I just watched the Showtime special about the ‘72 olympics. It began then, with the cycle of terror and appeasement.

The US response was to whisk Mark Spitz away on a plane and then watch the tragedy unfold, in horror. I was a child, but I recall it very clearly.

A new holocaust, on German soil, before the entire planet’s eyes.

I was in the US Army, stationed in Neu Ulm, Germany (maybe 100 km. from Munich), when that all happened. You have no idea how much we all wanted to be asked to go take those guys down. But the call never came...
