US Artillery in History
In the early spring of 1966, the state-of-the-art 105-millimeter towed M102 howitzer was introduced into service in Vietnam. However, many seasoned artillerymen hesitated to use the new model at first.

As such, they were extremely wary of the new model and did not want their trusty old cannon replaced.
