An extraordinary feat of marksmanship...

Featured Replies

One of our local stations was showing a spaghetti western marathon of Clint Eastwood movies all day yesterday.  I'm a Eastwood fan and watched some of them.

Now we all know what a marksman Clint Eastwood is in his movies.  He can sever a hangman's rope from a half mile away with his Sharps and kill six men with his sixshooter at close range.

But this guy in a soldier suit was firing a Gatling gun from a wagon and killed a couple dozen cavalry men galloping by on horseback and never hit a horse.  I'd say that was quite a feat with a Gatling gun.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Yep!  Have never seen a horse hit by anyone using a Gatling gun.  Animal cruelty!

I just know it was an actress who had passed away years earlier and one of her final wishes was that her remains be used in a film.  Her daughter consented to have her skeletal remains shown in the GB&U.  She had been a Spanish actress.

Agreed! That however was not the question. How many are buried there?  🤣

Over 400,000 are buried at Arlington National Cemetery.  About 25 are added to rolls each day.

:0)   For Arlington, it's hard to tell exactly. It is around 400,000, but hard to know exactly as they do nearly 40 new interns per week.

You good sir are correct. I used to know her name, but I can't recall it right now.

If that's the case, then, how many survivors are buried in Arlington Cemetery?

From the satellite view, it looks about 80% full. What happens when it's 100% full?
