| 2025-03-19 |
| By Capt. Dale Dye, USMC (Ret) "That’s bovine excrement!" He was British and very polite. He was also wrong. "Nope. Turns out during the war some G.I.s actually did use 60 millimeter mortar rounds as field expedient grenades." The assistant armorer on Saving Private Ryan just squinted at me and shook his head. "And that’s why," I continued, "We are gonna need about a dozen dummy 60 mike-mike rounds scattered around this part of the set." |
