[QUOTE="trbii, post: 4008022, member: 2449"] Heckuva story, RIP Jimmie Howard. In 1966 I was eight years old, so unaware of all U.S. military involvement. Started reading, learning about it in the late 1970s’. Can’t imagine what the fight on that hill was like. Even with good defensive positions, which it didn’t seem like the Marines had, how did any of them survive. Eight rounds of ammo left, by the time their relief arrived? How fast could a rifleman squirt away twenty round mags of 5.56MM on full auto? The Marines’ fire discipline must have been outstanding. Awe inspiring. Thanks for the post Snapshot. [/QUOTE]
