LOL!
As Mr. Burns would say: “Exxxxcelleeeeent!”
Based on the way various persons in the illustration are dressed and what they are doing, I’m assuming this is an 18th or 19th century illustrator’s imaginative depiction of the destruction of say…the Jamestown settlement?
Do you have a link to the source?
Interesting user name. I was at An Hoa in I Corps for Tet ‘69. Yeah, sort of tame after ‘68; they just mortared the ammo dump. The subsequent fire couldn’t be controlled and exploded the dump. Pretty spectacular.
Yeah, they hit the dump in 67 too.
I thought it was a nuke big mushroom cloud, you could
see the bigger bombs being carried up and going off.
I was a mile away and the shock wave knocked me into a
fox hole.
Luckily it was hit on the third round and the ordinance
guys were already under ground. They went around in
skivvies and boots for a few days as everything above
ground was wiped off.
Sin Loi as they say.
God Bless, fifty years ago. I never thought I’d
live to see what the democrats have done to this
country.
t.
I was on perimeter guard just south of the dump but
was on during the day so was not close that night.
The next day when I went on duty, the sand was covered
in jagged bomb fragments, looked like gray spikey bushes.
We took no casualties that night but several of the large
hangers were damaged and had to be brought down.
The EOD guys did it pretty smooth only some pogue
was standing too close and got killed by a flying bolt.
