(9,019 posts)The regular munitions for the long range guns had some white phosphorous tracer shells included in the truck convoy to the firing range site. A slight error that turned into a major conflagration.
My friend's dad was an honest Marine and skedaddled to the home of the base commander to fess up. 'Sir, that beautiful orange and taupe sunset you see is due to my unacceptable error....'
Now, do ANY of us think Trump or Hogsbeath would fess up if this expensive little diversion started a massive brush fire? I know there are a LOT more people living closer to Camp Pendleton than there were back in the early 60s. This could turn into a huge and expensive disaster. Can't help but think that is part of Trump's plan. He seems to love punishing states that have the audacity to vote against him.
