A little touchy, are we? Smile

I didn't say how the "mad minute" began was at all irrelevant or unimportant. I was merely noting that, while the British created it, the Americans took it to the extreme.

Surely you don't think that an infantry company shooting .303-caliber bolt-action rifles can put on a firepower display that even begins to compare to that of a tank company firing .50-caliber heavy machine guns and 90mm cannons. Especially when Vietnam mad minutes were usually conducted during hours of darkness, making for a spectacular fireworks show.

The video below isn't Vietnam, but it gives a rough idea of what I'm talking about:
