Years ago, B.G. Burkett (writer of "Stolen Valor" was on a radio show I called in on. I said the false image of veterans was tied in to the whole leftist false image of Vietnam.

I mentioned that the US Embassy was not overrun as reported but it's part of history that it was.

Mr. Burkett agreed with me but the radio host was astonished.

"What!? The US Embassy was not overrun?"

I referred him to "Hazardous Duty," by "Jumping" Jack Singlaub for the truth.

Vietnam was a propaganda war as well as a physical one and many communists and fellow travelers are still fighting it.

Then Col. Singlaub was Chief MACVSOG in 68 when I volunteered.
He was the best I recall in that position. Ellsberg never saw
combat in Vietnam during his USMC time in a platoon and company. These writers are mostly idiots. I recall one of ours became a journalist. He told the Congress about the secret bombings in Cambodia. Yes, he spoke in detail that bombing COSVN was like poking a hole in a hornet’s nest. TS INFO is TS until DECLASSIFIED.
