by Scott Ambler, Thursday, May 22, 2014, 13:38 (3830 days ago)

M49-0 built between 1966-1969. Was a blue gun that has been hard chromed. Gun locks up very tight and shoots quite well, nice trigger. A touch of pitting on the thumb piece that was not polished out before plating. Uncle Mike's Boot Grips. Sales to gun friendly states. USPS Money Order for payment. $430 shipped. If your going to be in New Mexico in a couple weeks I can do a little better. Thanks sra454@gmail

The story is the VC had killed a member of the General's family. I'm partial to the M-38 airweight version. Also an 60's era North Texas Gambler/Thug B.A. named Finnis Blankenship was partial to them, an old time POleece officer once told me.

Funny thing about that picture

by cubrock, Friday, May 23, 2014, 10:56 (3829 days ago) @ Rob Leahy

is so many people assume it is an innocent civilian being executed and use it to springboard their talk of the evils of the Vietnam War. A little big of ignorance is a dangerous thing.

Absolutely - the truth puts a way different light on it

Poignant that the Photog that had bragged about "killing"

Gen. Nguyễn Loan later said: Adams later apologized in person to General Nguyễn and his family for the damage it did to his reputation. When Loan died of cancer in Virginia, Adams praised him: "The guy was a hero. America should be crying. I just hate to see him go this way, without people knowing anything about him.

Military history vs the news at 9...........

by Byron, Saturday, May 24, 2014, 16:46 (3827 days ago) @ MR

The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a massive military victory for those fighting the communist's.

Around 500 American troops died while upwards of 200,000 Cong and NVA were killed and the ability of the North to wage war was destroyed. The war was won in the spring of 1968.

After Tet Walter Cronkite spun a story that the war was unwinnable and the American population bought it and the rest is history.
