While attending school at Ft. Sill, my car broke down, and i had to leave it on side of road while getting a wrecker.
It wasn't left there an hour before I returned. the MP's had already marked the tires, and left a note on my windshield stating I had 12 hours to move it. The note went on to say that abandoned cars on Ft. Sill were placed on the firing range, typically within 2 weeks.
They needed targets, I guess.

This is not true.

"They needed targets, I guess."I remember training up on the LAW, the Dragon, and the TOW systems back in the mid-70's and we used everything from old tank carcasses to "impounded/unclaimed" automobiles and trucks to bulldozers and cement-mixers.
They sure blowed up real good ...
