    I remember a scene in Apocalypse Now, when the guys went out for a helecopter ride and a newbie wondered why everyone sat on their helments.

      My best friend was a machine gunner on a helicopter in Nam.
      The only time he opened up to me about his time there was when we where watching that movie.
      It started with that scene and the reason why they sat on their helmets.

    Well, if you think about it, it IS interesting that that part has been kind of off limits. I guess it is about time that they try to protect that area. Especially since so many anti personel mines are set to destroy the person that triggered them.
