The U.S. military dumped millions dollars worth of goods off a beach in Vanuatu, purely to spite the British and French.
AMAZING.

WHEN THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ABANDONED THE Vanuatuan island of Espiritu Santo after occupying it as a base during World War II, it left behind infrastructure works such as roads, buildings and runways. But its oddest legacy might be the millions of dollars of goods it dumped into the ocean — just so the French and British couldn’t have them.
