#7 71st anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima on August 6th. The bombing of Nagasaki occurred three days later. On August 15the, Japan surrendered. The bombing saved many allied lives and prevented the need for the invasion of Japan. Despite the criticisms of the bombings still today, it is estimated that the bombings saved millions of lives.

#8 August 6, 1950
Perimeter around Pusan continues to solidify. Intense fighting at the Naktong Bulge.
Situation very much in doubt, but improving.
Ghastly heat, lack of water causing as many casualties as combat.
Finally getting 3.5" rockets in numbers.
DA Battle Casualties 13-31 July: 1265 KIA, 2345 WIA, 971 MIA, 173 captured.

I have had the opportunity to fire a M1 Carbine - interesting rifle.

#10 It was a while back, but remembering as I go through a book about The Korean ~~it was an effn war~~ Police Action.

Smooth, recoil like an AR15, happy with the accuracy of something I had never shot. However, had feeding issues like Rosie Odonnel...dunno if it was the firearm, ammo, magazine, or just how that platform normally is.

#11 My dad said that his had feed issues sometimes swksvolFF, usually during an 'inopportune moment'.

He said it depended on how the metal ammo clips were filled. If you loaded it incorrectly or there was some crud in the clip, the cartridge wouldn't always 'advance'.

A few beach landings, a winter in the Alps and a sloppy summer in eastern France probably didn't help either.
