I don't think they were hosed until the one guy broke his ride going over a bump and then got rear-ended by the other guy.

It looked like it might have been dug out to make that happen. The rear ending was more of a bonus.

Isn't that the film where he got his head lit on fire trying to stand an F-104 on its tail and walk away?

How did that get downplayed?

Some poo poo he did ;

Helped French resistance make bombs after he was shot down.
Shot down 5 planes in 1 flight, 2 of the kills from causing the planes to fly into each other.
Shot down an ME 262.
Broke the sound barrier with 2 broken ribs.

Also bullets go through car doors right? I thought the only good cover was the engine block.

Also I want someone to do that in a moving car and get their skull smashed in by the door.

Think about how easy it is to get your car damaged by someone hitting it at 5mph. Now think about a small bit of metal flying at supersonic speed hitting it. When they show bullets not killing people in cars on TV/movies, it's only because its hollywood.

e. watching it all the way I would have thought it would do more damage, but I guess TOW isn't ideal for anti-personnel?

They are made to penetrate tanks, so no. Purpose made anti-personel stuff is made to blow up and make fragments of whatever not bore a hole into armor.

Both sides of what? Seems like the absence of black dudes in SF is a thing? There were very rarely black nukes too. I think our class had 5 out of 300 people or so which was pretty light. That our crew had two black nukes was pretty atypical as far as I'm aware too

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with either recruitment rates from black majority urban areas or broader economic characteristics. I met way more people from the country side than major cities while I was in.

On my entire boat we had 7 black guys. a striker, an E-4 IC, a cook E-4 MS, 1 E-7 ICC, E-4 YM, E-7 YMC, and Lead ELT was an E-6. That is out of about 120-130 total crew.

Black guys just didn't go for subs I think. Too smart for that dumb bullshit.
