It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Cool.
A true statement of Mother Nature taking care of stuff left behind.
Maybe with a couple gallons of Kroil and a big bag of those Big 45 pads I could............... Naw, too much work.
wow
when i was stationed at Shemya afb , ak there were lots and lots of stuff left over from WWII that was just dumped into the ocean around the island. trucks, airplanes, bombs, ammo and lots of other stuff. one of the most remarkable sites was what we called 50 caliber bay. there were thousands or tens of thousands rounds of decommissioned 50 caliber ammo just dumped into the sea. at low tide you could walk out there to it. i heard they later cleaned the place up but i dont want to go back to see.
Great pics. Thanks for sharing gesshots.
Beautiful. What a view of the war, from 75 years later.
Lots of scrap iron there, beautiful pics in a serene setting of what was destruction.
That's what the Afgani tanks looked like a few years back, they've since updated all their tired & worn equipment for the worlds best.....free, thanks to Biden and our top ranked decision making Generals 😡 😡 🤬.

the Russkies are always digging up T-34s and even German tanks that were sinking in the lowlands. get a diver to hook em up with choker cables, a couple big pulleys, a a couple large dozers and drag em out to solid ground. wash off the mud, remove the armaments, and overhaul them back to running order.
Cool photo's! Tanks for the memories! 🙂
Sarco has fair Sherman parts kits in stock, lol
