MEMO - THE WHITEHOUSE
Date: December 24, 1968 From: Richard M. Nixon
To: Lt. JG John Kerry
Subj: CAMBODIA INCURSION
Dear Mr. Kerry, we have selected you to take your swiftboat out tonight on a little run. Succeed, and their is a CIA hat in it for you.
This is Top Secret, so don't do anything foolish like write a movie review about the experience at some future date.
We want you to do this alone. So give your crew liberty tonight. Explain your absence away with some excuse. Try saying you want that ingrown toenail of yours looked at down a sickbay.
You are to proceed 50 miles into Cambodia and pick up a double agent. Khmer Rouge, to be exact.
Nobody knows about these guys, and they haven't gotten much publicity. Actually none. So that will be good for cover.
Yours Truly,
Richard M. Nixon
President
PS Be careful. CIA reports South Vietnamese Buddists may be hitting the sauce tonight - Christmas and all.
Why is the shadow, on the person to the left of the photo, on his left shoulder and the shadow on Kerry is on his right shoulder? Two suns I guess
At least yours looks like it's from the 1960s... Rather looks like the biggest F'ing idiot in the history of investigative reporting tonight.
Actually it is a direct sun causing the shadows to fall based on which direction the person is holding their head.
Not likely!
I am a skilled photographer. I can duplicate those shadows on any sunny day.
I can do the same thing with photo shop too.
Other than the CIA hat and Cambodia in the background it is a legit photo!
