M-1 Carbine / SMG Discussion
Guys, I think some of us need to read the rules of THR, especially #4 and #6. Some remarks have been made that might be considered "flaming, trolling, and personal attacks" described in rule #4, and certainly not "polite" under #6. Please keep it friendly, and don't "kill the messenger". One such called me "obtuse" (dull witted, unintelligent, stupid). Lighten up! The fate of the world does not depend on this discussion! It's OK to disagree, but stick to the rules. Let's have fun sharing info.
This thread has made me remember certain events during WWII. One being my daddy helped build the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy Power Plant, while we were living in the little village of Fountain City, TN. In a small way, he may have built the biggest gun of all, the A-Bomb.
I also remember VE Day (5-8-45), and finally VJ Day (8-15-45). People were happy, and what I thought were firecrackers, was actually mostly people shooting guns in the air (in Knoxville, TN). They really knew how to celebrate the end of an extremely costly war. That was the end of WWII! But it was not guns, or even the A-Bomb that won the war. It was "Our Boys" !
