Bombs Away!

A B-52 bomber has just dropped the last Air Force M117 750-pound bomb, like was dropped on Vietnam to the death of thousands and thousands of “gooks.” It was dropped on an uninhabited island off Guam. The crew members interviewed for the article apparently think dropping the same type of bomb that devastated Vietnam and caused epic levels of death and misery is just so cool.

The Vietnam War was a great evil. Why do people still defend it? Read Nick Turse’s Kill Anything that Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam. I reviewed the book here.
