Nothing came of the recommendations. At the time no one heard of Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda was far into the future.

But LZ X-ray veteran turned corporate security VP Rick Rescorla was teaching his Morgan-Stanley coworkers to file out of the building rapidly. He knew.

Thirty years after Vietnam ended, who's looking out for their fellow Americans? Who's teaching their coworkers how to treat trauma and evacuate wounded? Who's warning their fellow Americans about communist and Arabist influence on our media? It's the Vietnam vet.

In the 21st century, we are going to recognize that the Vietnam veteran will have saved us twice. First it was by peppering the Russians and their VC minions with bloody hell in Vietnam. Then it was peppering the MSM from the refuge of blogs all over the Internet during the 2004 elections. What'll be next? I imagine a lot of it can't even be discussed. Vets are nudging us here, proding us there, always saying, "Be situationally aware. They're coming for us. Get ready."

We should listen. They've been telling us what to expect, but we didn't pay attention.
