GARRY OWEN, Sir

...from a fellow HHC, 1/7th Cav, 3rd Bde SkyTrooper at the Beginning of the Vietnam War in 1965.

...BTW, our U.S. Air Force Forward Air Commander 1/LT. CHARLES W. HASTINGS in 1965 ended up in Thailand in charge of the Air Evacuation of Saigon at the End of the War in 1975 .

...Both HALBERSTRAM's ..'The Best and the Brightest'.. & MOORE/GALLOWAY's .."WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE and YOUNG".. state that after Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE's Briefing to MacNAMARA about his Victory at the Battle of IA DRANG, MacNAMARA simply said "Thanks" and started to write a memo to LBJ on his plane back home saying that the Vietnam War was unwinnable. This was in November 1965..!!!

...And it was this same MacNAMARA that LBJ trusted to filter all our Air Strike Targets in Communist North Vietnam for the President's Approval.

The Enemy is now Within...
and always has been.

If the Strange one thought that then it just shows what immoral bastards he and LBJ were. Does murderer come to mind? Sounds a little weak to me.

Garry Owen's was the name of a bar in my neighborhood. I was a member of the 1/69 Inf. in the NY Army Natioal Guard also. Guess what was the unit's song was?
