Davy Crockett
Davy Crockett is most known for his stand and death at the Alamo against Hertz and Enterprise. Recently I learned that Mr. Crockett’s name was lent to another bad military idea: The tactical nuclear device M65 Recoilless Rifle aka “The Davy Crockett” It was never used in combat because of a design oversight. The Davy Crockett had a range nearly 3 miles. The problem was if the wind shifted the soldiers that launched the M65 tactical nuclear warhead, would be be within the nuclear fall-out. Luckily it was only tested once, and the military big wigs said…oops. In the video above, look out for a famous politician.
