Ah yes, I remember my unit taking equipment to the depot to send to our allies. It took a couple years for us to get back up to our full authorized stuff on hand.

Thank you for this thread.
I had no idea this happened.
Two Washington Post scum started a rumor that Cuba was sending
money to the democrat party which brought down this man.

Richard Nixon was always a stout friend of Israel.

Compare and contrast with Carter, who, when the arabs imposed the oil embargo against the USA for supporting Israel -— with Iran controlled by the Shah being the only Gulf nation who continued to supply oil the the USA -— rewarded the Shah by getting him deposed for his implicit support of Israel.

more than 22,000 tons of armaments.

And it was not just any arms - it was advanced anti-tank rounds, SAM busters and air-to-air missiles - just what they needed to turn the tide...

I had heard from someone “in-the-know” that Nixon had the military at Defcon 2 during this time in expectation of an attack by Russia on Israel. Did anyone else ever hear that?

When I was in the AF met a pilot involved in ferrying replacement F-4’s to Israel. Told me how they rendezvoused with an Israeli jet that told them to follow him, and turn to land when he told them. My buddy and the flight of F-4’s followed him, were told to prepare for landing, then to turn final approach and land. My friend said he thought they were nuts, only empty desert in front of them. He didn’t see the airfield AT ALL till he was almost over the approach end of the runway, the camouflage was that good.

This would come very close to world war 3 in short order. Kissinger, with Nixon’s approval, apparently told the soviets to turn their forces around from going to egypt/suez or the united states would start a nuclear war.

This incident doesn’t receive anything close to the coverage it deserves.

God can use any instrument to carry out His Will.

“He knew that his enemies . . . would never give him credit for saving Israel. He did it anyway.”

That line says it all.

[cotton1706]

At the time he said to someone “You send everything that flies, damn it!!” And it got done.

President Nixon was a fundamentally decent man, and a patriotic American.

[montag813]

My Jewish relatives have always given Nixon credit, even though they are Commie Lib nutbag freaks.

Today, I fear Obama will help to destroy Israel - and get no blame.

Whatever else you can say about him, the SOB knew how to make decisions, unlike the fraud now in charge.
