I too had a great uncle that served in the US Army in France during WWI, in a field artillery unit. He survived, but was a functioning alcoholic for most of his life afterwards. My own experiences gave me a greater understanding of the horrors that both sides witnessed in that hell and others that followed, and what it did to the veterans that lived it.Remembrance Day today (UK), when we especially remember those killed and wounded in the Great War 1914 -1918, among them my great-uncle David, whose grave I visited in France.
As is now my tradition (since last year) I’ll be watching that staggering masterpiece of cinema known as “1917”
We seem to have a talent for creating hells on earth. The trenches of the Great War are certainly among them. As Wilfred Owen wrote in his poem “Strange Meeting”:I too had a great uncle that served in the US Army in France during WWI, in a field artillery unit. He survived, but was a functioning alcoholic for most of his life afterwards. My own experiences gave me a greater understanding of the horrors that both sides witnessed in that hell and others that followed, and what it did to the veterans that lived it.
I spent the best part of my working life looking through Zeiss lenses.The mechanic Carl Zeiss opened a workshop for optical equipment and precision mechanics in Jena on November 17, 1846 at the age of 30, from which today's Zeiss Group emerged with an annual turnover of more than seven billion euros. Zeiss is considered a pioneer of the optical industry in Germany, which has one of its centers in Jena to this day. During the division of Germany, the Zeiss company was also divided - its headquarters are now in Oberkochen in Baden-Württemberg.
The first Tessar camera lens was developed by Zeiss in 1902. When Robert Koch first time saw the tubercle bacillus, he looked through a Zeiss microscope. The first photo that was taken of a person on the moon, the camera lens came from Zeiss. Eyeglass lenses have also been manufactured in Jena since 1912 and now in Oberkochen.
And here the old company logos, the two logos when both company locations were divided and the new company logo.

"Arm yourselves! To the Ramparts!!"Today, for the first time, the US has a female president. At least for a few hours. Joe Biden has to undergo a colonoscopy, and has transferred power to Kamala Harris for the duration of the operation.
Kamala Harris : "Why are these soldiers lined up naked?""Arm yourselves! To the Ramparts!!"
Gives new meaning to "boots on the ground"."Arm yourselves! To the Ramparts!!"
I was 7 years old then. At the time your description was (and still is) the official word. Numerous attempts to replicate Oswald's feat with an identical weapon has only been repeated once. Was Oswald that good or that lucky?November 22nd 1963, President Kennedy was killed in Dallas by a angry loner who had a grudge against everyone.
Yes, I don't know what's going on there. I am personally certain that I could make that shot! The same for any decent hunter I know.I was 7 years old then.

This reminds me so much of the infamous "Bad Carrot" episode of Lexx (season 4)Kamala Harris : "Why are these soldiers lined up naked?"
Mrs. Harris advisor : "Patriotism, Ma'am!"
Kamala Harris : "Patriotism!?"
Mrs. Harris advisor : "They stripped for the colonoscopy they volunteered for, as a sign of support to their president, Ma'am!"
