Just like my signature says, "Politicians..get respectable..."
Arnold is a pillock and a wanker. In the long run, he was no friend to California.
During the lock-down, he did a PSA (public service announcement). He was sitting in an in-ground jacuzzi in one of his sprawling back yards. He had a big cigar and a drink. He told all of us to get shot and isolate. What a twat.

I believe the image is reversed, Beret are facing wrong side, Nice, I used to have Charles De Gaulle's Uniform with the Kepi had 2 stars. It was stolen. I still have some other Free French and Algiers period and the Uniforms of one of my good friends who fought at Dien Bien Phu ( he was a teenager at the time ) who became a POW of the Viet Minh then when free rejoined the FFL until war Formally broke out then he was commissioned as a 2nd Lt with the 33rd ARVN. After US pulled out they were still fighting the North for another 3 to 5 years ( 3 years in South Vietnam and another 2 years in Cambodia ) until he became a POW for 5 years. After his release he moved near me here in Texas. Now that man was a die hard HERO. His name was 2nd Lt. Dennis Pham ( Dung Pham ) He was awarded every high decoration of numerous Countries except for the USA.

Yes, awesome actor and has been keeping his techniques PERFECTLY spot on, Sempai Hiroyuki Sanada is a 1st Dan Kyokushin, This is a far better version of Shogun. He was great in 47 Ronin and Twilight Samurai

Probably a good thing nobody realized these jackets or other piles would be worth a fortune 80 years later...

I have a Dress Luftwaffe visor endorsed by Erich Hartmann to me back in 1985....what would that fetch?
