Unless I missed it, the story forgot the roll of the B-52 in Vietnam.

Yep.

When we finally took off the gloves and used B-52’s to bomb Hanoi, we lost a few (16 I think) but it brought them back to the table.

If not for the craven Democrats gutlessness and affinity for Communists in the wake of that 1973 treaty, we might still have a South Vietnam today, much like South Korea.

But they refused to hold up our end of the treaty.

We lost 19 BUFFs in 11 days during Linebacker II. Some members of the 6 man crew got out but some were lost with all on board.

Perhaps they were only addressing the H Model Buff, which did not see action in Vietnam, and are the only models left in service.
