Why not a mil vehicle enthusiast as a congregation member.

I have looked thru the AWM files and it could be this famous one parked near a famous surfing spot? Goes with that famous quote:

"You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like … victory."-

Post by: Carzee on March 29, 2013, 08:05:02 PM: Good lines weren't they.

I'm wondering why Kilgore is wearing a cravat type thing. Something to do with neckerchiefs and cowboys perhaps.
Its yellow...

Post by: aussiegregmac on March 29, 2013, 08:52:11 PM: The cravatt and the hat and badge are a throwback to the US Mounted Cavalry of the previous century.

Post by: aussiegregmac on March 29, 2013, 08:56:42 PM: Note also the yellow shield on the left shoulder of the 1st Cavalry Division (Fort Hood Texas)
I love trivia games.

Post by: Hot Rover on March 29, 2013, 09:02:59 PM: As above. Some choppers were used by cav units hence the hat and cravat. Do a Google search.
