Any recollections how this was received?

No, sorry.
I have been out for 50+ years.
Land mines have their uses, especially in areas that our troops are surrounded by hostiles as remote post in Viet Nam were. Without mines around the parameters it would be too easy for the enemy to sneak up to the line.
They could use some around Mar-a-Lago to keep out all the TDS infected intruders.
