Ask him sometime about the 90MM Recoilless Rifle, that is even worse. Sucker weighs 35 lb, and I got stuck humping that thing for a year, I hated that fucker
Yeah, I don't know if it's survivor's guilt or what. I know that he was a Green Beret, that he jumped out of moving aircraft, and that in addition to the M60, he blew stuff up. I think he saw some bad, bad shit, and never completely recovered from it. I figure it's not my place to push it.
