We built that air base. We have helped make Viet Nam a viable economy-we buy a lot of stuff from them, not the Russians.
We should have some say about it, if there is a threat to one of our military installations.
US military tankers do not take off from regular airports to my knowledge, at least they are not fueled at one. If the Russians wish to bomb a US airfield, then they can expect an appropriate military response.
The point is, thanks to the knuckleheads in the White House now, no one respects us or fears us.
Is it too much to ask a trading partner like Viet Nam to stop co-operating with a country that is provoking us at one of our military installations?
My view is we built that airport,with a lot of American blood, and we can take it out.
Your mileage may vary.
Got it. You missed 1975 apparently. There was this thing that happened, and we don’t get to direct who flies in and out of the airports there any more.
I cant believe you think bombing that airport is even slightly sane.
We should at least make sure before we bomb it that no Nam vets are there at the airport, arriving for one of the popular battlefield tours. You cool with that?/
Because a bomber flew around Guam. You really need to become aware that bombers and patrol planes, (yes, ours too) fly every inch of legal airspace we can get to. It isn’t cause for war.
And if you love war so much that you want to bomb someone, there is a school of thought that the threat in the South China sea is China, not Russia.
