Indeed.
And then they go nuts, if some kid with a shoe shine bomb box shows up or drops a grenade with the trigger held down in PVC tape into the fuel tank of a MA Deuce and one of our guys pops them.
One of my friends shot one of those kids.
He got a bronze star, and a lifetime of troubles.
He’s gone now.
I crewed a Ma-deuce, back in the day.
Never saw one with a fuel tank, though.
