Good Day

[Whispering Death]

I'm a 20 year old civilian college student. I've been interested in all manner of military history since almost before I could read and am excited at the oprotunity to soak of the knowledge from this forum. To all you servicemen past and present, you have my gratitude, you are better men than I.

Welcome Shawn.

You may be using your nickname in reference to today's usage as a sniper term, but the original usage was the name given by the Axis to the Beaufighter--one of the outstanding attack aircraft of WWII.

You can read more about it here...

Nice link Charge_7, that's completely new to me. But actually I was using it as a reference to the greatest tank man has every constructed, the M1A2 Abrams.
