                <![CDATA[The &quot;silly hat&quot; is French, an &quot;Adrian&quot; helmet, actually.&nbsp; The chains hanging from the rim were an experiment in eye protection.&nbsp; The chains were to protect the exposed face from shell fragments.&nbsp; Didn't work, so they were discarded.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
The Adrian helmet remained on-duty until a bunch of German tourists showed up in France in 1940.<br />
<br />
Cool pictures.&nbsp; I'll steal them for my History classes.]]>

                <![CDATA[John...I was not in the Military...I was in the Air Force. 2nd Air Force HQ Barksdale had its own golf course, tennis courts, and Olympic size pool. How Military is that? As enlisted in Japan, I had my own house boy who shined my shoes and made my bed.<br />
<br />
I did spend a little over a WEEK in Da Nang scared to death...so you spelled it wrong. I wore mostly civvies though cause my fly away bag didn't have many uniforms. It was a good place to learn how not to fight a war.]]>

And there were several minor set-tos around the Seven Hills before the Punic Wars broke out, but they were over almost before they started -- nobody could remember their MOS numbers -- I was a MMMCMLXXXVII Delta...<br />]]>

                I see Fishmugger&apos;s grasp of the history of the American Military is... well, um, er, how to put this politely, ah, weak.
