All the pictures that showed the dumping were confiscated by command and destroyed.Along with $$$$$$ of ammo and gear. They got real paranoid about bad press when things started to go sour and by 1971 no one was allowed near a re-cycle area with a camera. Those pictures had to have been taken before 1968 maybe in the Camranh Bay AFB area I saw a lot of all kinds of Great MILSUPS stuff like that. On and On as far a you could see. JGC
These photos were posted in England I think and were taken after the fall of South Vietnam But I know much stuff was dumped into the China sea

Thanks for sharing these and as others have said, thanks for serving.

The piles are hard to believe! Reminds me of WWII when the US dumped trucks, equipment, etc, into the ocean instead of bringing them back home.
