Only place I ever saw the word was in the novel In Harm's Way
Sounded sickeningly sweet.

No Geedunk has nothing to do with sweets. That is more fat pills or, pogey bait was more to sweets. (The way we learned what Gedunk was was the sound that junk food makes when dispenced out of a vending machine. Gee-dunk.)
I just read about the longest confired Kill in Iraq so far.
It was a Marine Sgt in 1/23 that had a confirmed kill shot of 1032 yards.

IIRC, it was a tad over 2300 yards, but he cheated. He managed to mount a scope on a Ma Duce and I think he adjusted the gas regulator down to make it a manual repeater.
Old White Feather was quite a warrior

I've got a great video of Gunny Hathcock before he died. He was very funny. I got chills when he told the story about Apache. Even after all those years, you could see how much it meant to cap her.
