I’ve seen A-4s lots of times. On 10 December 1966, one of those low-flying muthas dropped 2 250lb bombs right in the middle of my company. In the blink of an eye, we went from 6 Corpsmen to only 2. He and I still talk about that day.

That’s horrible- did they ever investigate that incident?

The battalion just ahead of us during Operation Hastings was bombed by an Air Force F-100 who didn’t respond to radio calls, smoke grenades, or air panels. Killed 22 of our Marines.
