Personification: 3M: Vulcan

By Dr. Patrick A. ODougherty

Def. Personification: an imagination person or creature conceived or figured to represent a thing or abstraction.

Vulcan: the ancient God of fire and metalworking.

Military--a six barrel, 20 mm US antiaircraft gun system mounted on

An armored personnel carrier and first deployed in 1968.

Do you see Vulcan in this photo of the 3M assembly plant off Payne Avenue in St. Paul, MN? Repeat Saigon, Saigon, Saigon! Relate your idiom narrative to this photo St. Paul, Minnesota's Black Hole.

See the War in Vietnam personified in factory walls.

You lost me with this one. I didn't know that 3M was in the munitions making business. That's a whole lot of firepower if not used for shooting down planes.

My partner is Vietnamese. While she hated what the communists did to her beloved country, she has an uncle (among other family members in the North) who is still alive after fighting for over 30 years against the good (?) guys with all the firepower you describe. How would you like to be on the receiving end of a B-52 strike?
