"We Were Soldiers" was the most important movie I've ever seen.

The month of November 1965 when these gallant fighters made history, the Joint Chiefs tried in vain to convince LBJ to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong.

His obscene and humiliating rejection of their plan is recounted in "The Day It Became the Longest War" by Lt. Gen. Charles G. Cooper, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) the aide to the chiefs at that meeting.

The article appeared in the May 1996 Proceedings of the U.S. Naval Institute.

I would be happy to fax the four-page article to any of you who express interest by freepmailing me with your fax number.

LBJs "sanitizing" of target lists and obscene rules of engagement together with the odious crimes of Strange McNamara snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hats off to the unsurpassed heroism of the finest fighting men on earth;

Heads off for the fifth column quislings from Johnson to Cronkite; from McNamara to Kerry.

Joe Galloway in 1965
