He was in the artillery. Not long after this pic was taken his entire unit was overrun by the Chinese and he and one other guy survived. According to that guy they used dead Chinese to hide.
Taken in Korea sometime in the Spring of 1952.
Good stuff. WWII was obviously terrible, but Korea brought its own brand of terrible, and only five years after VJ Day. It's crazy how fast the world changed in that time.Here is a pic of my grandaddy and his camp friend "Scout".

Chesty Puller's story arc at Guadalcanal intertwined with Douglas Munro, the only Coastie to win the MOH."Colonel Puller, sir. The enemy has us surrounded."
"That simplifies things. We can fire in all directions now."
To this day the USMC and USCG have a special bond forged under fire in the Pacific.Soon after arriving on Guadalcanal, Lt. Col. Puller led his battalion in a fierce action along the Matanikau, in which Puller's quick thinking saved three of his companies from annihilation. In the action, these companies were surrounded and cut off by a larger Japanese force. Puller ran to the shore, signaled a United States Navy destroyer, the USS Ballard, and then Puller directed the destroyer to provide fire support while landing craft rescued his Marines from their precarious position. U.S. Coast Guard Signalman First Class Douglas Albert Munro—Officer-in-Charge of the group of landing craft, was killed while providing covering fire from his landing craft for the Marines as they evacuated the beach and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for the action, to date the only Coast Guardsman to receive the decoration.
Dan Daley was a pacifist.What an utterly surprising take.
We learned about Munro in boot camp.
The U.S. Air Force's secret new fighter jet, which it designed, built, and tested in just one year, will feature some kind of artificial intelligence copilot—a trusted computer algorithm that human pilots can rely on to assume critical tasks in the air.
That's according to Will Roper, the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, who in September shocked the world when he revealed the surprise existence of the service's new, mysterious Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) fighter.
The Air Force has been incredibly tight-lipped about the sixth-generation fighter, only confirming it exists, and it’s flying ... somewhere. But a few clues about NGAD have trickled out since the initial announcement, such as which defense contractor likely built the plane. And now, Roper has revealed (via Breaking Defense) that the NGAD will have an "AI-assisted copilot, maybe even ARTUµ.”
I believe the legal definition is: "You're gay for looking".You jerk, you linked to a story with an auto-play Top Gun gif.
