<br/><br/> "It had all looked so simple from the plane--the Puerto Rican island of Vieques stretching out below like some outsize plantain, all lush green on the west end where the U.S. Navy stored bombs until 2001, all crater-pocked and yellowed on the east end where, until February 2003, it practiced exploding them." (SMITHSONIAN) This article discusses the Navy's impact on Vieques, noting that "the pollution the military left behind may imperil paradise."
