Back in the good old days when this country was willing to go to great lengths to win the war. See if you could try and do this today and you would have so many special interest groups screaming at you. It would be impossible. It also shows how rural South Jersey was back then.

When the war ended, the Army said the site was cleaned up.

Army veracity all begins with the recruiters.

But they are OLD WMDs so they don't count........

Yeah, just like that site in Orlando where there's now a subdivision and a school. They're still finding live ammo.

The sheer number of artillery shells staggered the mayor.

Check out the video of the mayor staggering across the parking lot.

There were even problem back then. Remember the scene from “Tora Tora Tora” where Gen Short was informed the Army was unable to get permission to install radar on a mountaintop in Hawaii, because of the Parks Dept and the Wildlife Preservation Society???

Well I can remember when there were some great explosions in the back of a drive-in theater.

Damn. I went to that dirve-in in my younger days. I thought I was the cause of the fireworks. :^(

When the war ended, the Army said the site was cleaned up. The land returned to civilian use, which in this case became a drive-in, complete with concession stands.

And in all those years of people driving cars over them, bouncing cars over them, and walking to those concession stands and bathrooms over them, how many went off?

You know just last month a errant artillery shell being tested at Picatinny Arsenal in North Jersey veered off course and landed in a home over a mile from the launch site.

The Army still tests fires live experimental rounds in NJ on a regular basis.

Good thing they didn’t show the movie Earthquake at that theater, then.

Back in the 60’s we found 2 Confederate artillery rounds burried about 20 yards north of my Dad’s Texaco Service Station. Actually we didn’t find them - some guy with a metal detector did.
