    From the YT description: It's 1967 in Vietnam, and U.S. truck convoys are being ambushed by the enemy on a regular basis. To counter this, the men begin to modify their trucks, adding upgraded armor and serious firepower.

    To paraphrase Dix from "Off Limits"; we're Americans, we're never outgunned"-as the gunship rises from behind the buildings......

    I’ve never fired the Quad but I was a gunner on one of the four M2s that our MP company had.

    Made those “camping” trips to Grafenwoehr worthwhile!
