Still pretty tight for Mr Phillips. Bombing of the north ended in 72 and MC drawdown was in earnest in 72-73. Very few Marines remained in 74 and only the helo crews came back in 75 for the evacuation. I was in Cubi Pt, Philippines on stby with a herc crew but we were never called out.
Maybe you missed it. MSM is now admitting he was never in Viet Nam.
