PG and Verge... congratulations.

What machine gun sounded like cloth being torn/ripped, but much louder?
Why?

[Guroburov]

Wasn't that the MG-42? I'm probably wrong but seems familiar.

[StarCruiser]

I believe George Washington was given 6 stars so that no one would ever have out-ranked him...

[panzergator]

Star cruiser, I am corrected. Two men have held the rank of General of the Armies (note the plural). The first is John Perishing. The second, posthumously, is George Washington. The bearer of this rank wears six stars. A General of the Army (singular) wears five stars, a rank only given in wartime. Omar Bradley was the last to hold the latter rank.
