I used to be a nurse in a small country hospital, about 75 or 80 beds. I probably got one or two WWII vets a month as patients. I always begged the charge to assign them to me. I love those dudes. I always felt like it was a treat for me to take care of them, and just to yack with them. That was always great.

My grandfather was a WW1 veteran, my father a WW2 veteran and I am a Vietnam veteran. When thinking about wars and military conflicts I have never understood why those veterans who served in Korea seem quite unrecognized . . . . maybe it’s just me.

You're right, it seems that way. Not in South Korea, they are the most appreciative people I've dealt with. They love what we did for them, and they'll show their gratitude and give you thanks for being there.

I had a sergeant in Houston PD years ago who was at Chosin. He wasn't a big dude, but you could just tell he wasn't somebody to be messed with.

It appears that whomever decided to fire 2 Neptune missiles at the Moskva had their lucky rabbit's foot with them. According to this article it should have taken 11 such missiles fired, with 5 hits to sink this ship.

Remember all the threads here about shot placement trumping caliber? This was one of those cases. Add in that the crew of the Moskva was complacent about the threat and had really shitty battle damage control and you have a sunk cruiser.

You can have the best equipment in the world and if you have poorly trained, led and motivated people manning it things are not going to go well.
