You guys should read a series of books called six silent men. They are true stories...amazing true stories, from 'Nam.

If you find one of those "Silent Men" you can almost garantee the stories are true. Of course every customer at Wal-Mart over 60 tells me they stormed Omaha Beach with just a pocket knife and a dented mess kit.

RE: interview with a sniper

There is a phrase we used to identify certain individuals in the Army...silent professionals.

Six silent men is great, written by some lrrp's from the 101st. I first read about the ceremonial roll call in those books, didn't think I would ever participate in one back then...of course I was wrong about that unfortunately.
