Last March, an ex-Marine named James Hopkins crashed his Jeep into the lobby of a West Los Angeles Veterans Hospital and blasted away at the walls with a pistol and rifle, screaming that he was losing his mind because of Agent Orange.

There are also a bunch of improbable photos: six fashion models in khaki landing a hot air balloon amidst a herd of giraffes; six fashion models waving from on top of a jeep.

The soldiers hop out of the jeep and at the order of their commanding officer, open fire on the unarmed group of men, women and children.
