In case anybody missed your point IT WAS THE DEMOCRATS!

I remember sitting in a bunker at Pleiku AB in 1968 and listening to AAFRTS on the radio when the news was announced that Johnson had ordered an end to the bombing of Hanoi...SAY WHAT?

Oops...forgot to mention we were under heavy rocket attack at the time we heard that heart-warming announcement...which is why we were in the bunker.

I was there with the 4th Inf div, I'll never forget when he stopped the bombing. I always thought LBJ was the worst president the country ever had, coarse that was before Clinton.

I was setting on a small LZ called Jeannie up North out from Camp Evans and heard that the bombing had been halted and was in shock for days. All the activity in the area began to increase as he he sat in DC saying how the war would see a turn for the better . Wish I could go back in time and grasp him around the seat of his pants and take him where I was and let him see what a curse he put upon the military of this great country. Damn him, God has a way with his kind of person.

Oct 31 1968 I was a Gunners Mate on a destroyer
in the Gulf of Tonkin when the cease fire took place.
All the carriers and ships with them headed south.
EXCEPT us, we patrolled the coast of North Vietnam for 4 weeks with no air or ship cover.
