Huck? I do not know the history of that one.

[greensideout]

The Hucks were the rebels in the Philipines. That brought about the development of the 1911 pistol. The Brits used a larger grain 38 spl. that they called "the man stopper". As I was told by a Marine, the Hucks would wrap themselves in wire to bullet proof.
The idea of the 1911 was to have a round large enough to knock them down.

HardJedi,

What I take offence to is your snide remark that the 'Redcoats', which refers to the British Military, PRETENDING to be allies.

I know of no PRETEND funerals of British or for that matter any other allies fighting alongside American forces in any theatre of operations.

Your;

"My words cannot offend you. You can only CHOOSE to take offense"

are those of one who does not take responsibility for their actions.

NOT a thing a true Marine would even pretend to do.

Beyond Vietnam: Lessons Unlearned.

Try to get your hands on this film.
It addresses this subject and others concerning the Vietnam war (and all wars).
Some of you may have already seen it.
This guy was a combat engineer.
I first attended a lecture by him at a Vietnam Veterans convention in Virgina in 1993.

Beyond Vietnam: Lessons Unlearned
[54 min, Steve Bentley]

In a speech to a group of high school students, a Vietnam War veteran shares his experiences in country and the subsequent psychological effects involved. He discusses his own motives for joining the army, and the message he received as a child of “the good guys” vs. “the bad guys". On television, killing was not only justified but an act of heroism. The reality of war was very different for him.

Trained to suppress their emotions, soldiers wanted only to survive. “Psychological rape,” as he calls it, taught men to dehumanize the enemy in order to kill without thought or feeling. The horror of war, though, would be forever ingrained in the minds of these men. Featuring war footage, this film portrays war in all its ugliness and horror. From the voice of someone who experienced Vietnam firsthand, the American soldier stereotype of heroism and bravery is replaced with the truth of inhuman murder, chronic psychological damage, and lifelong consequences.
