just watched an episode of Sons of Guns from yesterday. They reconditioned an original WWII flamethrower owned by a WWII Marine Veteran, who just happened to be ONE of TWO MARINES to EARN the CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR from WWII. He earned it by singlehandedly taking out 7 Pillboxes with a flamethrower during a firefight in Iwo Jima.
At the end of the show, after Will tested the flamethrower and made sure it worked, this 89 y/o Marine strapped all 70lbs of that fucker to his back, and went to town on this makeshift bunker they made for a target.
Watching this man, who earned the CMOH, empliment the same weapon he used 65 years ago to earn that medal.....man, that was almost surreal. Hands down the most awesome thing I've seen on television in a very long time.
and fuck you if it's in the wrong forum.
