    My great grandmother was an immigrant that went to Honduras to find work and after the war erupted she was among the huge wave of Salvadorans returning to El Salvador. She survived this war and the Salvadoran Civil War and has passed away yesterday September 7th 2020 due to the Coronavirus here in Texas. Her memory will always live on. Adios Abuelita 💕

She would live her new life here in Texas where she had a puppy who she loved a lot though to this day that puppy hates me, her ashes were taken to El Salvador last month

      The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns-leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.

    My grandpa is El Salvador, and my dad is Hondurian, my dad was about 6-7 years old when this war broke out, he remembers it vividly. That was the day my grandpa fought for his life with a machete, he fled to El Salvador bleeding, he barely made it alive. It would be another 8-10 years before my dad saw his dad again. What people don't realize, is that before the war people of El Salvador and Honduras lived side by side in Honduras, worked together, played with each other, married each other. This was a gruesome war that turned families/ neighbor's on each other.

My Grandpa's best friend and neighbor was hondurian, that morning he came running outaide to find 5 or 6 hondurians had hung my grandpa to a tree by his arms, they were stabbing him with sticks and machetes. My Grandpa's best friend grabbed a machete and fended them off, they said and I quote, "your a traitor, if you want to defend this salvadoran, we will kill you too" he said, "that's fine, kill me, but I'll be sure to take 3 of you with me".
      They backed off. They told him "You saved him today, but tomorrow we will not be 6 men, tomorrow we will be 20-30 men, if we find you protecting him tomorrow, we will kill you and your entire household"

My Father fought in the *100 hour war/Football War… Leaving the military he transition into Hounduras Secret Service protecting the president. He has a few pictures of his platoon & a couple protecting the President. He moved to the states in the early 70’s, retired now at 86yrd old🙌🏾😎✌🏾

But there were other semi-automatics during the war, however those were primarily for specialists and were not given to regular troops until very late or after the war, while the garand/carbine were outfitted for every soldier, marine, and naval personnel.

    • @veliki_dlek
      @veliki_dlek Před 6 lety +1

      Andrew Dalton Ray Yes but there are some a lot more interesting and better weapons that he could talk about. The MG42 could have reached 1200 RPM and its still used today under the name MG3, The AKM based on the Avtomat Kalaschnikov is one of the most used and most famous guns in the world. And the MP44 is the father of all assault rifles. The MG34 was too a big inovation. They even had a curved barrel, krummlauf and a night vision scope,vampyr for the MP44.
