@@slslbbn4096 It's not the story. It's a story. simply put, in a capitalist society like the US, the companies that produce the tanks and planes get paid. They make a lot of money IF.....they produce products the armed branches are interested in. They can lose alot just trying. But someone has to make them. So, since everyone pitches in during such a war, the civilians contribute with money via increased taxes or whatever. They fund much of the war effort and those can fight, do. Just a different way of doing things as opposed to a dictatorship. So, while it seems there is plenty of corruption in most aspects of government, the principles upon which the government was originally founded are what everyone wants. Raise your hands if you prefer a dictatorship! see? no votes for 'tatership.

[@slslbbn4096]

@snailwithinternetaccess hahah communists who love stock dividend payouts? I doubt it. But the war in Afghanistsn was highly profitable for me and of course the companies I invested in. Imagine that, taxpayers send their husbands and sons to die in a faroff place so that their hard earned tax dollars can be payed out to multimillion dollar CEO bonuses at weapons companies (as well as astute shareholders like myself) Everybody wins!

Stein and his Stinger. Should be the title of a book or a movie. The way he fought along with the name of his weapon reminds me of the Japanese Giant Hornet; relentless, fearsome, tough and with a mighty stinger of its own that can cause immeasurable pain to those who dare experience it. I guess you could say that Stein and his Stinger were the American Hornet of Iwo Jima and a real buzzkill (horrible pun intended) on the Japanese.

[@launcesmechanist9578]

Literally the 'Frankengun' this weapon was a scavenged ANM2 .30 cal machinegun from the tail section of an SVD Dauntless Dive Bomber (US Navy), combined with the stock of the M1 Garand, an improvised firing mechanism (as the machinegun typically had the dual thumb trigger thus to be used with the Garand's pull trigger a special piece of equipment was needed), the carry handle and bipod of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and had a fire rate that rivaled the German MG42 but was only used in the Pacific Theatre. To the best of my knowledge, only one photo exists of the weapon. The weapon itself was destroyed or lost sometime around the war's end but I believe there were some copies made (about six) that were likewise used by US Marines and destroyed/dismantled at war's end. This weapon has been mentioned numerous times on shows like Lock 'n Load with R. Lee Ermy, Triggers: Weapons That Changed the World with Wil Willis, and was actually replicated on the TV series The Weapon Hunter hosted by Paul Shull and has even been made an obtainable weapon in Call of Duty: WWII (exclusively for the Zombies mode and Attack of the Undead DLC event apparently...)

Tony Stein (September 30, 1921 - March 1, 1945) was a United States Marine who posthumously received the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in World War II. He received the award for repeatedly making single-handed assaults against the enemy and for aiding wounded Marines during the initial assault on Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945. He was killed in action ten days later.
