I knew he was French Canadian, but I was really thrown by his accent. He kind of sounds like Peter Sellers doing Dr. Strangelove. His part starts at 6:15 but the whole video is worth watching.

Awesome video! I especially liked the last few minutes about keeping kids from being juvenile delinquents with marksmanship training.

....Oh wow, I would've pegged him from the Valley area in South Texas.

 

[howardhuges]

I talk to him daily..... Hello John...... John you there... its me, hows the new Infantry rifle coming along. By the way his accent sounds Russian to me although he was French by blood. A honest to God American Patriot lacking by so many today.

That worked out better than "Midnight Basketball"!!!

See the group the soldier fired at 18:20? I think the rifle doubled there too.

Yep, I heard what sounded like a double to me, too.

And he sounded like my German teacher...

 

[bustedknuckles]

Yeah, it's only 25 meters but when you hear the double, it punches a big hole in the 10 ring.
Cool video anyhow, I enjoy the big picture films.

John Garand upon his retirement told the audience " you have known me for years but never pronounced my last name correctly......it's pronounced Gar-end.

All my Grand ever says is "Bang,bang,bang,bang,bang,bang,bang,bang,PING!" Without any accent of course!!!

I used to love watching "The Big Picture" when I was a kid. That and "Victory at Sea". Nowadays patriotic, pro-America broadcasting would be seen as offensive.

No I hadn't, but Im glad I have now. GI1 That was a cool video.

The guns, the cars, the airplanes, the dames..... I was born in the wrong era, I'm sure of it.

 

[tpf68]

Thanks for posting that, great film.

Sad to think that in today's world many are offended by what was considered normal and patriotic back then. How far we've come in such a short time. GI4

Not in my house. Or my kids' houses.
