The MAC/SOG stuff didn’t come out for probably 30 years after. That’s long enough.

Not quite long enough for some of it.

There are still folks in Congress who get mighty testy about some things that happened back then, including who in Congress blew the whistle on the Son Tay POW raid, and the little matter of the attempted sinking and deliberate murder of 34 US Sailors in lifeboats and aboard the U.S.S. Liberty during the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War.

I had always wondered about the Son Tay raid with the prisoners having been moved just before they got there. I don’t guess I have ever heard anything about it being compromised, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

The commander, Bull Simons lived on a hog farm not too far from where I grew up South of DeFuniak Springs, FL. I think the fact that he operated a hog farm meant he was not a practicing Jew.
