just a note re: Masters of Deceit
when I got to Camp Alpha when I DEROS'd in July 68 (actually boarding the bird was next) we were each issued a copy of the book with a letter written by Westy. The big lie of defeat was raging already at home following Tet, and Westy himself was under media and leftist attack. Cronkite had already spent his 15 minutes there to investigate Tet, LOL.
Anyway, Westy (in response to the different America we were returning to) had personally purchased the entire inventory of "Masters of Deceit) from the publisher to give to we who were returning at that time......His message in the letter was that he wanted us to know what was now happening to the country we had known a year earlier. The book was given to returning GI's until they were all gone, to all who departed through Bien Hoa/Tan San Nhut or Da Nang on DEROS or ETS. I'd guess that even the total inventory of the publisher wouldn't have lasted more than a couple of weeks at that time.
A few months later, the Democratic Party was taken over by the enemy, starting with the shenanigans in Chicago's 68 Dem Convention......they rolled over at that time without so much as a fight.
I had read the book cover to cover by that time, and saw the Dem party as the coup it was, and have forever since watched the politics and direction of my coumtry change thru exactly the tactics described in the book, even to this day.
Afternoon Vn_survivor_67-68,
Prior to joining the US Army, I was in the Merchant Marines(SIU) and over heard the following conversation of a black Viet Nam Vet(Radical) trying to educate another brother on the little book of Mao.
This POS told they other person that they have to support the women(s) movement, the gay movement and any other organization that wants a communist revolution in America.
Well this commie did not last long(fired) for his radical conduct and poor job performance.
The brother to whom this POS was attempting to indoctrinate, ignored this fool and became one outstanding (Wiper) in ship's engine department.
I always laugh when I hear the communists(democrats) blame the war in Viet Nam on President Nixon.
They seem to have forgotten it was the (kennedy POS) who sent soldiers over there in the frst place as advisors.(MACV)
I was hoping Jabba "The Gut" kennedy would have a cardiac or stroke during the Alito proceedings.
It was nice to see Shamoo kennedy, put in his place by Snarlin Arlen.
Big "A" will be confirmed and another win for "America The Beautiful."
