Oh BS. Fighting and winning a war demands cruel and sometimes immoral acts, its just the way it is. If you can’t bring yourself to understand this fact of life then don’t bother reading about it; just let the rough men and women who protect you do their job without your moral preening and virtue signaling. And as far as waterboarding terrorists we capture, not a problem at all. I would say this to our military leaders, waterboard them till they decide to cooperate, then squeeze every bit of info from them and when your done put the terrorist animals in a helicopter fly them 50 miles out to sea and throw them out, they’ll be good bait, sharks need to eat too.
What was it that they did to the Hmong? How is that connected to this story?
The CIA is essentially the 3rd reich’s intelligence arm, paper-clipped in and combined with our east coast banking elites from the pre-war era.
The murdered JFK and never looked back.
Published 4 weeks after JFK’s murder. JFK gets murdered in Dallas, and Truman rushes to his desk and writes this.
That about says it all.
I should have clarified it. I was using the Hmong as an example of how rotten the CIA can be. The CIA used and then betrayed and left them at the mercy of the Communists in Laos.
I agree. Trump is in extreme danger.
“and if a people become too civilized to do what’s necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they won’t survive. “
This is precisely the internal rationalization the SS used as they discussed their “heavy and burdensome” mass murder duties in the east. That argument is satan’s playground and is used to justify every act that is utterly the antithesis of America.
There were so many Cheiu Hoi scouts, Tiger Teams, PRUs and other paramilitary types living parallel lives as VC in the South, that it was best not to trust any of them.
><
Correct. We had a Cheiu Hoi (Phu Tan was his name) scout that we never trusted and he knew it. He turned out to be good.
Vietnam...a dirty little CIA war?
The CIA should be disbanded and all files on all Americans destroyed. The tricky part is what to do with the agents. They cannot be set free to plot their nefarious deeds.
An uninhabited island with no infrastructure and no communications or weapons sounds about right.
CIA cover org Air America was supplying arms and munitions to Laotian warlords in exchange for opium (Star Circle was one brand) which was then sold to American GIs in Nam. CIA agents did this to “supplement” their retirement as they considered themselves underpaid and unappreciated. In other words just plain greed.
This is first hand info from a relative who was a loadmaster on an Air Am C-47.
Yep.
Question: has the CIA given aid and comfort to the enemies of the several States?
A good argument can be made for such case; especially given their known involvement in drug trafficking, providing both material backing as well as legal support.
CIA Drug Trafficking and Mafia Interview; Allegations of CIA drug trafficking; The CIA Was Behind a Massive Drug Trafficking Operation in Argentina, Russian Drug Smuggler Claims; American Made: CIA Drug and Sex Trafficking In The National Interest.
My uncle, then 21, was assigned to a colonel with a phd in psychology. He didn’t know it at the time, but later understood he was CIA. Over beers not too long ago my uncle informed me that this colonel would have my uncle “go out and find a few psychopaths”. These would be young American boys they’d drop behind enemy lines to kill as many of the enemy as they could.
Human velociraptors...
Rough and tough men like you? I wish Harry Truman were still alive so he could show you what a real man is like.
Have a Happy Memorial Day.
Thank you for your service but not that of your Colonel. Do you think the Colonel, he if still alive, ever concerned himself with the future prospects of these 'psychopaths' and their families after they left the service?
He didn't trust the FBI or CIA either.
There were two special forces officers assigned as a liason to lead the Hmong. The expedition into Laos was betrayed by an NVA spy and it was ambushed. One of the special forces officers and a number of the Hmong fought back and made it back out. The other special forces officer was killed but his body was brought back and he is buried inside the gate at Fort Benning.
