    During World War II the atolls and islands of Micronesia were the focus of military development, extensive fighting and bombardment. By the end of that war the islands were littered with unexpended Japanese ammunition and with US ordnance that had failed to explode on impact. This paper examines the legal and moral ownership of that ammunition, as it has a bearing on its management in the modern historic preservation context..

    I think no matter the circumstances, i'd let somebody else fool around with old, abandoned explosives. And i'd be sure to be a long distance off while they did it.
