The1930sRust Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Great pic, also featured in Frank's Book. I wonder how many arm loads of Thompsons the Sgt moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Very nice pic, one I've never seen before. I hope he didn't drop any! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Please email it to me. Thanks, Walter P.S. I guess I'll have to check Frank's book again Rust. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimFromFL Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 What is he doing?!?!?!? Is he crazy?!?!?!? Trying to carry all those Thompsons like that and you can bet he is going to scratch one. He should be more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 LOL, Jim, That was my very first thought when I saw the photo a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 He's not actually carrying them. Note his right foot is up on the bench. He's holding them lovingly as he gazes upon them with awe, and yes, respect for the "intense and deadly firepower" they possess. Indeed, the godlike mastery imbued to those who will wield these weapons in battle is not lost on this mere soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
