Showing results for "Ride" in Military & War

Experience the last great action of US Marine Tanks in a way you never imagined. This is 2005, Al Anbar Iraq; Welcome to the havoc of counter-insurgency operations. Feel the heat of firing tank main gun, sleep deprivation, and the blistering realities of continuous tank operations. In the darkness, your eyes burn, and you can taste the acrid smoke of main gun rounds. You scan the phosphorous green-glow for targets as AK-47 rounds impact the turret.

When Lyndon Baines Johnson wanted to go somewhere, there was no stopping him. This dynamic president called for Air Force One as others summon a taxi - at a moment's notice, whatever the hour or the weather. And the man who made sure that LBJ got his ride was General James U. Cross, the president's hand-picked pilot, top military assistant, and personal confidante. The only Air Force One pilot to have a position, simultaneously, in the White House, General Cross is also the only member of LBJ's inner circle who has not publicly offered his recollections of the president. Until now.
