To any of you Vietnam vets, do you recall the troops cutting the ZIPPO lighters down to make a "Shorty"? If so, what was the purpose of cutting them down? The one that I am showing has been cut down 1/2" shorter than a standard ZIPPO.

I never saw one like that TJ? (or one with a dog? humping a lady???)

They put a lot of crazy stuff on ZIPPO's in Vietnam. This one's pretty mild compared to some.

That is true!
I have never seen one cut down before.
