  To be fair, they ordered him to take the tank...<br><br>They never specified WHERE to take it, or WHAT to do with it once there...

  I &quot;met&quot; him in about 1988 at Ft Hood while I was a tanker with D Co. 3/32 AR. They were doing some research on the history of the unit and discovered that Mr. Pool was still alive and living in Texas. He was brought to Ft. Hood a couple of times and given a grand welcome. Memories are a bit vague from that time but an M1 was given a new name .. &quot;In the mood&quot; painted on the gun tube and Mr. Pool was in the commander&apos;s hatch as the tank was brought in front of the entire Battalion standing in formation in the Motor Pool. Speeches were given and we were brought to attention and saluted the man. I remember the grin on his face ... all the awards in the world don&apos;t mean as much as the respect show to him that day. <br> <br>One time they had a canopy erected on a hill overlooking where a tank company maneuvered against another. Mr. Pool and his wife were in seats under the canopy so he could watch those tanks maneuver. He had a Major acting as an aide who had a radio to talk to those &nbsp;units. Mr. Pool was not impressed by some of that maneuvering and critiqued it. This was passed on and the operation was repeated after those critiques. <br> <br>During this I was there as a &quot;Goofer&quot; bringing bottles of cold water and sandwiches to Mr. Pool and his wife. <br> <br>It was a great day.

  Only War Daddy and the fact that it followed his tank crew was similar. And a few scenes were similar But The movie was set in April 1945, not June-September 1944

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBGkRYcyJEY&amp;t=940">15:40</a>, in that scene, you can notice, Norman (AKA Machine) is the only one<br>not firing. First time in combat, didn&apos;t know what to do. Thought that was cool.

  I&apos;m actually commenting again, because I&apos;m one of the few who truly hated fury, because it was so wildly inaccurate. <br>It felt like a disservice and an insult to the actual crew of In the mood. <br>I have strong feelings about the servicemen of ww2.

  It was called In The Mood as a double entendre, I would say a triple entendre myself. &nbsp;😅 The most popular band at the time of the war was The Glen Miller Band and they had a hit song named In The Mood.

  The trick to CIV is combat loss or ‘the fire’
