In the opening graphs, the MAAG is called a “bunch of thugs.” US Military MAAGs served around the world as ad visors. They were the earliest American troops in Vietnam, and many died.
Listen to the rancor in the rest of the article.
“Clearly, Yeager appeared blithely indifferent to the Pakistani killing machine which was mowing down around 10,000 Bengalis daily from 1970 to 1971” and so many other idiotic derogatory comments.
” When Yeager discovered his plane was smashed, he rushed to the US embassy in Islamabad and started yelling like a deranged maniac. His voice resounding through the embassy, he said the Indian pilot not only knew exactly what he was doing but had been specifically instructed by the Indian prime minister to blast Yeager’s plane.”
“Most missions flown by Indian pilots were conducted by day and at low level, with the pilots making repeated attacks on well defended targets. Indian aircraft flew into Pakistani skies thick with flak, virtually non-stop during the 14-day war. Many Bengali guerrillas later told the victorious Indian Army that it was the epic sight of battles fought over their skies by Indian air aces and the sight of Indian aircraft diving in on Pakistani positions that inspired them to fight”
This all nothing but a BS propaganda piece.
BS is polite...
Didn’t you read your own president frustration ,when pakis lost war within 14 days ??Trust me it still an epic .

Sure the article is loaded with nationalistic bravado, but what happened in Bangladesh was a genocide which saw almost 3 million people get killed.
What part of the article is BS propaganda and how so?
