It's a simile.        PQ> A reference to some televised scenes of American personnel &        PQ> equipment making many hasty exits from built-up areas in Vietnam.        PQ> If the writer had worded the by-line "... it as a hasty..." you        PQ> probably wouldn't be asking your question.              Ah, they were evacuated then right from the building roofs because they were       surrounded by the Vietnamese, and it looks like a river flood. Yes?              Bye, Paul!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/0 1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 6 1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
