So, what do you think we should do in Africa and other places?

I haven't seen any thing in Africa that makes me want to send our soldiers over there.

I sorry I gave you a hard time about Vietnam. I am on your side. However, people who opposed sending you to Vietnam were not against you either.

Like I stated before, Vietnam was one of the many proxy wars that were being fought. I had to go into consulates of African countries that had been bombed because they wouldn't allow the communist to send troops through their borders to fight in Angola. The people who didn't want to send troops just played into their hands. The Cold War was very hot in a lot of places. We just never told the public what was really going on and looking back now, I think we should have.
