“That’s a helicopter bringing men down to the (121st Medical Evacuation Hospital) from the front line,” Greenway said, holding a photo of a military helicopter.
The helicopter in Greenway’s photo looks like the helicopters that flew across the opening credits to the television show M A S H.

Federal court awards $2.3 billion to U.S. spy ship crew held hostage by North Korea in 1968

A U.S. federal court has ordered North Korea to pay $2.3 billion in damages to the crew and family of the spy ship USS Pueblo, who were tortured and mistreated for 11 months in 1968 after being captured by the North Korean navy. The Washington federal court said that the surviving members of the crew and families of those now dead are owed compensatory damages for confinement and suffering of $1.15 billion and doubled that for punitive damages against Pyongyang.
It said many of the 83-strong crew, one of whom was killed by the North Koreans when they seized the Pueblo on January 23, 1968, were mentally and physically abused during their captivity.
