I've been up that Highway on the Kuwait side. I wsa there in June 1994 and a Kuwaiti soldier told me that they had finally gotten that mess cleaned up about six months before I got there. If we hit them this time, we better make Highway 8 look like a merciful act.

I had buddies doing post-damage reports at the site, but I didn't go to.

They had to do extensive photo coverage to determine damage effectiveness. Needless to say, the damage was quite "effective." Don't know how it happened, but quite a bit of the archives wound up for sale on the streets in Kuwait, Saudi, etc., and were packaged in compact little 4x6 photo albums. Looked like a family album - then you'd open it up and WHAM - unbelievable carnage. I remember the Saudis would sell them to the G.I.s in Saudi and loved watching the facial expressions as they scanned the photos.

Heard "Puff The Magic Dragon" came through a time or two over HWY 8 . .
