He's another one that needs one in the neck. :fullauto:

You've been quoting that alot lately...  do you know the origins of that, here, or are you just saying it because others have stated it - without knowing the origins?

"In the neck" The neck for us, was the Fulda gap's code name. It's where the Russians were expected to invade Germany when I was stationed there in the 70's. It's a major choke point where the tanks were expected to cross the border. "In the throat" was a position on the Czechoslovakian border, which was our main objective. Those that were "In the neck" had a 3 minute life expectancy if the shite ever hit the fan. Now, for me, "In the neck" is where I aim while doing pistol drills. :)

A friend of mine up here was an M-60 Tank Gunner just south of the Fulda gap during the 70's. He was talking about it during the Packer game last week. Said a lot of people didn't realize how much armor and crap the Soviets had crammed into a very small space just across the border.

All the better for a couple of A-10s with full magazines and hard points.

He was there the same time a I was. M551A1, M60A1 and  M60A3 gunner/TC myself. The Soviets armor numbers were staggering. We were told we were out numbered 4-1. Thank gawd for superior fire power!

Soviets were running T-62's back then, weren't they? Turned out to have a few problems, thank goodness. Syrians and Egyptians preferred the T-54/55.

Makes perfect sense.  I was gonna say, if you were saying that here, after finding it's origin, you'd performed some hellish research.  Drew started that, in reference to a politician I believe, and stated, "Fuk them in the neck..."   :lmao:  It was instantly hilarious, but ultimately shortened over time, to just "in the neck with them!" and then just "in the neck."
