Thanks for the pic .... I wish I was still doing my part for the military. ... but I guess I'm just too long in the tooth now. BUT If they asked I WOULD go. I remember when the flight deck around the island of the carrier was FULL of bomb carts and bombs of course. Though I was a green shirt I helped MANY a team of red shirts hand mount weapons. We would unrep bombs 3 days a week for hours at a time .... hmmmm donuts .... anyone who has participated in unrep knows what that means. The amount of tonnage dropped on Vietnam in 72-73 was unbelievable. Shame we missed that one dyke though (if you know who I'm talking about) I don't think we are dropping anywhere as much high explosive now as we did back when I was in country.
Thanks for a great post. I sure do know who you mean. When I got back fro Vietnam, a couple of us that had been there and some other friends of ours, drove from Los Angeles up the coast of California. We stopped at every gas station we could and put Jane Fonda Hanoi Jane stickers in their bathrooms. LOL
Then years later I met her at a gym in Los Angeles and had the great pleasure of letting loose a major rant on her, in her face up close and personal. I am 5'11" and believe me I took advantage of it , I got right in her face. heh heh
I am so glad you came to the Canteen and please stop in often. Great post my friend.
