And this is the scene that prompted my post, not the shooting. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CogYkHrhg/

I apologize to those that did not get the idea I was attempting to convey, (obviously in a ham fisted manner. ) And here I thought I was being clever. Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that? Lance: What? Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. 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' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell? The whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end. Kilgore reflects on this for a moment and frowns. Then he gets up and walks away. Captain Willard stares at him in disbelief. It was never clear if Kilgore is hoping that the war will end or is grieving for the fact it won't last forever. To me this is similar in some ways to what ICE is doing. Napalm. Not sure I am drawing a line between Colonel Kurtz and Trump.... but .... well.... if you think about it too much ... Sorry to those that didn't see the movie in 1979 or see the body counts every night on the TV from Walter Cronkite in the 1960s. I presumed to much and forgot how old I am. -----Original Message----- From: AF [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2026 8:11 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Seth Mattinen <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Politics, Sarcasm, Provocative, bit of truth mixed in I guess you didnt see the movie and dont know about the guy that said it. I would have never guessed that original would have drifted into obscurity.
