We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

Besides, you guys all need a break from the humdrum drivel I've inflicted on you so far -- Lowered knows *I* do, especially since I've been giving myself flashbacks for the past week... Soooo, without further ado, I'd just like to... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:28:08 -0600 Sanger - Actually, the guy with the blooper *is* birdwatching. He's watching the shot-down Hubird settle into the mud... He's also pulling security for the two erstwhile airmobility proponents who are up to their elbows in rice paddy slogging to the paddy dike ("Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, the mug and the plaque."). Don't try mud-slogging at home, kids -- leave it to us trained professionals... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57104 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57104 Sun, 25 Feb 2007 00:18:53 -0600 Sanger Birdwatching. The chap with the binos has probably just spotted a black great horned lyre bird. which some have mistaken for a water buffalo. Due to their viscious temperment and propensity for unprovoked assaults, it was recommended that birders be well armed at such times.

M79? Thompson? And what are they doing? Pulling up wires or planting things? That is really an odd looking activity.... Great pics though. Can we puleeeze have the rest of the story now...? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57095 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57095 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 17:46:41 -0600 Ca Mau, Now there was a bad place... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57094 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57094 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 16:25:44 -0600 Nope -- Phouc Vinh. But that's what almost *every*where looked like during the dry season -- Vinh Long, Ca Mau, Vi Thanh, Chi Lang, Moc Hoa... Not Soc Trang or Can Tho, though -- no bunkers in sight. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57092 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57092 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 14:40:09 -0600 aathat last shot kinda looked like Tra Cu?? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57091 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/interlude.html#comment-57091 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 12:11:05 -0600
