It makes for an interesting read on this subject.

I’m in the process of replacing my 12+ year-old PC and can’t access my scanner right now. Based on the markings on the report, you might be able to find it at DTIC. If no one can find it, I can scan and post once I get the new PC fully up and running.
It's here!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
