If i'm not mistaken Bad Co. is in reference to Bravo Company. A division deployed in Vietnam and later was used by certain members of that company who in turn created a rock & roll band, hence the song and group -- Bad Co.

I listen to some of their songs.

Bad Company were formed by Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke from Free, Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople and Boz Burrell from King Crimson. They created a supergroup from the remnants of others. As they were all English, their participation in the Vietnam war is unlikely.

I guess I am mistaken....I must have them confused with another rock band formed from the Vietnam war.

They do sing a song that's title "Bad Company" as well don't they?

Well,

aside from the fact, Bravo Company during the Vietnam war earned a rather fierce reputation, and it too was nicknamed Bad Company when anyone referred to the division of Bravo Company itself.

Did you know that bears can actually smell in excess of up to 2 miles and even further depending on the type of bear? They can actually smell the contents in sealed tin cans from the residue on the lid.

Now that I know this, I will never go on hikes without at least an AK-47 or a 12 gauge pump action shotgun.
