This should be the list-members queue to warm up those "But it's illegal
to use an M2HB on a person...it's in the Magna Carta or something." messages.

In this case there was a Mk 19 Nuclear artillery shell with
a yield of about 15 kt. Of course I was talking about the Mk-19 AGL

No doubt there is an M-whatever spoon and fork in the mess kit....)
I took the meaning as the Mk-19 AGL.......it can be shot at personal,
just like the M203 or something lobbed by hand.

Hearing about one of our soldiers coming home is always a good thing. Is this
his unit rotating home, or just Mr.Atkinson for a short
time-frame?
