    I'm more partial to the Redux version with extra playboy bunny action and French plantation owners

    It was nothing like that on those patrol boats. That's what a vet who was on one told me anyway [8D]

    I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.

    It wasn't any ordinary PBR mission. I have an old buddy who was a gunner on a PBR in the brown water Navy. He's told me it was surprisingly realistic, but there was always more than one SF guy and usually more than one boat. His unit used to run LRRP's up the rivers. Used to say he didn't know a whole lot of the early SEALs, "...but those 'Lurp' dudes were really crazy!"



    LRRP Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols were guys that went way deep behind the lines (whatever they were in an unconventional war). Definitely some tough guys. [:)]
