The Killing Fields
Have you ever seen the Movie "The Killing Fields?" It is one I have watched so very many times. Part of it portrays one B52's bomb load dropped off target, (I was a B52 Crew Member during that time.) The rest of the movie depicted the life of one person who experienced the Kmer Rouge and lived to tell about it. He was even given an Oscar for his role in the movie. Later he was killed by a drive-by shooting in his L.A. home. Love living your honeymoon thru your commentary guys.
