I don't know about the rest of you - But I enjoyed looking at those swaths of 03's, 03A3's, Garands, and M14's. The topper was at tail end of the parade - VMI's 1500 cadets all shouldering M14's. I was under the impression that most of the M14's had been recalled for service over in that sandy part of the world. Were VMI's rifles M1A1's? 1500 is a bunch of either one. Does anyone know whether or not these are M14's or M1A1's? I enjoyed the sight either way.
