So Im sure a lot of us are aware of the show "Dirty Jobs" Mike Rowe has on the Discovery Channel. Its a very entertaining show and it shows what hard work many Americans have to face to earn a living.
So one day I catch the beginning of a segment where he is standing there in ACU's with two soldiers and a humvee. They are talking about how hazardous it is to run supply convoys during combat. So one of the soldiers hands Mike Rowe an M16 and Mike sorta gets this nervous look and says "Thats a gun?"
Soldier says "Thats not a gun soldier. Its a rifle"
Then they go off to do a combat exercise that simulates and ambush and explain more about the job.
To me that this man Mike Rowe just did not seem comfortable around guns. The guy who wades through slop and mud, dust, sands, hammers, drywall etc to have a very entertaining show.
Its hard to explain, but I just felt it was worth sharing. It was rather weird to see. Even without military training I know to call an M16 a weapon or rifle. Still a good show.
