[bonzo]

It was a chemical used during the war, it did what it said on the tin. The viet Kong armies used the forests for cover. No forested area no place to hide.

10 for me this time, the only one I had a problem with was the Clint Eastwood one, I knew he had directed for a while and it was the only title I could think of from a while back. Don't think I'll get another one.
