Dear Cheryl,
Let me tell you about a weapon
with a killing punch.
Howitzer: 109 mm. Weight: 27 tons.
Type of shells: White phosphorus.
Chemical. High explosive. Illumination.
Two weeks before I got here, a battery
killed 900 of the 1600 VC hit. Yesterday
two companies were sent to take a hill.
500 strong. Only 67 walked back.
Took the damn hill though.
Stay cool—Phil
P.S. I used to hate Disneyland.
Now it’s all I think about.
