Vietnam war-era shell explodes, killing 6 people and injuring 4 others who had been trying to saw it open in Vietnam (Reuters)
Wonder if that was the one Kerry tossed into the rice paddies?
Looks like it's safer to shoot a gun into your leg! =)
Tell me what idiot takes a shell from a live war and tries to saw it open??? I feel sorry for the people lost and injured but please my grandson has more common sense than that!

notice they didn't quite mention WHOSE shell they were trying to cut apart!
The NVA had artillery, tanks, and rockets - they were well supplied by the USSR and the Communist Chinese.
The chinese and russians stuck out like a sore thumb among the NVA regulars - made much better targets!
Israeli media reports that it was being sawed because the individuals were trying to remove gun powder from it.
This almost happened to me, but I was too smart to use a saw. I rapped on the shell with a hammer. That was fun.
Somewhere, John Kerry fills out an application for another medal...
Now I don't care who you are...thats funny!
Close. What they were doing was making fishing aids. They have been doing this for years. The real big bombs make other things. This is an example how unregulated, people will hunt till their own extinction.
