Ban Me Thout Bunker

This would be me hanging out in a tin roofed and concrete block bunker at Ban Me Thout Airbase, Vietnam -  1972. Bunker surrounded by sandbags spewing forth the red clay soil of this high altitude region of the Vietnam Central Highlands. Holding a small, dirty, tattered South Vietnamese flag found on the ground. The base was like a ghost town, but had all the earmarks of recent fighting. We were there in the C-130 for a short cargo drop-off and pickup sortie. Photo by Joe the Navigator.
