We used to have to make runs on a highway known as The Street With No Joy. We had an M134 minigun mounted on our jeep. It was capable of firing 6000 rounds a minute. no mistype, that is 100 rounds a second. They were normally on gunships known as Spooky or Puff The Magic Dragon. A gunship with 3 mini guns with tracers at night looked to the Vietnamese like fire breathing dragons, thus Puff The Magic Dragon.

We are seeing the clash of the now defunct Corporation of the United States and Constitutional America. I like the 4Commander in Chief5 on our side. Very likely, we now have 2 Presidents as the prophet Kim Clement prophesized many years ago. |

That is fantastic. thanks fiddling. I have seen videos of "warthogs" using their nose machine gun on enemy forces--such wonderful weapons-- "The A-10 is perhaps best known for its fearsome GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gatling gun mounted on the nose. The GAU-8 is designed to fire armor-piercing depleted uranium and high explosive incendiary rounds."

I spent a couple of months at DaNang before moving to Tan My. DaNang was known as Rocket City because they would often lob rockets at us from the hills at night. They would call on a Puff or 2 and I'd set there on guard duty and watch them work out. Saw it a bunch of times. The Puffs were actually relatively slow moving cargo planes before being converted to gun ships, so they could hold LOTS of ammo. The guns were all on one side and they did a slow circle turn so the guns were always facing the target. 3 of them at 100 rounds a second per gun. Lots of times charlie would disappear in tunnels or something, but I'd think about being on the receiving end of all that fire power.

So--how did we lose vietnam, afghanistan, iraq and any other skirmish the politicos put us in?
I know why---lawyers prevent indiscriminate use of weapons to prevent "civilian" casualties.
pathetic, but factual.

I know why---lawyers prevent indiscriminate use of weapons to prevent "civilian" casualties. pathetic, but factual. rr We had rules to obey. The Koreans for instance did not. DaNang was used by several countries and branches of military. If you used the base, you had a section of perimeter to defend. One night I was head of a Security Alert Team. We had a jeep with a M60 machine gun and our job was to constantly patrol our sector in case one of the bunkers or towers needed quick backup. They called us on the radio and told us there was a commotion of some type going on where the Korean marine sector met ours. The Koreans had caught a prostitute trying to sneak on base. They had taken a slap flare and set it off in her lady parts. They were loading her in an ambulance when we got there. Her screams were unhuman. I can still hear them. She was literally burning to death from the inside. The Vietnamese were scared of Koreans. They did not fear us. |
