Thank you! I'd best paint up some more…

Personal logo deadhead Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2019 10:36 a.m. PST

well if this is meant to be Andy Singleton, plus if he is still alive, I would like to thank him for his service, even if I do so as a national of a country that still makes a thing of being neutral, but even then presented condolences to the German govt in 1945 on the suicide of You know Who.


If he is not a Vietnam Vet, but instead the painter,…..OK nice work (actually the highlighting is superb)

FYI – The author that wrote "Blackhawk Down". Mark Bowden, just released a new book – "Hue 1968" is the title IIRC. He does good work.

Thanks for the info, BHD is indeed a very good book, that I've read twice or thrice.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP08 Jul 2019 9:08 a.m. PST

Apparently it's not new but from 2017.
However Michael Mann is making a mini series based on it. I have complete trust in Mann when it comes to something like this.

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP In the TMP Dawghouse09 Jul 2019 8:30 a.m. PST

I did not know it was released in 2017. old fart So it was new to me. evil grin

I hope to see the Mann mini-series though. Thanks for that intel !

Great modelling there ! And yes, she was very lucky.

Some Catholic Nuns in Hue were executed by the VC.

And even in the early stages of the war 2 US female missionaries were tied in a hut and burned to death.

One USAID female was poisoned when captured by the VC.

As well as one US civilian female doctor was captured by the VC and is still MIA, AFAIK.
