to stop an attacker he threw it away and switched to the M1.
