Great pic, also featured in Frank's Book. I wonder how many arm loads of Thompsons the Sgt moved?

Very nice pic, one I've never seen before. I hope he didn't drop any! 
Please email it to me. Thanks, Walter
P.S. I guess I'll have to check Frank's book again Rust.

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.

LOL, Jim,
That was my very first thought when I saw the photo a while ago.

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.
